I am afraid that button will not make you popular with those who are trying to level up so they can buy their tools and hire new players.

That is their choice, out of all of the posts against it. I won't be using the market place so I don't have to worry about it. I just wish I would have know this was going to happen, my neighbor could have saved hundreds of dollars purchasing the FC tools, this way they could have purchased facilities instead of tools.

Totally agree with you

You don't want people to use your fake tools..don't hire anyone..simple as that.That will teach those newbies.I mean,we do not want them gaining levels and beating us at this game do we?We worked hard to get that farming trophy...and I will be darned if some new guy/gal can come in and get one to...because I spent real money on fake things.I also spent real money on FC facilities...I should make sure that they can not get into those as well when I ask for help with my fac's.
Now if you excuse me..I need to go sit over my farm kingdom and laugh at the serfs as they plow 1x1 squares...as is only right.

That's hilarious and very well said.

Thank you for that, had a good laugh. You have a great sense of humor and attitude . I don't know why people are so annoyed, I have played since day dot and am so happy we can now share what we have got. It helps us ALL in the end, why be so greedy?

In future releases we will show only the tools available for use, owned by you or your employer.

How do you use your employers tools? My employers green boat wasn't accessible to me. It was in their storage.

Open the expanded tool box to use the tools. And the tools HAVE to be in their storage to be available and not on their farms.

This is a good social experiment,the fact hiring workers and them using your tools does not hurt or take from the 'owner' and yet so many are acting like it's taking money out their pocket. We buy tools to help ourselves, hiring a worker who has no tools and letting them use ours is a super idea.. they pay the fuel ,we get the work done and there is no wear and tear on the tools..they don't need maintenance..
If anyone wants to take their bat and ball (tools) and hide them..fine ..Only hire those with tools or here is a good idea. Do all the work yourself with the precious tools.

This would be funny if it didn't say a lot about human nature!

Is there anything I as an employer need to do for others to use my tools? I have had employees say that the combo isn't available for them. Just curious if it is something I am doing wrong.

To chime in on the other comments regarding the tools. I have been playing since the very beginning myself. I think it is a GOOD idea to give them tools. Often, I have such trouble hiring for my farms because they just don't have the tools to do it. Although yes, I paid real money for them, I think it is a good way to keep people interested in the game and not just quit because they can't get a job. playing since around April 2009 almost every day - a bit addicted ;-)

I don't mind sharing my tools but not my fuel. I think the worker should have to use their own fuel for it.
