Too much of clicking. I have now stopped as I am tired of clicking. High numbers of clicks for each step is irritating & tiresome.

But a good way to get PFs, GBs, & BBs even though Farm coin requirements for GBs is very very high.

Really couldn't endure more clicking and wasting of my barn fruits. To get another (the same amount of) 250 coins, I have to give more fruits than the previous 20 steps of each category for the next 20 steps and to get another (the same amount of) 250 coins, I have to give much more than the previous 40 steps in each category . Moreover I have to click nearly 8 to 10 times for each step. Is human energy so cheap. Do we have to slave to play this event.

 

My initial view on this event:
PRO: we can buy special trees (chaste and hawthorn) for the star coins, which we can't get with BB or CCs.

CON: the amount of fruit to be donated, to get enough star coins to buy something useful is very high.
no chance for lower level players to get anything, as they don't have/have very little trees with high value fruit,therefor I think,
the classification "easy" is not quite right

Happy Farming

 

Man That's A Hole LOTA STUFF for one magic tree

this one is going to eat you alive. i gota stop

 

I have to agree - the clicking is nutty. I will donate only a few times. I have pretty much quit playing Farmerama because they don't listen to us at all. I will make a few deposits on the 1 or 2 days a week I log-in but thats about it. I have stopped paying$$$ on all my farms to play as well, so all my harvester's are all gone now (as well as everything else now) and the clicking is just too much. I wouldn't call this event "easy" as much as I would call it a "barn raid". I think making a few donations to get a few coins is ok. I would like the magic tree but . . . .500 coins???? Not sure I will still be here that long.

 

• Dull to do
• Even I can see the prizes are really expensive compared to the donation required.
  
• No sense of accomplishment when finishing a step
• Not for fresh farmers (except if they are really good at playing the market or totally tree nuts)
• Drops.. Not sure if I can wrap this silly feature into something that sounds a bit constructive. For me it just didn't work this time around. The large amount needed, the relative low drop rate. No visible count unless I pulled up the drop bar from the bottom. No target to reach.
  
• Not the best artwork from BP.

On the plus side : We can actually choose our prizes, there's a possibility of choosing rare trees and other BB items. You can skip this and not miss out on a great reward.

Edit: Peanut's name "Barn Raid" would be a more fitting name.

 

Positive: Although it may not be for newer players; those of us who have excess trees in inventory get a chance to trade them in (similar to train) for something we want. I recently got rid of some of my trees in inventory so I don't have as many as I used to but I still have 1000's of some types.

I prefer this method of getting rid of excess inventory vs having the requirements levels increased in events.

Negative: I would prefer that the amount of donated tree fruits were not as high though (so I could get more coins). Why do they have to increase each time you donate when the number of coins remains the same?

 

The Prizes for this Event is not worth it at all, to Gain Farm Coins as we had Fruit Market in July 2016 that gave Star Coins and Better Prizes. To me is basically a rip off event in terms of Fruit Donation Requirement.

It just another event drain our Barns of Fruit as they do take considerable time to restock our barns. As we had couple of events in a year asking for Tree Fruits. We need time to restock Tree Fruits.

This event is huge let down for me so i thought i am going to find alternative ways to get most of the Prizes on offer but other means of Strategy i have.

 

i too will skip another event playing less and less lately used to love this game

 

Definitely a barn burner. As a longer time player, I had very large stocks of fruit -- thousands of most baharama fruit, in particular, so the event offered me a chance to get a magic tree - something I have wanted from the beginning.

Was it "worthwhile"? That depends. Since I could not get a magic tree another way and already have most prizes I want, it was for me. For many other players, particularly those without huge stocks of fruit, probably not.

Also, I have to say that the bad part of "rebalancing" the values of things is that many things we have worked hard to get are now effectively worthless or worth little because they are available so easily by other means -- the rows that give items (and disappointing to new people who won't have the chance to get those except maybe by spending money during a retro sale), not to mention adding pink pens to the wheel. (the wheel is a whole other issue -- you add in pink pens, which distorts their value, but keep the low level craft products .. makes NO sense!)

mooboy's post illustrates the disparity well -- I do have a supergrow tree, but have no chance to get any of the others. I would like to see them added as prizes again. You can rebalance all you want, but when you just make everything easier and take away some of the very special things, then you pretty well wind up destroying the game.

I would like to see pink pens only very, very rarely on the wheel (better to be kept as rewards for events), see flowers and other removed wheel items put as shop rewards, as well as a chance to get the jumbo trees again. I know that is not likely, but I would also say that removing these things that were once available, albeit rarely, is part of what is diminishing the game.

 

i had 76 farm coins so being i had 32.000 guavas i used them to get up too 120 farm coins got the 60 pf .i am stopping there.

 

That's a very good question

 

Barn Raid. Yep

 

May I say boring and expensive, for rewards offered..

For this event I wouldn't have minded being too busy to participate.
Really not worth putting all lands down to trees.. Back to drawing board please...

 

what's the problem, don't you want to throw all and everything you grew away?? every apple tree, every grape mean's something.
time and effort,

 

I much prefer this over the train, at least you know what your getting (my experience with train so far has not been very positive, never get anything rare and usually spend more that what originally cost).
A few things high priced but stock up on pf and pg is good as is the harvester coupons. Hopefully some of the rare trees will be offered in the future. Everything else, I will go after on a prioritize at that time.

 

This is the first event that I did not participate in. I already had 3 of each tree. After reading some comments about the lag and all the clicking, it just lost it's appeal

 

Greetings lovely Farmers
