I'm tired of going to the market place and being bombarbed with unsolicited hire requests as soon as i enter the market place.

I'm tired of trying to hire farmers and receiving unsolicited hire requests.

I'm tired of going to the market place, running to a corner of the market place to avoid "a-hole hirers" and still receiving unsolicited hire requests. The barstools deliberately do it.

I'm tired of not being able to ignore "a-hole hirers" because they are too quick. They spam the market place with hire requests, then get as many as they can, then they leave.

Solution 1:
The solution to the problem is so simple it begs the question "WHY havent the developers implemented it".

Process-
- farmer clicks map, selects market place
- popup is displayed, farmer is displayed with the following options:
- I want to hire (farmer selects and enters market place)
- i want to work (farmer selects and is presented with a popup containing the following options)
-- I want to harvest Crops and Trees
-- I want to harvest Crops and flowers
-- I want to harvest crops
-- I want to plow
-- I want to fish

The farmers that want to hire enter the market place with a 'H' (for identification purposes) on over either their head or overalls.

The farmers that want work enter the market place with either a symbol/image or letter of which work they want. ie a plower will have a letter 'P' or a image of a plow over their head or on their overall.

A few exceptions wrapped around it, ie a hirer cant be hired, etc.
I love your suggestion. I really hope it can be added to the marketplace as I get tired contending with getting asked to do a farm when I'm there to hire people to harvest and plow my fields and pick my trees and fish for me. I had to deny one and edit my message that I was posting to include I am not here to get jobs, I'm here to hire people. I need harvesters/plowers, tree shakers, flower harvesters and fishing people for 13 farms. Anyone interested?

And I end up getting about twenty people wanting to help, out of those twenty, I get only about five people as the rest were hired underneath me by other people. And it was clear to everyone that they asked to be hired by me, not anyone else.
