what i have been running into in the market is hiring level 60 farmers i offer them to plow (dont pay attention to the level untill they respond with this) "thank you for the work i appreciate it but i am level 60 and do not need the exp please offer to someone who needs it" not complaining about it i dont mind returning to the market to find someone else just stating my experiance in the market

I'm sorry, I never said it was a "right". I do get hired to harvest and never turn one down. I always ask politely and, whether or not I get a reply, I thank the farmer, bid a good day and leave. I know no one is required to rehire and I respect that. My only problem with it is that they don't even have the decency to say "no". It just isn't right for me or anyone else to be penalized in that way because of our status. I do thank you for your reply and I'm hoping your problem finds a resolution as well as mine.

I'm one of the many that don't say no. One is that I don't sit around on my farm and watch people harvest. The reason I hire people is so I can go about and live my life and come back and have the farm harvest. Half the time I'm not even by my computer after I hire someone to harvest. I don't respond to those in game private messages either because I find them a tad nagging. If I was able to and wanted to hire someone to plow I would have. I don't need to be nagged about it. And I'm not going to respond back an hour or two later when I get around to my farm again well after those people have left.

I used to feel the same way about the messages asking to plow until I found something out and then I find one message left by someone okay because of what I now know. If you have 2 farms when you hire someone they can not see the other farm they only have access to the farm you hired them to harvest. Because of that I can understand leaving one message saying nicely that the harvesting is done do you need help plowing. The reason I feel this way is the farmer could be on the other farm and by leaving the message you let them know you are done and willing to help if they want. Then if the farmer is on the other farm they can pop over and hire them to plow if they choose. So I now understand leaving one message but the ones that leave several with them getting nastier as they go that is a different story.
