I used my Farmtown coins on all purchases...

You can because you have 30 neighbors. She was referring to the fact if you do not (have 30 neighbors) you can still purchase it with Farmcash. Each upgrade also requires either 30 neighbors or Farmcash. Some who purchased the original 3rd farm with cash had the understanding that after that upgrades could be purchased with coins.

But I only add people I know as Facebook friends. Developers, either change the ridiculous 30 neighbours requirement, or let us add neighbours without having to add them as Facebook friends!

For all the people that don't want to share stuff with strangers this is how you can block them from seeing everything on your FB account except your name.

Go to fb click on account then edit friends, once that page comes up click on friends, now at the top of that list there will be create new list button click on that and now name it anything you want. You can add friends you have now to this list or leave it empty for now to add to later. Now go to privacy settings, everything that is on that list has a drop down menu click on it and click on customize and you now have two choices they are make this visible to and hide from. In the hide from box type in the name you gave the list of friends you made, click on that name when it comes up and the people on that list will not be able to see that information about you. Once you have that done click on back to privacy and click on contact information and do the same thing with the information there. Now you don't have to hide everything from them you can hide one category but not another category just depends on how you feel about that information. Now when you add a new friend there is an option when you send a friend request or accept a friend request to add them to a list. At this time if you want they can be added to that list you made and they will see only what you let people on that list see.

Do you have an add blocker on your computer? If yes you will need to turn it off before going to the earn coins/cash tab, then you should see the offers. The app of the day is not there everyday but you should see one 2 or 3 times a week. Also remove the app if you are not going to use it, in the past they same app has come up again and you could add it again to get the app of the day. There are other offers out there that are free and say you need to give them correct information to get the FC other then email you don't need to give them correct information. You need to give them an email address you have accuse to because sometimes you have to send in a copy of the conformation email to get the fc. What I have done is set me up what I call a junk email account, it is an email account that I use for stuff like this that way all the spam you will get form it goes to that email account and I don't have it filling up my regular email account. This account doesn't have to be the same email you use for FB.

Except that - and I suspect other people feel the same way - regardless of privacy settings, etc., I simply do not add people to my Facebook that I do not know in person, period. And that's a rule I'm not going to break, "even" for Farm Town.

Similarly, I have plenty of friends on Facebook, and only a few who are on Farm Town, but I am not going to badger the ones that aren't to start playing the game, just so I can up my neighbour count. Call be cynical, but putting such a large neighbour requirement on this seem a calculated move by the developers to "force" us to get get more players for them!

Using Farm Dollars isn't an option for me, as I'm already on Level 80, and I'm not going to mess around with the "application of the day" for similar reasons for not adding "strangers" to my Facebook. I'm not adverse to using real money to purchase some Farm Dollars, but again it just looks like a cynical attempt to on the part of the developers that this is the only other way to purchase a third farm.

Got the third, the whole nine yards. Still haven't come up with a master plan, will grow crops in the meantime. This is great!
No problem with neighbor requirements, anyone I don't want on Facebook can be blocked. Friends that don't 'farm' isn't a problem, they can still be added as neighbors. They don't have to be active farmers. Those two steps take care of half the complaints against it.
I like working for what I have. I'd rather not have life handed to me on a silver 3rd farm.
Thanks devs! Regardless of what you do someone isn't going to like it. It doesn't mean it is all wrong.
