I suppose a lot of work went into all these new tools. I think that is great, especially when people have just begun playing. When I was new at FT, I'd have loved to have seeders and harvesters--especially before I had more than 10 neighbors.

HOWEVER, the tools are totally useless if you can only use them on your own farm, yet you get only the same number of coins per plot as you would without them AND you are restricted to the direction of the multiple fields. I enjoy planting in patterns, and so, I have no use for a seeder and will not be buying that.

I just wish all that time, effort and energy went into creating more levels and more real estate. I am approaching Level 34--end of the line at this point. I enjoy creating the patterns for my fields and the variety of seeds is certainly quite plentiful for the number of fields I have. But with new buildings (chicken coop, pigpen, etc.) real estate is used up quickly.

Don't get me wrong. I love FarmTown. I love the interaction/chat ability that only FarmTown seems to have. I enjoy Farmville, too, for different reasons (like the pink cows and balloons and swans, etc.) Having animals that produce income is a good idea. Since day one, the animals on FT are strictly there for decoration. I'm thinking it is worth my while to sell 'em off since they just take up space, cute as they are. I'm being gifted lots of fuel that I now have no use for and don't intend to use. Pointless gifts, since no explanation on its use before sending means my friends are wasting their time. Now I will have to message them all NOT to bother.

I wish improving what is already there took precedence over competition with other farm games. Certainly a post on the newsfeed would help to introduce new features and their use, or at least a blurb to check the forum to find out what's new isn't too much trouble. Most people I know have never seen the forums or know they exist. With each "hoax" email, I point them to the forum.

I know I have rambled on here, but really, an "upgrade" that is only a lateral move is not much of an improvement.

Ok, now it is linked. Can someone please help me out? I just want to be able to receive my gifts!
