Criticism: Sick and Tired

PaPaw3 (US1)PaPaw3 (US1) US1 Posts: 28
OK...so I post some criticism in a thread and the thread was moved but its nowhere in the thread it was moved to. Guess GGS didn't want people to see what I had to say, so I'm gonna post a new thread and see what happens.

First off, I've played this game for over 1.5 years. I used to really like this game and spent quite a bit of real money buying gold.

Over the time playing, I've noticed that GGS has really gotten greedy and I've seen a trend of them not caring for us players. There's been lots of complaints about bugs that still have not been addressed other than them saying they are working on it or doing update "bug fixes" which is a total crock.

This game seems to gotten away from its title, Big Farm. It seems to me that its all about horses and the islands. In my opinion, its just another way for GGS to get more people to buy gold. It also seems that every new update has more ways to do the same thing...get people to buy gold. Now people can pay to cheat (in my opion) which is totally unfair to people who either choose not to buy gold or can't afford it.

So I've decided that GGS will not get another dime from me. In fact, I'm to the point where I'm either going to sell my farm or just demolish everything and donate to a worthy co-op. I'm sure I'll get some who will disagree with me or not like what I say but just remember, its MY opinion and I'm entitled to it. This is the "Suggestions, praise and CRITICISM" part of the forum.

Now lets see if my posting gets moved or deleted this time.

    I hate to admit it, but this is no longer the same game that I first fell in love with. Change is good, but only if the change is for the better. :(

    Don't like it, don't play (or pay). Plenty of other games out there. Why waste all this energy and time complaining?

    thats all well and good saying that....but when i started playing this strategy farming game....it WAS a strategy farming game.....no there is so much other stuff that takes away and lessens the game in my opinion......
    Where is the strategy?????
    Missions....dont do them anymore because i always play by myself and i can never get the one i want.....dont want to hold onto eggs for 3 hours waiting for a egg mission... but if i collect eggs from my ducks next mission will always be eggs.....same with dung....held onto all my dung producing critters for over 3 hours and no dung mission....so collect dung and next mission is dung...
    now if i dont want to wast 30 - 50 mission+ $$$$$ on island which i dont.....then horses which are still a lump of un-animated things waiting for the glue factory because they very rarely win because i dont have fruit from glasshouse to waste on upgrading them to loose more.....because to me the island is not worth doing at all

    This Is A COMPLAINTS part of the forum....we are allowed to complain when the game changes so far away from the game we started playing


    Now you have library books to increase yields....farm machines to increase production......special hot deals to buy rep points and gain bonuses to fast track your way through the game....
    GGS took away our top selling items that made up money and then offered you to buy gold to get some of that farm cash you were making before.
    if you dont play the game exactly like ggs wants you too then they chance the rules to force you along the path they think you should be on.....

    PS bad programming is causing this game to continually crash and blaming it on us players for not clearing history, cach etc etc 8 time a day is not exactly nice either

    I agree with you. However.... I find it challenging to play free. I started doing that only when the flat out refuse to put any kind of gold lock, or warning note your about to spend. They seem to like to shake out our pockets. They got some money out of me but won't get one cent more.
    I keep my pockets empty here. Anything I buy came from waiting until the game handed me enough to buy it with. And if I lose it clicking on something by mistake, it didn't really cost me anything.

    I don't play the library thing. I don't even pay attention to those market guys that show up. I do not buy deco.
    I only very rarely spend anything while doing a mission. It's got to be real close or forget it. I don't have to be first.

    The whole horse thing is confusing and never was much fun. I gave that up before they even finished with it.
    (Never a good thing to roll something out broken. They lost me right out of the gate.)

    The island? Well since my farms are all such high levels, earning money isn't that hard. If I have it stashed up I'll attempt the island. Sadly for me, I've had to make week long out of town trips so not once did I stand a chance of getting anything past chapter 1. Oh well. I get enough to stock up on seeds so the ship doesn't have to sit there for hours.

    I like the coops I'm in. The people there are fun.

    There is enough here to play without spending. If the kids (and I'm sure they are just interns who don't really care) who are designing this game ever wake up and read all the posts here about all this, it would improve.
    But they don't, haven't, and are not likely to start. So the choices are....
    Play free, enjoy what you can,
    or move on.

