If they did use the pop up system, then when someone goes to look at the tools, there should be a pop up notifying that farmer that someone is wanting to look at their tools and ask for permission to show the pop up to that person, there needs to be something to protect the person from just anyone looking at your highest tools. I would rather see a fire button instead of allowing anyone that wants to see my highest tools that I have, if they want to know what tools I have, they can ask, and if someone lies about their tools, that is what the fire button is for.

Instead of showing the persons' tools, what they could do is when the hire menu appears have an option that states "tools" or "no tools", this way if you select "no tools" and you send it to someone, it looks at their tools and if it finds that the farmer has any tools it would send you a notice stating that the option is incorrect for this hire request and give you a chance to either cancel that request or to change your option to "tools". This way the persons' tools remains private as they should be and the person doing the hiring would know if the person has any tools or not. If you would select "tools" then it wouldn't matter what the person had in there storage and would go right through to the farmer.

I would like a way of knowing what jobs a farmer is willing and not willing to do instead of wasting time trying to hire and getting no thank you's Some will say "all jobs"or "any job" in the market place but then turn down your harvest and plow job when chopping or fishing is also asked. I have gone back after a refusal and asked the same person to harvest and plow leaving off the chopping or fishing and they accept the job. There really needs to be some incentive such as XP's to get people to chop, harvest trees and flowers and to fish. It's getting harder and harder to get people to do these jobs.

agree with ccheney. Need to get XP for doing trees and flowers, especially because they can be very difficult with tools!

I really don't mind sharing work, but when hired with other farmers, especially farmers with no or smaller tools, I have to basically sit around and wait for them to finish their part in order to collect rewards for working. I will not be a pig and do all the work out from under them. I've also noticed that when hired for a lot of work, sometimes the rewards expire before I can finish and collect. It's a good thing I'm not depending on the rewards.

You are proof that there are good farmers, still. Like you, I don't mind sharing and will not be a greedy pig and use my tools to get all, taking away from farmers who do not need it.

I wish more farmers were like you. I just worked a farm where it was me and three people with combines. I only have a 6x6 harvester and 5x5 plow. I was basically useless as the others were done before I could even click on my harvester. There is no need to hire four people with tools for one farm. No one gets any profit out of it.

I don't mind sharing work. If I am working with someone I usually harvest a line down the middle of the field so we each have an equal amount of field and each get our fair share of the work. and suggest that we each work one side of that line.Most of the farmers I have worked with are agreeable to that arrangement and have thanked me for being fair, but some still get greedy and take over the whole field in which case the best thing to do is leave. Also if the other worker doesn't have tools I won't use mine. Then they won't feel like they are being too slow and I won't be standing around waiting for them to finish so I can collect the bonus.

You sound like a dying breed there!
I was doing a farm earlier this morning and then up pops someone who basically took over the farm and cleared it in something like 6 clicks as they had the tools to do it in something like a 16x16 grid and as I am only a new farmer with 2 farms, don't have the luxury. I am doing it 1 by 1 and being partially sighted, takes me some time to do. The could see that I was doing the farm and could have jumped on one of the persons other farms.
I do have other profiles with other farms but I am taking time off from them to concentrate on my new farms.

Along with that, what's up with the rewards expiring? If a person hires you for multiple jobs on a farm that is layered and/or stacked that takes a while to complete, the reward should not expire as long as I am on the farm working. I have all the big tools and sometimes it still takes a while.

If I'm hired for multiple farms and there is worker already on the farm I arrive at, I go to another farm and start working there.
