Players with tools just steam in and take the lot regardless of anyone else. I don't have any income so I cannot purchase credits to buy these items and consequently i now dread going to market to find employment.
As a suggestion could hiring be altered in some way so farmers can emloy one or the other - either 4 x 4s and the like or 1 x 1s?
It would restore my enjoyment i believe.
I can't be the only one who feels like this surely?

This is being discussed, I cannot think of a solution, some have come up with ideas that are not workable, many feel as you do. I am uncomfortable and frustrated using tools for similar reasons. When hired with someone who is 1x1, I leave half for them. This is fine, except that one of the following happens. They leave immediately because I use my tools, despite my writing in the chat box that I will leave half. With the multiple hire, I don't know which task to start with. I get yelled at by the farmer for not leaving the right things for the 1X1. (happened yesterday) Or I only do half on a large layered farms and the farmer yells at me for not finishing. I try to ask the other person hired for direction on what they want out of the job, but seldom get an answer or get a ??? from them. I know I can just leave jobs if there is another person there, but I really will not do that. I do not want to just advertise solo work but am always relieved when it is a solo job. I will not give up my tools, they are wonderful with carpel tunnel, arthritis, tendinitis, and fibromyalgia wrecking my clicking ability. It is a touchy subject with possible infringements working against both employers and employees with any solution. I wish the tools were just universal and free, but that causes income infringements on the part of the developers. If they suddenly said, ok, anyone can now buy one with coins then there would be many upset that they spent real money on the ones they have. Maybe allowing the 3x3's to be used in the marketplace but would that make people upset also. You can see this is a quandry for us all. Maybe the devs have already come up with a solution and we will find out soon.
