I ususally just leave. when i hire people i hire one person. and i let them do the whole farm and then go to the next farm with the same person. as long as they want to work i give them all they can do. I always start with my neighbors first. if there is no one on I go to my buddies. they have worked for me before and do a great job so i prefer to hire them. if no one is on then i go to the market. if i find a good person i add them to my buddy list for future work. One thing we do need is a fireing button to get rid of those that are less desirable to have working on your farm. they dont follow instructions, wont do as you ask, make rude comments to you, or just go all over the place and make a mess. we should be able to get rid of them and hire someone else.

I agree, some hire to many people at the one time for a smaller job, I understand hiring an amount for the amount of work being done. And I do the same with the buddy list as well.

And this is exactly why I harvest my own crops that are destined for facilities. I even do my own plowing. It's just too time-consuming to find someone from the MP. My neighbors are helpful... when they're online... but often it's simply faster to do the jobs myself.

I must admit I still go to the Market Place , without the MP it would have taken me a lot longer to get to the higher levels , I try and help people by giving out work if they want/need it.

As I stated above. Going to the market place for me to hire someone is a last resort. When I find someone that is good and does a good job for me I add them as a buddy. I find that I rarely have to go to the MP to get help. I have around 30 people on my buddy list someone is almost always on. This also helps them moving up as well.

And Again I repeat....We need a fire button to get rid of people who are screw ups.

I hire someone to harvest from the marketplace because no friend or buddy is online, we go to my farm I tell them "I have 5 farms for you to harvest" they harvest the first farm and then I get "thanks" and they leave!!!!!!!

Today I have hired 6 people to harvest and plow 5 farms, I even stated in the market place I had 5 farms to harvest solo and the first 2 people only harvested 1 farm thanked me and left!!!!!

You would love me to work for you then! Its hard to find someone who will allow you to harvest/plow and solo all their farms....Come to my farm and leave me a note and when I'm on I will add you as a buddy and you can call on me anytime!

[Hornyroo]

u know what i hate more? the ones who demand to work SOLO only.. when your trying to get 5 farms harvested, you want it done quick.. im thinking those greedy little suckers miss out on a lot of work, ir efuse to hire them.... or sometimes i hire them and watch themleave in a huff... idiots

[ghostkitten]

Oh I know how u feel.....Or you hire to harvest then plow and after harvesting you hire to plow and you get "no thanks"....To many ppl on top level who just want the crops and don't want the xps.....

[krbrown2000]

Not everyone has time to harvest and plow five farms. And sometimes other things happen. The phone rings...the baby wakes up...you never know, so I try to give people the benefit of the doubt.

I couldn't find anyone at all today, so did it myself. I got fed up asking. Usually the mornings in Aus are OK, especially on weekdays. But today.......
