For the few times I lost XP, it is not worth it to me... This is terribly slower. Quite simply, it isn't fun, and until it is changed, I won't plow, plant, harvest... my two farms of pineapples can rot. There are other things to do other than 'WAIT...I'm Busy' Between that message, the highlighted crops, and the huge harvest tool... what a joke Can't see where to click. Sorry folks.. I know you are trying hard, and doing a great job with this game, but this is not THE answer. Maybe the spacing before 'not teleporting' is too short... I like the concept of stopping the idiots who jump all over. Field to field just making a mess... but on the other hand, that was fun... so there are collisions... Award both parties the XP points... not like you will go broke doing it?

Well, earlier when the changes first came into being I became very frustrated at the slowness of the pace. I have just been begging on the market and landed a couple of harvest jobs when I was amazed at the difference!! I was sooooooo much faster than before and the game saved much quicker. The only negative I would add is that it was a little slow telling me that plots had already been harvested. I wondered why the other harvester was just standing there...lol!

Thumbs up from me DEVS!!!

OK I understand why. People were running all over you in a field. But It takes sooooo loooonnnngggg to get a job done. I was actually disconnected tonight in the middle of a job. I lost xp points also, but I made them up, eventually. At this rate I'll never get to even buy a mansion, much less a second farm. It may be good for those who were already high up, but for us beginners its not good. We have to work many farms to get an upgrade, at this rate we will never get there.

Thankyou so much for your hard work in your upgrades and considering others. It always annoyed me the ones who just click any where but now there is organization in harvesting and plowing just like in real life. Thankyou guys
Happy Farming

Never before have ANY changes the developers made generated so many negative responses in so short a time. This was the worst change they ever made, then. I hope they will see this fact too and realise that this change (1) will make them lose millions of losers, and (2) doesn't even solve the problem they were trying to solve. It only made the original problem occur 70% less of the time.

Even the people who had the points/coin loss problem are complaining. That should tell the developers something.

The rate of replies to this particular change is WAY WAY WAY higher than any change before.

I hope the developers pay attention. Because for developers of a free game to lose millions of users will be devastating...

Relax folks, Raul is working hard on this game. Yes, that's right, it is a GAME.

Yes it is a game, but currently it takes me over 2 hours to harvest, plow and seed my 2 farms again.

That is just bad..... and previously you had to click them and just wait, now it means 2 hours of clicking.........

Solarra · #77 Dec 22 2009, 07:04 PM

I am one of those people who lost xp and coin and I'd still rather have it the old way.

mbw · #78 Dec 22 2009, 07:05 PM

Millions of USERS, I meant, lol.

By the way. My farm is supposed to be linked (says it is) but it isn't, what's the deal here?

Thanks Ed! I won't be able to get on until later, but I appreciate you mentioning this here. Sounds like it is still the same ...

The auto linking is down - you'll need to put in a manual link to your farm.

I think what's wrong here is people are forgetting that they aren't the only ones playing the game. All I see is "I this" and "I that." Just because you didn't lose xp/coins doesn't mean Joe from Egypt didn't. I know this is going to sound mean but if you want to leave then go. These devs are trying to make the game enjoyable for EVERYONE to play. Yes, you have to stay just a little bit longer to harvest/plow. Yes the farmers can now see who the harvest hogs are. Yes, you have to learn how to maneuver the game now. I wasn't aware that this game was about getting everything as fast as you can. If that's how you play then great, now you have a new challenge.

At least the devs are TRYING to help us. They could just say, "Oh screw the problems. Let's make more FC items" but they don't. So now there is a fix and one day in the future you won't have to come to the forum saying "NOT GETTING XPPPSSSS/COINNSSSSS. OMG DEVS FIX THIS."

Sorry about this rant here but it just gets to me sometimes. Thank you so much devs for the great work you do and for a GREAT GAME.
