New Release -- November 12th, 2010

[Elvina]

I have my own solution for what I see as a problem with the big rigs. It doesn't really affect me. I am level 160, have seven farms and seldom work from the marketplace. The people it affects the most are those just starting out who are deciding if they like the game. If they become discouraged they will quit, which will have a negative impact on the income of the developers if it happens frequently enough. They need to keep that DAU high to attract advertisers.

When I hire (and if I am in a hurry, I harvest and plow my own with my 3x3 equipment) I am doing it to help people advance in the game. I ask if there is anyone in the marketplace with the big tools. Anyone that answers to the affirmative gets put on ignore. Then I hire someone else. If someone gets to my farm and uses a big tool, I put them on ignore so I won't hire them again.

Yes, they have purchased the right to use those tools on others farms. However, I am not obligated to hire them. If enough of us did this, it would restore equity.

Just my personal solution.
