Update Oct 8th - Nothing to see here, move along - Discussion
The Coop Invite bug as well as the "next harvest display" bug should be fixed, though!
Comments
Thanks in advance, Latten!
That "next harvest" bug is sooo "bad"
If that's the case, then strategy could change quite a bit in some circumstances.

it is the italian forum
Yes, please - agree with rhinana: L I N K ????
EDIT: OK - THX FarmerAlexia - read your answer, THX (and I do speak Italian)
Thanks. That is a very odd change to make.
ETA: I will reserve judgement and opinion until this is confirmed by mods here. Maybe the Italian mod is playing a joke or misunderstood something.

Looks like this is real folks. Above is a link from the Portuguese forum with a bit more explanation. (Just let your browser translate it.)

Dear community,
Along with the fixes that should occur in the update of Wednesday, we will also implement some changes in the EN server. From the 8th of October the servers mentioned may not buy products using dollars.
This change occurs because the Big Farm is a strategy game developed for production and we feel that the possibility of obtaining these elements without production, ultimately divert players of the production cycle itself.
We will of course be aware of the impact these changes will have on the game and the feedback of the servers affected by the change (the PT server will observe these changes along with Italian, Hungarian, etc server).

If you are on one of the test servers, be sure to give your feedback and give it loudly!
"Do not Want!"
Buying to avoid producing is one thing, but you wouldn`t be able to buy for other reasons either...Like filling the ship if you are short of something.
As for the other item mentioned above 'may not buy products using dollars'....I sincerely hope they do not implement this on any server. How we make/spend our money on OUR farms should be up to us - it is OUR farm after all!
If this is change is made...it will, in my opinion - cause an uproar in this game to the level not seen before.
Too bad, if that's gonna happen someday... I think it's gonna be a lot to "see"... back to the stoneage....
I can't see how eliminating a tactilly viable part of the game for all involved would be any advantage. Wait.... let me guess. We can buy them with gold instead, hm?
Precisely the reason for this IMO. Perhaps not buy the products themselves but speed up the cycle using gold....
It still does not make me buy gold
Me either. I get that this is a business and they want to make money. And maybe for new players this will encourage gold buying but it will do the opposite for established players.
If you want us long time players to buy more gold, stop implementing "updates" that change the game drastically for us. Try giving us better gold buying rewards or bonuses. Listen to the many wonderful suggestions that have been posted on the forums. The current approach is driving people away.
I'm afraid you're right, Rhinana. We've already lost one player because of this and two others are ready to bolt.
They do that on US and I may stop playing. I am a gold player and this change would make me buy less gold as I would no longer play.

Just what some of my co'op friends are thinking about this.
What would've been the right way to do this perhaps? Maybe make an annoucement in the targeted servers that ask "We're looking for people to test out a new feature, please sign up in this thread, etc." Offer a small reward of thanks (hmm gold let's say) for the participants. This is a very poor way to conduct business IMO, and to be honest, I don't think I'm the only one thinking this.
This would be a really awful change to the game, and it sends very clear message to people. While you CAN play the game for FREE, it isn't sustainable if you want to access all the features of the game. Those gold rewards you get for free in the game won't be enough for players to use. This game is turning into one that is best enjoyed with your wallet a little bit lighter.
Unfortunately, I am one of those players who might be thinking of giving up the game based on the changes that have occurred since the entire Big Farm environment changed months ago. I started playing in 2013 and this version of the game is not the game I enjoyed during my free time.
But I know there's only more to come in the future. We can all be disappointed with what is going on, and feel sorry for the people in the other servers that will be affected. Perhaps if we all really care, we just stop buying gold, despite all the 200% bonus offers we get, and see what happens next. I was monthly gold purchaser, and stopped buying it before the summer started. I have no motivation to spin the wheel of fortune because I'm tired of trying to place high in the rankings. I'll do my best to enjoy this game without the pressure to spend gold, even though it is very very clear we are encouraged to do so with all the new updates.
I've suggested a PC version of this game for purchase before, but this doesn't make GGS as much money I guess. Since I used to buy gold in the past, I would buy a game with all the features included. If the price was reasonable, GGS still could make money off this and subsequent versions of the game. Offer the free version online with a few gold features of course, but then you'd create a market who would support buying the PC version.
