To the developers - thanks for all you do. Been there. Done that.

yep its a pain, but when you put a product out there that relies on active users or it sinks and you lose money...you get to work. especially when a lot of those users put real money into it. So therefor people who come to play this game, should not have to worry about how hard it is to do it.

Look, it's now such a pain to harvest or plow it won't be long before NOBODY will harvest your crops or plow your fields.

You have taken a fun to play socially interactive game and made it so frustrating to play that soon you will lose all of your players.

It may be true that it avoids collisions, but the collisions are not the problem. The problem are the players that hire 20 people at a time and create a feeding frenzy in the first place.

It would be much better to put the harvest and plow settings back where they were and place hiring limits on employers instead. This would eliminate the problem without the higher frustration level and make the game more profitable for the employees and a better, higher quality job for the employers because of the decreased competition.

I urge you to take this under serious consideration, I do enjoy this game but will not continue to play when it's this frustrating.

ok I do like the way it is now, I am not getting walked on by other players who decide to jump all over the field and gather as many points as they can.People actually have to plow rows to have speed im just as fast as i was before because i plow rows zig zagging back and forth. If you jump then yes it is very slow. Make a pattern and keep moving in one direction it works well

I can tell you are LEVEL 1!

This is bogus. It is taking me forever to work by myself on my own farm or a friends farm. Keep this up and I'll quit this game and move on to something that is not a pain in the neck.

lore28 · #**717** Dec 23 2009, 12:43 AM

Totally agree with you

TommyD · #**718** Dec 23 2009, 12:45 AM

Say what you want but it's way to slow. I agree with the majority. I don't mind that you have to be in your area to harvest but for the love of god, it's like my avatar got lazy and fat overnight and now moves at a snails pace. As someone with full time jobs who likes to come home and unwind for a few minutes with Farmtown, I can say that I will be one of those 3 day players and not the daily player I am now. As for the **** about getting use to harvesting in a pattern and it's just as fast? Not even close to being true. And has anyone noticed that you can still harvest trees the old way? When is that going to change? I may hold on to the App at least for a little while but I won't be playing as much. Shame since I did enjoy it.

actually you dont have to do rows, i have seen people go right down the middle diagonal still. People who jumped around everywhere weren't making as much money as people doing rows anyway. all this did was take away the advantage of faster clickers.
