Discussions about Hiring and Hiring Practices

Anyone else finding that when hiring from the market .it is getting very very hard to find people who actually do the trees and flowers.
I fertilise all my farms so its double money. I dont have 'weird' set ups i hire Solo and yet i cannot get the people I hire to do trees & flowers ..they just leave them, grab the crops & go..
For the last few month I have to do trees and flowers myself 90% of the times. Are others finding this also ??

I sometimes think it's a throw back to when the game first started. Trees gave us nothing or next to nothing and were not used for anything. People used them for decoration and would get LIVID if you harvested them.

If I hire someone for flowers and trees I make sure to tell them when we get to my farm.

I do not have tools for trees or flowers, so they are very difficult for me, if they are jammed together and there are farms full of them --the dimmer does help, but without the tools they are still difficult and time consuming. I have gone to hire someone for a field and gotten hired for EVERYTHING for all of their farms. This is overwhelming to me. I have sent messages to the person letting them know that I did not have the tools for them.
Every time I go to the marketplace, I see people advertising that they WANT to chop or do trees or flowers for someone. Maybe if you hire them for just those things. If they see the crops and ask about them, politely say that when they finish the trees and flowers that you will hire them for harvesting and planting. I would not be offended to be told that politely. If they just wanted the trees and flowers, you could hire another person for just harvesting and plowing. Good luck.
OH--have you tried this? Send out messages to your neighbors who are farming asking if one of them would like to do your trees and flowers. I have had great success doing this. And they are reputable.

I have that trouble too and when I ask people to harvest and plough, they only do a few squares or none at all then just dissappear.

I love doing solo jobs and would love to help out on your farm. Would you add me please.

p.s. I will be editing my sig at the bottom so it shows my farm addresses.

I rarely work in the marketplace. However, I often will look for someone who says they have "no tools" to do a field of acorn squash if I have one. Some people will say they have "no tools" and some people put in with their name. Either way I appreciate it, if I am looking for someone without tools to hire. I was thinking of recommending it to someone, but I really didn't know if people got hired more or less by saying they have "no tools". Anyone know if putting "no tools" with their name or saying "no tools" hurts their ability to get work?

Getting upset here - last 3 times I have been hired to fish there is nothing there to fish - I've gone to every farm and everything is at zero, which takes ALOT of time when they hired you for all 16 farms - they shouldn't be allowed to hire if there is nothing there.

My question is in the Market Place I frequently see someone pop in and out with a post of:
"sally: hire me pls! i use the ẹfarmẹr tool from w ww.e farmertool.com" I have see other names than sally but sally I think is the most frequent. They are gone so quickly I don't think it is actually anyone and they are getting hired. Is this just a bot or what?

Hi, yes it is, the developers are aware of it and are trying to stop it. It is difficult because they keep changing the name and email address slightly.
