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.

Mokie Level 100 4 farms 2,000,000+ XP and counting.

I hear ya there! I have contacted the Dev's meany times over about both the Market time lag, the plowing problem, and another one; the Planting problem -(where some background activity occurs and LATCHES up your mouse cursor and DOES NOT release it.) But on the Market time lag, for a while there it really got bad.. With 3 computers in this household and a shared Broadband High Speed.. we managed many times to go to market and attempted to hire each other, (stopwatch in hand) Many times it took the Slashkey servers up to FIVE MINUTS to relay the requests.. Who can actually hire anyone that way? Bu the time your request has been relayed by the servers, someone else had already hired them.

I thought I was the only one! Yes, they are rude. I always answer by clicking on either choice. Unless I have another problem with my computer, I'm thanking them for the job. What gets me upset is that when I hire someone, they quit for something better. There ought to be a rating system on how well we like our "hired help".

Im telling you we are not all being rude. My computor lets me do half the job then the time out comes up and says you must refresh well when you do that you are gone..................it sends you home. I cannot plow on others I cant even plow my own farm and your gripping? I have not been able to plow plant or harvest since the 4th of July and nobody seems to have any answers. So dont think I leave for something better it is because the game is NOT working right and you have no choice. I cannot plow more than 4 to 8 squares and it wont let me do anymore. Im just about ready to thrown in the towel. It has taken me sinse the 4th to plow my farm one square every once in awhile.

On the issue of people saying please and thank you...Yes, people should always be polite, however, remember that many people are in full screen mode when they are working their farms and cannot reply. I have often had people say thank you as they are leaving from plowing and I have not responded because I am in full screen mode and planting. By the time I drop out of full screen to then type a reply they would be gone. I have only run into one truly rude person in the months and months that I have been playing - I ignored her and presumed that she had not been raised properly.

Can we PLEASE have a fire tool. In the last few days I've hired people to plow. Obiviously this job is beyound their capabilites.

They do one square here, one square there. Two squares together. Two more at the other end of the farm. Two more in the middle of the farm.

It takes forever for them to plow, and I can't plant crops until they are done as I usually have three or four different crops going at the same time.

Please please please give me a tool to fire these people...........they are driving me crazy.

Sorry to tell ya this but it won't ever happen, ppl would abuse the priviledge....I don't even hire anymore as I only plant what I use in my facilities and I plow myself, it's quicker and saves alot of headaches...

I worked with one of those last night while harvesting then the guy turned right around and hired him to plow, and I typed what I was thinking.
