As I said, if Marowit cannot tell you answers that you want, no one here will be able to either, no matter how many times you ask, if we could, we would have done so by now.
I am not threatening to disrupt the forum. Please do not misstate my intentions.
Also, you can say more. You have devised a formula, which you claim works. But no one knows if it does actually work, because it is a secret. GGS said he should be coming more often, not me. That came from you all.
Your formula is failing in some way. If you cannot state that, then I must assume that GGS has decided to punish me, purposefully, as an individual. I must assume that you all are mad at me and are punishing me. There is no other logical explanation for this.
If you look at any of my posts, I hardly ever criticize GGS unless it has introduced an unfair element in the game or unless disrupted the previous flow of the game. At the moment that you all address the Lester problem, I will be happy to acknowledge that.
But you cannot state with certainty that there is no flaw in your formula. And you keep stating that Marowit has provided a sufficient answer. He/she has not. If the formula actually works properly, then I can be given a better answer without divulging everything.
You are charging me more money for gold than other players and this is wrong.
You are charging me a higher price than other players and I should be concerned by this.

I do not know GGS secred formula, but using some common sence and logic, one can come to this very simple conlcusion:
1. GGS wants to sell gold.
2. If players are prepeared to pay the higher price (without discounts, Lester, deals), GGS will sell it for the higher price
3. If this does not work, GGS will give discounts to those that did not buy gold, to lurke them into buying some.
So, the conclusion; if you buy gold on regular basis, do not expect Lester to come to visit you.
The question is: how long are you prepeared to wait before buying gold? Can you sustain yourself from using gold if it runs out or even if it does not run out? Here is where secret formula comes into the play. GGS probably has a good analysis in custom habits and nows "ideal" time to wait to maximize the number of buyers that are not patient enough and buy gold beforehand on one side and the number of patients buyers that buy only when Lester is around on the othe side.
Seemingly you drop into the first category. So if you want to see Lester come frequently to your farm, you have to be patient and sustain yourself from buying (and using - mind you, this may also be the part of the formula) gold for some time. The question is: how long are you prepeared to wait?
I agree that perhaps GGS intends for the frequency to be a factor, but evidence proves that it is not.
I have done a lot of research.
Their formula seems to be failing to work. That is the only reasonable option left.
I am very disturbed by the fact that every time that I bring this up, they start deleting my posts and trying to cover-up my concerns.
I am just trying to live in the world that GGS created. GGS stated that his visits would average every 51 days. I never came up with that number. I understand (and it would be acceptable), if randomness caused this to be 60, 70, or some rational number of days, but we are at over 300 days now.
Is the formula designed in such a way, that an extremely active farmer might never get Lester?
I really don't understand your fixation with Lester... he does not save you money buying gold... you do not get it cheaper... go for the 2 for 1 deals that pop up... much better deal.
You are not paying more for gold by not getting Lester... you need to have gold on hand or buy gold when he shows up... and spend your gold to get your gold back... Last time he visited me (and hopefully never comes back) he wanted me to spend 700K gold in 24 hours and then give that back to me. BUT, I would have had to buy gold at prevailing rates to do this deal...
@gavinfarms (US1) it is a waste of your time in my humble opinion!!
Look at it like this:
If you go to an arcade, they have a deal, "Buy $10 worth of tokens, get $10 worth of tokens free!" - That's the standard 2-for-1 deal.
But the arcade across the street has a deal, "Buy $10 worth of tokens, get $1,000 worth of tokens free! (but you have to use them all in ONE DAY).. That's more along the lines of a Lester type deal.
If you use the gold right, spending it on stuff that you can ONLY use gold on (like upgrading the doghouse, buying/upgrading water towers, upgrading the nursery, upgrading the greenhouse, etc.) then you essentially get all those purchases & upgrades "for free". You might be able to get 100,000 gold worth of upgrades, but only have to "buy" $20 worth of gold (cuz face it, Lester almost always makes you buy SOME gold to use his deal).
Once you know how much Lester wants you to spend, and how much you would need to buy, you can calculate it out as to whether it's a better than a 2-for-1 deal (which it probably always is, so long as you spend the required amount of gold in time).
Personally, I haven't seen Lester in probably a year, but I don't really care. I'm happy with the occasional 2-for-1 deals when I need gold, although I certainly wouldn't turn Lester down if he decided to visit me someday.
lester is still the best....that's why they don't wanna give out the formula on how to trigger lester...:)
There is said he comes and goes as he pleases but he all ways skips my farm and from some coop members.
[Resolved]
I do exactly the same thing - do the customers 10x and cash the $$ he gives me for the effort, but never do the gold - just like Uncle John describes. By leaving Lester standing idle on my farm, I would deny myself the $$ bonus and I don't want to miss out on anything that provides me money
