I'm also kind of sick of people who think they are entitled to my entire farm when I hire them. I'll hire 2-3 people depending on the conditions in the market place. I don't have time to sit around and wait for people to respond. If I don't get a quick response there I move on to hiring the next person I see there which results in, sometimes, a lot of people hired. If you don't like it leave my farm and get hired at some one elses but don't tell me how many people to hire on my farm.

thank you for explaining how the multiple people hired tends to happen. it sure does help clear that up.

I understand why people want to h/p. It's one time across the farm if you have the combine and just h alone doesn't get xp. I don't like getting hired with others because we end up both doing the same work and one of us not getting credit if the processor is slow. If I do get hired with others I leave that farm. Each to his own.

Depends how many others. If someone's hired the whole market, I'm outta there. But where there's only one other person, and a lot of farms, I will continue working, but not on the same farm.

I am tired of people accepting a job for doing multiple chores and then only do one thing, such as harvest. Then they get mad at me if I hire someone to do everything they have left behind because they say it slows them down. I want a way to fire people.

Not sure where to ask this, but when did Experience Points go down from 30 to 1, when going to each neighbor and doing whatever task (like raking, watering, etc) pops up?

Hi Sonny4u2,
It is in the Game Guide chapter about Neighbors:
You earn 300 coins and 30 experience points (commonly referred to as XP) for each tending you do for a neighbour (watering, weeding or raking) in 24 hours. The limit if 100 tends per day. If you exceed this, then your experience points earned will reduce from 30XP to 1XP per visit.

I am not sure if it is ok to post my concern here. It is also about hiring but in my case posting work for neighbors. The Facebook version used to have the option "Game Friends" which is gone. Here, the new version, does not even show me my neighbors or where to post work for neighbors. Can you please help me to get this updated so I can participate with my neighbors again? thank you ~ Astrid

Hi Astrid,
If you want to make a suggestion then please post it in the Suggestions section not the General Feedback section.

No one should have to remind everyone that when you are being hired for jobs at the market please do what you've been asked to do. There's been a few complaints in the groups that they've hired someone asking to be hired for so and so and then NOT finishing the job, or doing half a job and then leaving.

If you want to be hired for the 1 job only and you get hired to do everything you do have the right NOT to accept it, but if you do accept it do everything you've been asked. Remember YOU are the one losing out if you don't complete all jobs as YOU WON'T get the bonus chest. BUT NOT finishing also hurts the owner of the farm, as they are helping you get the things you need and then you just leave without explanation as to why. It's not on. If you feel you won't have time to do 44 farms and all jobs, don't accept it. Really, it's not that hard.

For some people, the bonus chest doesn't bother them, but that bonus chest helps you get extra coins, extra XP and extra products so it is worth getting.
