hmm, my complaint is the opposite, people who agree to work.. pick and choose and leave. I have a large farm and use the multiple hire tool.. when possible.. and am content to let good workers work the whole farm.. but mostly people only want to plow.. never mind fishing or picking fruit.. flowers forget it.. As a result I don't use the market anymore except to buy and sell goods.

Danielle, I wish I could get together with you and we could be neighbors. I would hire you. I do like to hire people who need the XP, and don't like beggers. I have had people leave a job half done, but I also realize it could be an accident. When I hire someone, especially to harvest AND plow, I follow them back to see what kind of tools they have. My fields are very big and overlapped, and time consuming without tools. I will ask them if they want a helper. Some do, some don't. I have even seen very meticulous workers and helped myself. The last time, I asked if she'd like me to harvest and let her plow for the XP. She was very excited about that and it helped her with her little plow. BUT I also, send them a message. That way, if they get bumped off the farm accidently, they have a way to message me and come back for a re-hire. I just tell them Ill be on another farm, and if they need me message me. I have the combine and green fishing boat myself, but no treeshaker or chainsaw, so I don't like to do trees or flowers. But IF I am multi-hired for those, I try to do them all, even though it takes me so long. I know how frustrating it is to hire someone, come back later ready to plant, and the job isn't completeted. OH--I am at work, and can not get on FB or the game. Weird that the e-mail link lets me come here. If I was home, I could link my farm for you to visit.

I still think we need two markets for hire one for tools and one for no tools. I do not mind working with others either way, but I just feel so bad when I start running over the non tooled workers. I also never hire the non tooled workers for the same reason, our farms have gotten so big and complicated that I feel bad for them trying to work there way through and they never are able to complete the farms before they get booted.

I would love to have a way for my neighbors to be able to work my farms when they come into visit, if I am not there to hire them. We help each other out in real life so why not here as well? I have gone to many of my neighbors to work factories and so forth and noticed their crops need harvested, and would have loved to of been able to help them.

I think being courteous, like we should strive to be in real life, pays all around on FT. As many have mentioned above, remembering what it was like in the beginning without tools, and leaving a reasonable amount for them if you are one of several workers, is polite and kind, allows them to move up in the game, and you may meet good workers for future jobs simply by being polite and considerate. I often tell the toolless worker I am leaving the rest for them, or if they are working my farm, I will ask if they have time to do a big job or want help, to share chopping or flowers and so forth. I just pop back in to the market and hire for specific jobs or just one of my farms at a time. If I happen onto someone with all tools, who will do all jobs (like me...I'll do anything, as it all pays off in the end....) then I just solo hire for the whole shebang. Just communicating is helpful. If a worker doesn't respond, I send a message, wait, maybe try again...if I get no response, I leave for a bit then check in and see how far they have gotten, how slow or fast they are, and if they are purposely leaving certain jobs out. If they won't answer, I then hire maybe one more worker if they are too slow....Depends on how much time I have.... Again, I appreciate communication, but many workers are not fluent in English or aren't good typists, or simply go right to full screen and can't see/ respond to messages...or are just rude! Lol.... Whatever the reason, if someone isn't responding, I give them the benefit of the doubt, but hire more workers to get the job done.
I like this thread. It helps to see how others feel/ see the game. Some folks are pretty selfish, others are polite....but, in the end, it is just a game and we can be selective or not depending on how others behave. Ta. |

Hiring Changes - Everything- SOLO - Buddy List - Reputation
I would like the option to hire workers to do everything. I frequently hire with all boxes checked and for all 15 farms. Each farms has a mix of Plants, Flowers, Trees, Chopping and Fish to be done, depending on the how long the worker works, more products mature.
I also feel that individual workers that want to work SOLO must be also willing to do everything that the farmer has hired for them to do. SOLO has another problem, in that the farmer does not have control on how fast individuals respond to a hire request, I have had workers respond to hire request in the order of 10 minutes. SOLO workers can be brutal with their messages if another worker shows up, something completely out of the control of the hiring farmer. I feel that there should be reputation ratings for workers. It would be percentage of the jobs done when hired, and a fast, medium, or slow rating for the speed that they work. I would like to use the buddy list as a list of qualified workers and hire directly from that list. This might be a way to handle the vacation issue, by issuing an unlimited hire request to buddies; this would pop up when they log on for a period of time. |

I believe its FT etiquette to not accept jobs that you have waiting for you after being AFK.
And I do not accept jobs from people who have all boxes checked because most of the time its people who are just lazy and dont want to go and check the appropriate boxes. if you dont have plowing then dont check the box. If you dont have flowers then dont check the box. Etc etc etc. A rating system would be nice but with OCD-"All or nothing" type people like myself i dont think youd like it because we'd give the lot of people low scores. The buddy system thing could work provided those people could be counted on to play the game continuously. If someone had hired me to do stuff for them their crops just might be dead right now because i just havent had any motivation to play FT since the last update. As for people being rude with their solo only remarks, when that happens i go and do the work myself right over top of them. If the people complain i simply say "you either both share or you both get nothing". I dont condone (which in my world means 'i wont put up with') selfishness.
