This happened a few nights ago, there were two of us harvesting with the option to plow. There were lots of different kinds of crops, all planted in nice straight little rows. So, I started going systematically down the row of one of the least profitable crops and leaving the better stuff for the other person.

Well, that other person must have been on something because he/she was bouncing all over the placed harvesting whatever was in the way. There were little empty squares all over the place. That was okay until they got in my row and I let that person know I thought he/she was very rude. I think I got my point across because he/she apologized very nicely and said to leave all the plowing for me.. then left. I sometimes wonder if they don't know that's rude?

As a rule, I too hire one person at a time, however, this morning I had a huge amount of harvesting and the person I hired was incredible slow. Methodical, but slow. It would have taken half an hour to finish harvesting and plowing so I did bring in a second person. I could not get the first person t hide trees either and there were lots of crops hidden.

On that screen that comes up when you go to the market place - you can just close it and not have to pick an option from the menu. I would like to see that changed so those who are hiring would have to click that option and they would not show up in the market place. I go through half a dozen people who aren't there to be hired, but there to hire. Not having them in there would save a lot of frustration.
I have two particular neighbours - both from the same country - who have told me that their 'scattergun' approach to harvesting and plowing is a deliberate ploy which makes many fellow workers leave the farm and thereby leaving the whole farm for them to work on by themselves. When I mentioned to them that I felt it was very rude, they explained that to them it is a legitimate 'game tactic'. Needless to say they don't do it to me anymore, but I know that they both still do it.
