Thanks for the good advice about going offline while selling.

My pet peeve is people who spam the marketplace with long, repetitive lines of pleas for work. I click on them and ignore and that solves that problem. (Like: PLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW) Happy farming everyone!

That's usually when I will tell them to get a grip.

I agree totally. I have had four extra people show up to plow when none answered my hire request. I wonder if I could have ignored them or would they have been able to continue plowing.

I like to talk to people in the market place when it gets boring. Usually no one responds so sometimes I make tongue in cheek comments which usually pisses people off. Acouple times when I asked for a plowing job only (since I already have 7million coins) some one make snotty remarks.

Another time I mentioned it looked like the beggars were here and really got blasted for that. Oh, well. It is just a game and as long as no one is vulgar or rude I like to stir up things a little--but never in a mean or belittling way. People are weird.

I try to say please and thank you. I usually get your welcome or no problem. Yet there are farmers who say neither when thank you is said. So it can go both ways.

I normally find most people are really polite and friendly, or I did till this morning (must be a Sunday thing!)... You'd think that for 20 lines of begging for a job, someone would appreciate a 32x32 field of lettuces to harvest and plow all by themselves... took me 4 hires to get the job done in the end!

i have the hardest time getting anyone to plow anymore. Either they only want to harvest or they show up and then do 3 or 4 plots and leave. Maybe if there were more rewards for plowing it would be easier to find people that want to do it? Any suggestions?

It is not that it is the glitch in the game that won't let us plow. I can't even plow my own farm.

When I look for work I ask for solo. I hate running around fighting for spots with three or more other plowers. Most of the time this request is ignored. So mostly I buddy up and people ask me to work privately.

i only ever 'use' one person and then offer them the plow if i am satisfied with the work lol .... i even had one person do all 3 farms lol

i used to go to the market but trying to find someone that dont beg/spam was getting hard as was someone who could say 'work please' i was in the market for nearly an hour one day (had rasps due) was hiring and no response (even flitted back and forth to check they hadnt 'turned up') in the end i said (not polite either) does anyone want to harvest a large rasp farm or do i have to do it myself?' in the end i did it myself
