I've only accidently sold something I didnt want to sell once and it was chocolate liquor but I make so much of it that I wasnt to upset.

This isnt FT's fault, its mine but one day last week, I walked away from the computer while the market was open and my 2 year old started clicking and sold almost everything in my storage unit. lol

Like selling in the market. How all of your goods are in one storage unit and every time you sell something you have to by pass all the stuff you dont want to sell to get to the stuff that you do want to sell. It takes me nearly a half hour to go through and sell all my finished products, without selling stuff I didnt want to sell. Or how when your in the market selling you get 100 requests for work. Or if you are in there to hire there is no way to tell who is there just selling, who is there to hire, and who is there looking for work (if they are not begging). And I come across a room multiple times a day where are just not talking. It doesnt take long to become annoyed by some of this stuff. And these are things that the devs would have caught if they played the game like we do.

Hmmmmm - excellent idea !! May all the devs be made to actually sit and PLAY the game for a week as we do, then get back into their developing. As you say, I'll bet we'd see some major, more practical changes very quickly.

However, this should already be happening because as far as I know the moderators are players as well ..... so assuming they are passing the problems on to the devs ..... why are the fixes not happening? I guess the devs don't communicate with them either. I sooooooo wish they would stop being quite so fixated with making more garish facilities and get back to some of the basics again.

Oh well, I guess we should all be thankful for the moment that the wretched little gift reminding gnome has taken a far lower profile than before ..... though I find it hard to be grateful after it took months of pleading to get rid of his way too high profile. My feeling is more like 'thanks, it's about time too!'

Well, if they PAID ATTENTION to all of us beta testers, and respected our knowledge of the game, there wouldn't be a need for them to actually play the game.

Try being philanthropic and gift factories and house etc to your friends.

It is very time consuming trying to sell items tho. Maybe there needs to be one for finished products and another for stuff that you need . Or little box where you can just scroll thru and check mark what you want to sell and sell all at one time. Having to scroll thru each time you sell one is a pain in the butt.

It would be a big help if it simply didn't go all the way back up to the top when you sell something.

I agree that is such a nuisance.

He was so proud of himself. He thought he had done me a big favor. lol

I think there are a lot of kids that play this game. Probably more than most people realize.

Thats a start. For both storage units. The one for the market and your farm.

I would be happy if all items that did not have the ?box were at the top as the ones without the box are the only ones I sell.

My friends 4 year old grandson plays with her and absolutely loves it. He badgered her for ages until she could afford to buy A BIG TRUCK to put on the farm. She and I hid our leprechauns for ages after St Patrick's Day for him to find. It didn't take too long before we simply couldn't out smart him anymore
