    ANNOYING AS ...... Get rid of the stupid gold pop-ups--it's getting RIDICULOUS. Or make them optional, like other posts have suggested. I have to keep moving the whole screen around in order to complete tasks at the top of it.

    Offer a "prime membership" for a smallish monthly fee, no more than $10/month. Those who purchase it would see no ads and receive deep discounts on gold purchases.

    I LOVE this idea EricaJ. I would definitely pay a monthly fee.
  • I played World of Warcraft (WoW) for over 8 years for the crafting, farming and pet aspect of it. I gladly paid a monthly subscription fee. I left WoW because they are moving more toward PvP and group dungeons, which I don't enjoy. Another WoW friend found this game a few months ago so I tried it. It's a good game but I agree that the push for gold is Very annoying. I stick with a game for a long time and would gladly pay a monthly subscription fee with a small amount of gold attached to get rid of these ads. But I won't buy gold any other way - especially if the hounding continues without a way to opt out. Maybe a "no ads gold purchase" each month with a way to turn off the ads. Once they start flashing again, I could buy another month.

    While this looks good in theory, think about the problems people have had with gold purchases:  not being credited for purchases, being overcharged, gold being "lost" due to accidents, Paypal issues -- etc, etc, etc -- and the ensuing lack of customer support.  Can you imagine the nightmare that could occur if you tried to cancel the monthly subscription for some reason with their flawed payment system?

    Tempting though a subscription sounds, I'm not sure I want an overseas company to have recurring access to my funds given the problems it's had.

    @artful (US1)  Bravo I agree a million percent. The good thing though (not really good  we still get the pops up) is that all of the pop & ads are Big Farm GGS related and not some outside ads. Now if they were, then that would be a whole different story. I would be highly irritated by that.

    I am afraid this will fall on deaf ears. There as been many requests for such a thing as well as an option when it comes to Gold spending in the way of a confirmation "do you want to". None of these are going to happen any time soon if ever.
     They are a business out to make money. Plain and simple. Agree the way they go about it is not right but we do have a choice. You can play as a free player or you can spend real money or both or not play at all. It is your choice!!

    I thought the complaint was about iritating presence of offers taking up too much space on the screen. Wheather I play free or pay it's still irritating the same, so what are you talking about?

    I was referring to all the offers they push at us. ;)

    So are we, but the request is to provide some kind of option to "hide" them from the screen so that we can better see the farm when playing. Sounds like a reasoneable request. What do you think? Or do you think giving us an option to for example hide the overhead console to facilitate farming will somehow damage GG gold mining emporium? I don't see any decent reason why they couldn't, shouldn't and wouldn't do it for us at some point. If anything all it does is to irritate players to the point that they refuse to buy any gold even if they normally would. Them being so money making oriented is actually another reason to listen and do it. So why should you put yourself in the role of GG spokesman and claim they will not, :)

    Yes I would love to have 90% of what is shown on the game screen to have an option to hide it.
    Like most of the top & bottom plus any & all notices ie pop ups/specials what ever but timers, just like the side windows, tasks & next harvest.
    They have set it up as way to get the most out of a player as they can through timing & placement of certain things. It has been this way for years.
    There has also been years of complaints about this as well.
    Yet here we are
    I happen to enjoy the game & more so the people/players that I meet and get to know.
    I see no change in that area coming any time soon.
    I have just learned to deal with it.
  • As with most topics, people respond based on their own experiences with the game, but this one affects people in massively different ways. Depending on your screen resolution, screen size, even which site you are registered on, your view of your farm will be somehwere between the following 2 descriptions:
    • A large wide rectangle with 2 small pop-out boxes at the sides, a block of icons/meters across the top centre with gaps either side of them & some crates & icons below them, all of which are in the sky above your farm & the task bar at the bottom, also with fairly lage gaps either side.
    • A rectangular border with a square in the centre, side boxes that almost fill the height of the game square & protrude over the farm, icons/meters across the top from corner to corner and offers below them that are on the farm area & a bar across the bottom from corner to corner, which is also covering the bottom of your farm.
    I am fortunate enough to have the first desciption, my farm fits between all the clutter & I can pretty much harvest anything with just minor dragging & I personally find the bar at the bottom to be more annoying to my game than the stuff at the top. But I have seen screenshots of the other extreme, where people are trying to play on a farm that they can just about work on a 1/4 of their farm without having to drag the rest out from under the UI  or the offers & to be honest I have no idea how they do it, it would drive me insane.

    There is absolutely a need to be able to "hide" the UI at the top & bottom of the screen, in the same way that we can hide the side ones & even to have a "Hide all" button so that we wouldn`t need to click 4 or more arrows to do it. I would  like it for things like hunting events, even on my screen & if GGS  want to keep the offers on the screen - Which they obviously do, because its how they earn their money - Then being able to hide the UI above it & the bar at the bottom, would still make a huge difference to those people with the smallest screens, if they only had the offer icons showing.
  • The problem i find with the exclamation marks in the car park is that they block out the "events" behind, and the ones at the back seem to be the ones we need to click on often, the hard worker, santa ! im fed up clicking on santa and getting naughty or nice, or a trader. I have noticed that the pop ups upon log in are getting more and more again. I think we all agree that GGS do need income, but do we need to be "asked" every 15 - 30 minutes with pop ups and reminded every time we go to the car park. If I want to use my runestones i do not need the trader to be there 24 / 7 blocking out playing event icons. As data king says it all falls on deaf ears, my lovely friend scizzors says im a conspiracy theorist with regards GGS, haha just because i do not believe everything they say ! Players only need to look at the tactics used , look at how most bugs benefit GGS gold usage, look at how they appear at weekends so that they have 2-3 days to "collect" from these so called bugs. Just wait until the New Year, what fun we will have, odds on bet that we will have a shut down in the middle of a co-op challenge, odds on that there will be hot fix after hotfix, in theory there should be no bugs as they test everything before hand--- or was the test server just another island , another way to get gold usage ! after all we are still getting bugs !  o:) Merry Christmas Big Farmers
