A thought ... can't the devs or mods start a POLL thread? where we each get one vote and can vote for the Dec 22 update or reversion back to the previous stage?

Please provide some feedback about this other alternative on this thread, or if you rather prefer the way it was before, unlimited hiring, faster work but more potential for collisions and lost coins/XP.

thanks

YES YES a very good idea

I like the old way MUCH better!!!
I have never experienced the loss of coins or XP that I have seen others complain about . . . but the current way and the "Wait . . . I'm busy" is almost more than I can handle.
I like the enhanced size of the harvesting tool as well.

Thanks for the reversion!! I just came back from a hire on a 24x24 farm 2. Like me, she was over a half mil in exp points. I speed harvested the whole farm, and plowed it all in about 10 minutes, and we had a very nice chat. First time I've "buddied" someone in 6 months!! Happy Campin' Farmer Jon...

This is the first time that I have really enjoyed plowing and harvesting and I DID NOT lose any coins or XP... They kept right up with me. Have your testers go out there and let them work for a day and see what they have to say, but please do not change anything today. The ones that are wanting you to change are the ones that like to cut you off and try to keep you from harvesting and plowing.

Use your testers frist before you change that is all I ask. And you will see why people are happy that you made the change.
How wrong of you to assume that those that want it back are rude.
And those that comment are whinning!!
Im not rude in the least bit nor am I whinning..
but Ive not time to do a job one plot at
a time especially if the farm is really really large! Until its goes back
to old way I cant take jobs..
its just so slow and I am doing all my own harvesting and plowing.
If you plow or harvest your own farm..its still the old EFFICIENT way.
Its so ridiculous slow Its so not faster MsEbonique

Is it "early tomorrow" yet for the developers?
I wish it was and the game will go back to not having
to do ONE plot at time..I no longer can give or take jobs
like this.

Hiya, I really would prefer the old method with being able to hire as we did previously...my friends and I do "harvest parties" where we meet online at a certain time and each hire the others (usually we are 3 or 4 people) to divide up the work at each farm. It went fast, was smoothly because we all knew who was doing what, if someone accidentally clicked the wrong square it wasn't a tragedy hehe, and we got to have some fun chatter while we were queued up for harvesting or plowing. One night of frustration last night was enough to drive all of us to quit, shocking and devastating, so I sincerely hope that a return to the old efficient way is what we can now expect. Thank you!!!!

Why not limit the number of hires on each farm to 2 or three. That way the people who overhire for their own amusement won't be able to wreck the game for the people who love to play!

same here, i love the new upgrade, but its too faulty......
i stand on one farm for 10-20 mins(sometimes longer depending on farmsize) waiting for the coins to add up or just waiting to get no points at all as nearly every plot shows ALREADY DONE.....why do i have to stick around(20mins +) and wait sooo long, just to get nothing . the old way was at least reliable in some way. Basically I'm working for nothing at he moment so i dont take jobs anymore either. I like this upgrade really i do, but only if it would work the way it is suppose to.


And I very much like the idea of 1 harvester and 1 plower max hire.
