Since I am the owner of the farm, I am the only one who has the right to determine who and how many people I hire. I currently have 27 farms and there is plenty to go around if I hire more than one for a specific job. So if you come after me for multiple hiring, be prepare to get marked as ignore. You will be the reason you no longer get hired for work on my farms. There are plenty of other players who will gladly work side by side with others.

It is not that we don't like to work with others - we have to fight the game (and sometimes the players) for anything! Example. Most people's internet is faster than mine, so it doesn't matter how fast I can work (which is pretty speedy when I have good internet) also when more than 1 person is hired for the same job, and 1 is done before the other, that one who is done has to fight the game , on constantly reloading the farm so it can reflect the entire job is done, so we can get our bonus and move on. These are the 2 main reasons I have went to wanting Solo work only for the last 8 plus years way before this bonus thing came out, I was so tired of people being scabs and literally hogging the entire farm, instead of working one section and letting the other person (or persons) work other sections, as soon as they notice another person is there they start jumping all over the land harvesting/plowing - what ever the job maybe - so the other persons get little to nothing

Just last night , I asked for work - solo only - I was doing just fine on my own, next thing I know another person hops in, and the entire farm that I hadn't done yet - (it was the biggest land you can get and i had it about half way done) was harvested in like 30 seconds, Yet I spent the next 10 minutes reloading the farm, so the game would finally realize it was done and I could get my bonus and leave all together even though I was hired for several farms, I wasn't fighting no scab for some coins and xp! And there have been times I was just so ticked off after reloading several times and it still telling me there was work to be done, when there was none I just up and leave without a bonus at all! and that is not fair to me(or others who have to do it)

It would be much better for those who prefer to hire more than one person to not hire all the people for the exact same job - especially when the farm is a 12x12 - don't need 7 people to harvest/plow even with my slow internet I can get that done in a minute, I alone can get 34 full to the brim all jobs(meaning harvest/plow, chop trees, shake trees, harvest flowers, and fish stacked/staggered waters of 100 plus on each farm) done in about 30 minutes and I have the slowest internet known to man - it's a a step up from dial up (I'm not kidding! and it's broad band high speed at that!) so if one insists on hiring multiple people hire one to harvest and plow, one to chop, one to shake trees, one to do flowers, one to fish This way everyone gets a job, everyone gets bonuses without issues, and frustrations, and no one can be a scab and steal all the work from others. The game has made me "Chop" tree STUMPS because it's all that showed b/c a scab took them all, but it refused to show it was a complete job, every time I reloaded there were only tree stumps, I had to click them - wasting my fuel and time, to get a tiny bit of coins and like 4 xp


As for those in the Market place begging non stop I am convinced they are using hacking software to play the game! I can't prove it of course, but I've played long enough and several other similar games, to know a "Bot" when I see one They set the program to do specific things, and it works the game when they're no where near the game !
