In defense of those without the fancy tools
I have been away from FT for nearly 3 years and was level 145 upon my return. Alot has changed with the game - one being all the "tools" one is able to purchase and for the most part all with real cash. Now I'm not rich and play the game for entertainment, but I found immediately that when you have no tools, no one wants you to work for them. Only people working are the ones with superboat, mega harvesters/plowers and when I get hired not saying solo, then upon arrival to "clicks" and even one other person can harvest the entire farm before I even get 20 plots for credit. Glad they have all the fancy equipment, but sure makes disadvantage for beginning players to compete. Just saying.........So my strategy is to ask for players below a certain level to hire to give them an extra chance to compete in the hiring market.

Need to make improvements
I have lost a LOT of my neighbors who have just up and quit farming. When I message them to find out the reasons, most of the time they say they can never find hires who won't quit after one field or won't start at all if the crop is not a 3-4 day crop. Then you have those same "quitters" at the market place complaining they have no work. Big suprise. It has gotten to the point that many just quit playing because trying to farm 19 fields, pick trees and flowers and load your factories take too many hours at night.
There needs to be more info posted....things like the job is for "x" number of fields, and how many are layered. It is hard to blame someone with no tools for not finishing 10 fields that are layered. Until there is some MAJOR tweaks to the hiring process, this is going to be a problem. When I see more than 70% of my neighbors not active I know there is a problem somewhere. And I have kept adding new neighbors. All to no avail. |

I don't have tools and I make that known in my status so if I am hired for 19 farms and most of them layered I would probably have to work for 19 hrs or longer to finish as it takes me 45 min's to an hour to do one farm particularly if I am asked to do harvesting, plowing, chopping of everything on the farm. It is impossible for one person to do. I usually do one farm, two farms if I have time and then leave a note that it is impossible for me to finish such a large job.It would be nice to know how many farms you are being hired for before you accept the job.

It is difficult for a farmer with no tools to do many farms. I have 4 x 4 tools and will not take a job unless my name is posted as small jobs only.
If a farmer is noted as no tools, I will designate only a few farms to be done and hire someone else to do a few farms also. It is frustrating for me to have to keep careful watch on the progress of a worker and hire others when they leave without sending me a message. It is difficult to determine when someone has left. A notification of how large the job is would be helpful to a prospective worker. |

I agree. I have had to leave many jobs because they were too much. I state in my status that I don't have tools and I still get jobs for 19 layered farms which would take me about an 45 mins to an hour a farm. I don't have 16-19 hrs a day to spend on a computer game. We definitely need a way to know the size of the job before we accept it. It would also be nice to know what people are willing to do before you hire them. It is so hard to get people to harvest/chop trees and flowers. I sent requests to 5 people who were asking for any job and every one turned my job down. I finally got one acceptance and he chopped 5 trees and left.

Do you use the option to hide everything except what can be worked with the tool that you are holding?
