    From what I've seen reported (I never took the one deal that I've been offered) the disappointment in the shady deals that have been taken far outweighs the really good ones (I've only seen the WOF token mentioned, but may have missed others).

    Let's see how we can improve him in the next update then :)

    I hope that that will be soon Latten. I do appreciate your listening to us too. Please let us know ASAP when we can expect this update. And also when will all the other things be fixed that we've been told are being worked on for the market? Please do not do any other updates until the Market is fixed!

    Please, please, please can we have a status update to let us know what is going on with all of this? I don't know whether to do the Market now or wait until things are fixed? Or what to tell my Co-op.

    I think the Market will be very good once it is fixed. As far as the Vendor goes, there are a lot of players with young farms that cannot afford to lose $150.000 in exchange for only a bag of corn! I hope the changes take this into account too. I am Level 120 and i will certainly stay away from it. I have not heard of anything very god coming from him, only rip offs!

    In view of the major mess that this Market update has caused, and all the downtime, frustration, losses, etc., don't you think that an Official Announcement add on is in order with some kind of status report to let everyone know what's going on? It's not really much to ask! PLEASE!!!!

    This is a Gamble. It's like a lottery ticket or a raffle. You don't get to always win.

    My experience would suggest it was much more like a casino.
    If you are really lucky you might break even but otherwise you lose!

    Today's update made a little bit changes to my post above and that post is now being outdated. However, I made a new table (applying level 91 users and above) that lists the chances from last week and the new chances introduced this week. It's using a scale from 1 to 10 with 1 being low chance to get and 10 being high chance to get.

    it's a big problem for lower level like me , which i have to work hard to find $ and it made me spent the 100.000 just for the 10 pigfeed

    Edit by PINJO: merged posts, please use edit button

    Well, Lets say perhaps you spent $100.000 on that person and got a awesome reward like 250 gold or something? How would you feel? I do it, I might get a awesome reward! you don't know what they got in stall for you!

    Ok, here's how I learned to play the market.


    IF..... and only IF they are asking for stuff I usually end up selling off extra anyway, I'll sell. Now I really don't pay much attention to if I'm making money or losing, don't really care. I have plenty.

    Now the ones that are asking for five or more things? USUALLY A RTP OFF! Gees I filled a few asking for peaches, cherries, oils etc etc.... only to get 4,000.00. WTH?

    Now you can decline an offer too. Try that. Get rid of the ones asking for tons of valuable stuff and hope you get one asking for extras.

    Same for the people. IF and only IF they are asking for something I sell off anyway, say roses, then sure. Happy face is usually a good thing. But ask for something I need? Be very careful with your curser. Stay away.
  • Oh my goodness........consider this your warning!!!  After months of totally ignoring the "shady vendor" at the organic market (I got done dirty by him a few times), I thought I'd give him another chance.........WHAT a MISTAKE!!!  LOL!!! :(   I'm almost ashamed to tell y'all that I just paid $95,000 for ONE..........Special Seed...........CORN...........I can only say, GGS, please remove this criminal or make him worth our hard earned money!!  April Fools Day is over, and this is NOT a funny joke!!.........sheesh........ :s

                        Yeah, the mystery prizes are a real rip-off. :)  95k for a few drops of water? What a waste of money!

    I find him useful..I'm below lv 50, but I never buy question marks above the price of 5k..twice he gave me fertilizers so needed at my level, 3-4 times I got certificates, couple of times Karma points, several times water drops, even a green token!...been good so far, I just trying to be careful and never fall in to the trap when the price is high..otherwise we all know it's a gambling.

  • He has never offered me anything but a "?" for 95K.  Mind you I've stopped looking so he might be offering something else.  
  • I did noticed as I slowly progressing that prices jumping up too from time to time...I just refuse to pay those over 5k...I wonder if that price with time will increase on everything he sells and if that depends on players level.
  • i have  the market man giving me  rewards all the time, cool lol  but he took all my money, every reward i get from him was ( is ) less  $ on my account. i only realized that couse i run out of $. is it normal? a bug? over 8mil is just gone :(:'(  :s how can that be?what  should i do?


  • I learned my lesson also, no vendor at the market for me.

    If you're talking about the guy at the corner of the market holding the cash - you're buying from him - those aren't rewards.  Every time you click on him, you're spending $95,000 for whatever he has.

    See that is sooo  ...  wrong GGS keeps the land, the bank and other upgrades that cant be demolished but the cash??? specially that much. Shouldn't be a safeguard for this kind of things?  WRONG CLICKS but no way to undo a mistake  or GGS reserves the right to renege whenever they feel like it...   so i heard. One day the players will exercise their right to renege themselves. That day i hope the game survives because i like playing it lol
