Is there any news about that ? I think it would be a great New Year Gift for the player to introduce this "undo" option....
Thx for keeping us up to date.
i would buy gold if it was not so easy to lose on stuff....if there was on off switch or an are u shure u want to use gold swith like there is are u certain u want to demolish button would be fantastic
I swore up and down when I first tried this game I would not spend real money on it.
Well... you all won. I'm an addict. I have three farms, joined two wonderful coops, started a third and all are doing well.
I have spent gold on all three farms. And I would not mind at all when I have a few extra bucks charging up my gold stash so when it's needed, it would be there.
Your current offer of adding gold to the coop too is great. I'd LOVE to take you up on that three times.
However!!!!!!
There are FAIR too many little sneaky traps in this game to part people with their gold usually by accident.
ie;
When I was new here, I planted a whole bunch of special seeds before I realized I wiped out my gold doing that. I've since been more careful.
Until this event. When I brain farted that idea that those cost money and planted about six fields of the darn beans only to realize, too late, that I just blew 100 in gold for each one.
Not long before that I was updating a house. Totally by accident I clicked my mouse too close to the little window and BOOM. Gold blown to upgrade a stupid house. NOT what I intended to do at all. And it's gone. Poof gone.
Right in these forums have been many complaints about how easy it is to accidently piss away gold. Until this is dealt with, I will NOT be buying any more than I may need immediately. And then only as much as needed. Nothing more.
Now...
It's not far to complain and not offer an idea. So here goes. This should not be that difficult to do.
Put a little lock on the gold icon right up on top. Locking your gold. So IF someone goes to do something that will use gold, a prompt will appear saying you need to first unlock your gold to do this....
Problem solved. I'd be happy to charge up all three of my farms if I knew it couldn't be accidently blown.
I'd bet I'm not alone on this point.
Perhaps some future update? At least consider it.
Thank you.
Please consider putting a lock on the gold, so you have to agree to spend it.
Please do something about the gold. Or at least put a simple question: "Do you really want to spend ... gold, to do this action?"
However, what about the missions and the gold users. They would not be impressed if they had to unlock the gold for EVERY gold use. And before you shoot me down, it is not cheating to use gold in the missions, so yes the gold users need to be considered too.
So you could have a lock on the gold that you unlocked to use the gold and then had to manually relock it rather than a unlock for every gold use.
Either way I will pass on the suggestion.
Hi Latten,
I understand that you want to make money, and I don't mind spending it, but not if it is going to be wasted.
The question is, do you want to be seen as a games company that tricks people into having to spend money, or one that allows people to make informed choices about how they spend their money.
If the game is good enough then people will choose to spend their money on it. This is a simple change to the interface to prevent people from accidentally spending gold. I can't see how it would deter people from spending money. In fact more people would probably buy gold if they knew they could safeguard it from accidental spending. It is far too easy to do, especially if you are playing on a laptop without touch pad instead of a mouse.
If you are concerned that it will have an negative impact on those who spend a lot of money then why don't you ask them? You know who they are. If your percentages of heavy gold purchasers are anything like other free to play online and social media games then they make up about 10% of your users overall. How empty would your servers look if all of us who can't afford to spend a lot of money on the game weren't there?
It is way too easy to accidentally waste gold when we don't want to
Listen, and please do take this to the company.
The ease at which people can accidently lose money HAS ALREADY COSTED YOU!!!! At least as far as this customer is concerned.
When your last deal came along offering to contribute gold to any coops if you buy gold, I WOULD HAVE loved to stock up ALL THREE of my farms with a few thousand gold.
But I wont.
As long as there are a dozen or more ways to click the wrong place, or replant a field with special seeds that I am out of, or accidently upgrade something not meaning to...
Not going to happen. So this has already costed.....
Now maybe you misunderstood my proposal?
I am NOT suggesting a pop up appear each and every time someone tries to spend gold.
Just ONE lock. And by default that can be left UNlocked.
So the game will function just as it is now.
UNLESS.... a player CHOOSES to lock up their gold so it would be impossible to spend it without a simple prompt saying before you can do..... you must unlock your gold.
I can see why a player might want to leave it unlocked.
Missions for example.
I have already spent gold trying to keep up. Harvest faster to end up in a top spot. So I have already reached for my pay pal card to do this. It would be nice to have a little here, that I could unlock and use without an idiot screen asking me each and every time "are you sure?"
BUT....
When I'm just playing, and do not want to waste it on a stupid misplaced mouse click, I could click a single little padlock icon and only then would get a warning to unlock gold before it can be spent.
THIS WOULD MAKE YOU MONEY not lose it. I'd be much more inclined to charge up my farms so when it's needed, it would be there. And if a little bit is here, easy to use, Id' be far more likely to spend more than I do.
Right now? No way. If some item comes along I really want to buy, I'll buy only what I have to in order to get it.
Can't lose what I don't deposit.
Then again, if something comes along that isn't really all that big on my try it list, I let it go. Not worth the trouble to get my card, go through the whole process of charging something, yada yada.
So please rethink this. Judging from the replies so far, it's something most people would applaud.
In fact, I don't see anyone saying no, bad idea here.
Don't you do any sort of beta testing? Try a small sampling of volunteer users and give it a try.
So Latten, your argument is pretty ridiculous, you might want to think that through one more time. You don't stop people from spending money, you allow them to spend it on something they WANT to spend it on. In the end it's a win-win for everyone, including your company.
This way your cash and gold will be safe to save for those items you really want - it is also true to real life where many people have a separate savings account to their normal account.
Theres been overwhelming lots of complaints about this issue, and this is the best suggestion ive seen yet to solve that. Lately ive hold back on the goldbuying because the game is getting more and more gold focused, and that takes a bit of the relaxed fun out of it. This idea with one tiny lock - are you a gold user right now or are you not - would probably make me buy more gold again.
Listen, I cannot stress this enough. I will NOT be putting gold into this game unless I specifically want to buy something. And then only enough to get it. Nothing more. I would put in more IF I could be sure it will only get spent where I want it to.
Admins, please send this upstairs. Seems it's a popular enough request. And since it involves real money I would think this is far more important than some request for a game graphic or some such thing.
At least give it a try and see. Either with a beta test group or game wide for a set period of time.
If tricking people out of their money with mistakes is really more profitable for you then fine. Remove the lock. But if not..... if it puts enough trust in the players to stock pile a bit of gold so when it's needed it's there, it would only be good for you and everyone else.
or is it just random ?

I thought the GG rule was that only one farm was permitted per player
I guess that answers my question why so many players i noticed have 3 or more farms , like the top 3 in the rankings. Now no one will be able to get above 4th place in the rankings as that one player keeps her 3 farms at the top