    I feel the same way! This game isn't what it use to be at all. So many things have changed & now what was a fun loving game seems to be a full time job. I'm still hanging in there because of the people in our co-op. Otherwise I would have been gone a while ago. In my 2 years here, I have seen a lot of good players leave & unfortunately there will be more....

    I agree! GGS wont be getting a dime from me either until they have a good look at themselves and stop tainting competitions with short cut offers. I am now on my 6th 200% gold offer for the day, it reaks of desperation so please stop demeaning yourselves with stupid offers and listen to your customers for a change.

    Hi Arzie,

    I checked for your missing post & it would appear that you posted at the same time as the threads were merged. When that happens, your post doesn`t make it to the new thread & as the original thread no longer exists it is left in the Twilight Zone. I have now moved it to join the other posts & you can find it here (post #60)

    Sorry for the confusion, but we have no way of knowing when this happens, unless we see someone looking for a missing post.

    Someone in my coop made gold league in the horse competition without doing a single island, so it is possible :)

    One of these days SOON most likely, GG$ will do something that upsets you. Thats when we will know that they are about to pull the plug. You will be swamped, literally drowning in all the sympathy. Sympathy from all the many, many players you have complained about them complaining. No doubt of that at all! ROFL.

    Hardly anyone is as perfect as you. But since you did ask, most people feel better expressing emotions when experiencing loss. Thats whats happened. There has been loss. Loss of the game we started out playing.

    It seems this is happening in every GGS game, they are just getting greedy. I am not as active here as GGE, but from what you guys are saying it looks like GGS is doing it here too. I used to love playing this games, but now I am hardly active on BF at all. They give me +150% deals all the time too, looks like they are trying to make every penny they can get.

    I like how there was no mention of hearing her complaints out. No comments or reply to all the players begging for the game to go back to the old way. Sad. Truly sad.

    The horse portion of this game is a total sham. I have a horse at level 23 and players with a horse on level 30 is beating me out? Yeah that seems real fun or fair.
    This sucks huge!

    Yes, I really miss my other game from GGS is Farmer. That game brought me so Happiness in my LIFE. And I wish that they put it on their data on their computers. One time when I was playing the event of fairy tale event and I was at the 5th task and I was almost done with it. That next morning the time was ended. And I was so upset by that. I was about to do the 6th task. But I know how you guys feel with the gold and horses all that stuff as well. And I wish that my America people take GGS company away from Germany people. LOL! Because right now I can't STOP thinking about that game I use to play called ( Goodgame Farmer ). This is the face I miss my game of ( GoodgameFarmer ) <
    :( ( PLEASE GGS PLEASE BRING BACK GOODGAME FARMER BACK I'M BEGGING YOU ON MY KNEES ). And bring it on your data. Because I have so much good ideas on that farmer game on my farm. And you stolen my dreams from that Goodgame Farmer. And you made everybody upset on here.

    Sorry but Goodgame Farmer was shut down & replaced with Big Farm. I played Farmer for a short while before it was shut down. I can't say why GGS chose to shut it down but if I had to guess it would be because they came up with a better idea and graphics for a farming game & it was easier to scrap the old game & create a new one. Honestly, I like Big Farm better than Farmer for several reasons but since this thread isn't about that I won't go on.

    I don't recall seeing players begging for the game to go back to the old way. I have seen players make comments about how the game is now vs the way it was before. I, myself said it wouldn't hurt my feelings if the whole farm environment disappeared & we went back to the original game but when we had the original game we kept asking for more & more so here we are. GGS has had many updates & added many many new features to the game. I don't see them deleting all of their efforts & going back to the old way anytime soon. ;)

    Hey tinyandme,

    criticism, if constructive, is always welcome. As a matter of fact, I don't see any recently removed posts of yours in our logs. 8|

    Anyways, in terms of you guys wanting more farm-ish features in the future, I will definitely forward your feedback and we'll see what we can do. It might take a while, but we still have some surprises up our sleeves. :)

    Regards,
    Steffi
