Because I can, because I want too, because it is my farm and I will hire as many as I like. I do not like it when people ask for or expect solo work I think it is very greedy of them. I have 3 crop farms that have almost 1000 fields on them if 2 people can't share then they don't need to be working for me. I will never hire someone in the mp asking for solo work I do not care the reason why they are asking.

I know this has happened to me before, I will click on someone to hire them, wait for a reply, if there is no reply in say 10 seconds i will try to hire another worker, they take the job, in the mean time the first worker returns to the computer, notices there is a request to ork and clicks yes, and then I have two workers now,
Now while I see your point I think only waiting 10 seconds is a little to fast, you need to give people a fighting chance to respond to you they don't need to be sitting mouse in hand ready to jump at a request when it comes up. This is a farming game not a game of who can click the fastest.

If there was different markets how do you keep the 1x1 out of the other markets. Now lets say you can do that, do you really think people will go to the 1x1 market or even the 4x4 market to hire people. I don't they will all go to the 5x5 and hop to get a combine person to make the work even quicker.

I don't think for a minute 1x1's should have their own market or anyone else for that matter. I was a 1x1 once and I know how it feels to have a 4x4 come barreling into a farm and take everything. Now that I have a 4x4 I want to be fair. I don't mind sharing at all. And of course you have the right to hire as many workers as you want. I'm only stating my opinion from a worker's point of view. Happy Farming everyone!

I have hired workers where I do not see a response from 1 of them so I end up with more than 1. If I have more work of the same type on another farm I will rehire the second person for that.

On another note, I now work 4x & 5x depending on how I am hired but I still can and do work 1x.

Just as in real life some people singe using the 8 note scale ( Do, Ri, Me ect. ) while others only no 2 notes which are Do Mi. Not only do they sing that way but they think that way, everything is for them (me me me me )

I have been working at 4 or 5x when someone else starts 1x and I will either say I will only do half or drop into 1x mode, depending on how much time I have or if I can get a chat going .

I have been working with others at 1x, working is a corner by myself when some with the tools comes in and just rips through everything.

There is a 2 note person. but I remember what goes around comes around and the best saying of all is the will in the end get what they deserve.

It is a bata game that we are all working the bugs out, we should enjoy playing the game. and just like in real life there are people that look and act like a jack ***.

I do the same thing but with one difference. When I say I'm leaving the rest for them, if there is no "thank you" I take it all. I believe in giving everyone a chance to be polite.

I hope you realize that some people play in full screen mode and cannot see chat. Just because someone does not respond to you does not mean they are being rude.

I'll tell you why I end up hiring two workers even though I attempt to NEVER hire more than one.

I'll click on a person to work and get no reply at all. I will then go back to my farm, wait several seconds, and then go back to the market to hire someone else.

I'll hire this person, go 'with them' to my farm and without fail, the other person shows up. They never answered my hiring request and I never agreed to hire them yet they WILL be there. WHY??? Who knows...

I've emailed the game people about this and have never received any answer. Then I have to apoligize to my workers for having to much help.

Oh wellll,
Jim

At some point everyone was a 1X1. I like the 4X and 5X as much as anyone but almost always hire the 1X1.
Why??
Because there is really no major hurry. I can do any catch-up that needs doing, go to the market and sell, fish, do my trees or even switch to Farmville and work until the person is ready to plow.
And the 1X1 person won't become a 4x4 unless they get a chance to work.

My 2 cents on working solo. I work solo only because if there are others working on a farm it lags so badly that I can hardly move. It's not greed. I'm happy with my level, coins, inventory, etc. Why does it lag? Who knows? Could be the game (it's ALWAYS worse when they come out with upgrades or new items), could be my computer, could be a combination. Whatever the reason for the lag, that lag is the reason I work solo.

I also wish we had the "fire" option. I once had a girl working 1x1 on a large farm of nothing but crops. After about 50 she stopped. I waited awhile then asked if she was still there. No reply. Refreshed the game and she was still standing there so I sent her a note. She replied that she was on the phone and would finish soon. I left the farm, hired for other farms, etc. Went and took a shower. Total time elapsed = about 45 minutes. She was still in the same place. So I went and hired someone else to finish the job and she immediately sent me a nasty note saying she planned on finishing when she was done on the phone. (I won't give you the details of her word choices). So she could type, but not click the mouse while talking on the phone???
I've had other bad experiences, but that was the worst.

Some things to try to help the lag. First turn off the floating xps and coins, you will not believe how much that alone will help you out. Second go to this link http://www.macromedia.com/support/do...manager07.html
and do two things. First set the limit to a higher limit, I have mine on 10mb. Second clear out your farm town data either by deleting all sites or looking for chn,slashkey.com and deleting that one. Deleting all will not hurt anything it will just make all websites that use flash get fresh data on the next load. Third thing to try is a different browser, I use Fire fox and chrome with no problems, I left IE behind long ago.

A fire button is a very bad idea. In this case it would be a case where it should be used but it would be very abused by others. When she said she was on the phone I would have hired someone else to finish the job I wouldn't have waited 45 minutes. I have hired people that have the 4x4 and they will click the mouse then wait a minute and click again, then wait a minute and click again. While I do not expect people to finish in 2 seconds and don't even mind waiting on a 1x1 to do the job, they need to be working at a reasonable speed. If they are being very slow I go hire someone else to finish the job.
