I'm just thinking that ribbons and medals would have made more sense than belts and dans.

Overall, the Devs have always done a great job with the game. Sometimes it's frustrating when something gets broken, but they are always quick to fix it.

Yep. I agree with all of this. I hadn't really thought about the farming vs. fighting issue, but I HAD been looking at the seed thingies in the store the other day and thinking that the belts aren't real aesthetically pleasing. It's not easy to tell what they are at first, some of them almost overlap the picture of the crop and it all just sort of looks out of balance. I was looking through some icons today for a project I'm working on and ran across some award icons and thought, "Oh! These would look awesome where our belts are!" Nice diversion when I was supposed to be working.

Anyway,here's what I saw - they can come in as many different colors as you want. I like the ones with the stars best.

But yes, I agree with your last paragraph, too. Our devs - and this game - are the best thing out there.

I should be the same belt/dan status on both trees. both trees yeild the same amount of logs

What is needed to get a belt is determined by two things the time it takes to grow the crop and the level you get the crop at. The lower level stuff has lower requirements then the higher level stuff and the shorter time stuff has higher harvest requirements then the longer grow stuff. Pine is available at level 1 maple is available at level 80 that is why there is a difference in the harvest requirements for the two trees.

I know the devs have been busy and I can wait to get the belt requirements but I will be interested to see exactly what they are and if I can figure out their logic behind the numbers. I have been trying to keep track of what is needed as I harvest my own crops but sometimes I mess it up.
