Matching Adjustments

I really love this game, but seriously, something needs to be done about the unfair matching/pairing of players in missions and events like No Pain No Gain. I'm the founder of a level 11 cooperative and I am literally the only one of 7 players seriously participating in the Co-op Challenge. I have over 80 percent of the team's 797000 rep points, and two of the players have not participated at all! (believe me I have tried to find daily players for months and every time I accept an application, I end up removing the person a week later, after zero participation.)

Getting back to the point, I am really struggling to get points for the co-op and cannot win or place well in a mission unless it's wildflowers, and even then I end up being passed up by thousands of crops no matter how many I plant. I have even bought gold to try to get better productions for the missions, but I am always in last place, well behind players that are between 40 and 80 levels higher than me. As far as I'm concerned it's totally unfair to group a level 50 player with someone well past level 100, but that happens for almost every mission I join. I cannot get one quarter of the amount of dung other players get, even if I use gold to speed up the production or seaweed. I don't even come close to any person in the list, and with eggs it's pretty much the same thing. I've looked on these people's farms and they have 6 and 7 cow sheds way higher than mine, and multiple ducks, and high level chicken coops. I have leveled library books for wildflowers, corn, chickens, cows, ducks, and goats, and I am still being knocked down to last place no matter what I do.

I am posting here now not because I'm trying to complain or have issues with losing. I don't care about losses. I just want to be able to get somewhere in the game, and not being able to succeed due, in part, to unfair grouping is extremely frustrating. I should not have to spend huge amounts of real money or use up all my prizes on one mission just to get something better than last place.

Like I said, I really love this game, but it's getting to the point where it's no longer fun. Please consider grouping players with people who are closer to their own levels and progression.

I agree completely! Especially the part about getting good coop members.

I do have a few good ones, but their jobs are sometimes conflicting. I don't mind having players with limited playing times as long as they at least let me know what's going on if they're not going to be on for several days. I guess I just got tired of players requesting to join and then never returning to their own farm. It happened with the last seven people I added. lol

I hear you. We have 3, out of 9, missing for more than 7 days right now. They get their points and you never see them again.

A lot of my people have asked to join and never returned to their own farms! LOL I mean why bother applying if you're just going to quit the game the same day?
