Good luck with your cooperative.

However I do believe that you should be put in the same rankings, I dont believe a person who is level 21 should be put in a mission with someone who is level 42 who has double the amount of things they have, that is just completely unfair. They dont stand a chance of winning and in the beginning of the mission it states you will be put with people around your ranking.
Obviously someone with 5 plots can grow more then someone with 3 plots etc, they need to think about that.
So yeah, apart from the gold/no gold distinction, there should also be a production ability distinction or something made. Or make it apparent who your opponents are before the mission.
Also, those of us in on the American server cannot do missions when we are most likely to be online, between 1730 and 2200 our time. All of the missions start before 1730, and I don't know too many people my age who want to be up at 0100 just to play missons. The developers may get more people to play if they can play at times more comporable to their schedules.

As for using gold to skip to win - well I can not tell a lie. I did that yesterday-a real lot during one of two missions I did. Did I win? Yes. Problem was, winning didn't feel so great. I felt - well, terrible. Then I felt even worse when I looked and found that one of the challengers was a level 14. I remember level 14 it was tough.
I know what you are thinking. What right do I have to complain how I was treated in a mission by a lvl 84 player when I did the very same thing to a level 14! My thoughts exactly! So the only mission I will do now is the willflower one. I can't imagine that the high level players would find collecting willflowers very challenging - and using gold to skip for something that takes two minutes to grow seems pointless. So I won't be on the receiving end - nor will I run the risk of getting so wrapped up in winning to stomp on a lower level player.
As regards the gold things, rather than just an inclusive/exclusive thing, another approach could be to match the players who have approximately the same amount of gold in their account.
When I looked, there seemed to be quite a list of people competing...
Yes when I clicked on to start, only I showed up... I refreshed and saw that throughout this whole 4 hour ordeal, I'm slogging my butt off to create chicken feed and for what:
I (foolishly) assumed that the more I made, the higher my rewards would be... so for 4 HOURS I WENT HARD OUT !!! And for what??? It never changed...
Instead of 4 hours, I could have made 2 bags of chicken feed and left it at that and I would have received the same rewards.
That is not fair - moreso, how can these creators think that is at all FUN?!!!!!
Total false advertising... where does it say ANYWHERE how rewards are calculated... or any of that information?
If I had known, i would never have signed up for a 4 hour mission, for me to gain nothing but time wasted! I could have made just as much money by putting one bag of cow feed in the stable and coming back in the morning to sell it.
I AM SO ANGRY!
That is totally not fair - what can I do???
Upset, Ripped off, Time Waster

If having a certain number of rep points unlocked special decor or some such that might make some sense. Maybe it would help if rep was given some meaning or advantage such as this. Even a major quest to reach (say) 500 rep to give a good XP reward might give some motivation.
The MAIN point for me is that these missions are to INCREASE players' reputation points. Therefore, missions should be registered with dollars NOT rep points and EVERY player should be awarded SOME rep points depending on how well they did in relations to others in that mission. To me, this is the ONLY scenario that makes ANY sense.
And I agree - yes it does say "compared to other players" in the details - but its not our fault when they stick us in a mission group where there are no other players, then you have no choice but to get stuff all !!!! That is so unfair. I might be fine if there is a comparison against, or a differing top prize amount depending on how many are playing, but at least make it clear before you click "yes compete in this mission!!!" SO badly strung together!!!!
Another sad competitor.
Fairness is my game, and I just don't think we are being treated equally...
Too many rights for those up levels, and those who spend gold...
So, with the first option on the poll, you want to divide it into 2 types of people: those with 0 gold and those with 1+? Because if that's true, no offense, it's a very bad idea.
As for fixing the formula used to determine who gets matched up with who in regards to level/reputation points, that does need fixing.
Also, you always have to count in your point of view: If you check one mission as a whole (meaning: Every player worldwide who participates in one mission, every batch of participants worldwide in one mission, etc) the majority should have (!) little to no problems at all. The scale is very important here, if you're thinking "about a million users per mission" you might be on the right track, so while 200 people who have problems seem like a huge number for those actually affected by it, it's a very small number in the big picture.
For those who actually have problems, it's of course annoying, and we (that is, the dev team, in this case) know that and want to change it.
Please be assured that we are constantly working on it, and it will be addressed. I just can't say when exactly this will happen right now.
On a serious note, I don't think that a strict gold/non-gold category is going to be sufficient to fix this problem. If I buy $3 of gold once, why should I be remotely able to compete against someone who buys $60 gold a month? I think a proper balance would have to consider not just gold/non-gold, but also things like gold buying frequency, level, production capacity and so on.
Update: as I was writing this #1 person now produced 2,000 more eggs so now they have 10x more eggs than I do. Yep, laughably broken.
