Meanwhile my main problem with the belts is still the way in which we request the bonus. The pop ups have now lessened, which is great BUT this also means I am not always being given the opportunity to post for the bonus. The other problem is when I do get the pop ups, I don't know when they will stop for that particular crop. I have sometimes posted all of them until they stop and then go to my profile to delete all the lesser levels, but that is not really a great way to have to go about doing things.

So while the specs/stats for the limits, quantities are being revised for us I also think the requesting method also needs to be investigated too. In a nutshell, the pop ups have been reduced, on the one hand that is great, but on the other it means we are missing opportunities and at times for the crops that we would REALLY like to request a bonus for.

I keep giving my solution to this with the hope that the devs will look into it. I feel that it would be more logical to completely do away with the pop up requests, and that we should be able to click on our belts at the seed store and make our request for a bonus from there. This will give us the chance to make the most of ALL our belts, as and when we want to. At the moment the pop ups are not just a lottery, but a pain for some people who are finding their walls jammed with unwanted posts.

Players can be more choosy about what they want for a bonus, thus making the belt challenge also last a lot longer.

I don't think you understand how the bonus works, as Raul has said, the one time popups for each belt are not that important. What is important is that you start receiving bonus points from then on, without popups. I don't bother my neighbors for each belt earned, unless I really need the extra crops immediately.

You don't need to request the onetime bonus and flood your neighbors wall

And the latest change has disabled the million coin limit for me, by my count, it stopped giving me any bonuses from my neighbors at about 300,000, even though I was gone for well over 12 hours at work today.... Good grief, let's please get it right!

Yes I do understand, I have also been saying that once we have the belts we have a chance of gaining bonus crops that won't involve having to request a bonus.

But as the feedback here has been totally dominated by the use of the pop ups, I thought it might be helpful to add my thoughts to how all the fuss could be greatly reduced.

Raul may have said the pop ups were not important, so why add them in the first place? It's too late now, the deed is done, everyone now wants to make the most of those extra bonus's, hence the spamming, hence my idea to lessen the fuss

I can see where some of the complaints arise from when the devs call it your neighbors wall... it is not your neighbors wall but the FARM TOWN game feed.

Baba the belt itself as I understand this until they explain the word "chance", may give you zero extra boxes as you harvest. If they have explained it and I've missed that will need to find the update or someone can fill me in.

I am with Oopsy on this (and she gets it and understands it very well with the information we have been given). And I am thankful I have neighbors who are posting them. Where in this game can we gain 1000's of an item with one click but a belt reward?

From the devs update I gather they won't be updating how the belt reward postings work and are now trying to pacify the situation with their insignificant post. I have moved on from this disaster for now, grateful to my neighbors who also get the value of the rewards. And hope next time there is an update like this that the devs think it out a little better versus saying what they did was insignificant.
