    I don't know if the game developers even read these posts or if someone else does and gives feed back in a meeting, but something needs to be done about getting GB's. The higher level u are, the longer it takes to level up. U need 30-40 GB's just to OPEN a 'door' and them u still need the required amount for what u really needed to get. I wasted 40 GB's by opening up a 'level' in the temple. I could have used those to purchase the pepper seeds that I've needed to get for 2 yrs! At the rate the level climb is going, I won't get any GB's for another 6 months!! I don't know about the rest of the players here, but I don't always have the luxury of playing this game all day every day. Do these game developers know this? We do have lives outside of Farmerama.. loosen up the GB purse strings!! Knowing that it will take so long to get these doesn't make the game so much fun anymore..

    OK..... I just figured this getting GB's out here. In order to get ALL the statues, tree's, breeding, etc.. I will have to level up 150 times (!) to get it all. If I decide not to get the starter breeding packs and gift packages, I only need to level up 130 times! NOW, what makes me angry here is the big + and after that has 2 more 'buttons'... If I'm reading it correct, I have to give 40 GB's to that plus before I can enter those other 2 buttons. Well... I gave those 40 GB's and still wasn't able to get the cactus, hibiscus, coffee, persimmon tree, mate tree or the harbor. I wasn't able to get green tea, lemongrass or ginger, either. So, I just lost 40 GB's cuz it opens up nothing for me!!! At a level 93 here, I will either have to be a level 223 or higher to achieve everything in the temple. C'mon guys!! Make it a little easier to get the GB's! It's going to take me YEARS to get some of this stuff. And what happened to my 40 GB's??

    You obviously don't play very much at all. I don't get online every day, and usually only for less than a hr when i do. I normally manage to level on the island about every 2 weeks and doing a few quests today actually leveled the island 3 times today.
    A few more GBs might seem nice, but I'm already finding the island too easy and like the difficulty of what to spend my GBs on when I get them.

    I agree that we need another avenue in which to get GB's. But 10 stars is too much. How about 1 star equals 1 banana? If it's to difficult to achieve, then it's too discouraging and people will quit playing.

    I agree that Golden bananas should be added at least to SOME challenges. I also agree that stars are becoming useless to me as I have all from the tree of wisdom that I care to have. Challenges based on goods raised in Bahamarama should include those that are rewarded with golden bananas. Either too many are required to open items OR they are too hard to acquire to meet those numbers needed. Something has got to change as the frustration level is too high. Malki68

    It'll take me 114 years to get the amount of Gold Bananas required to complete the current temple chambers on offer. Maybe I can pass it on to my son when I die and he can do the same to his son also. Maybe thats what the game designers had in mind, after all, its a way that generations of the one family can pursue the "endless gold banana dream".

    I tried painting an actual banana gold and rubbing it all over my computer but that didn't seem to help either. I would appear there is no gold banana ozmosis effect boo hoo hoo. It took ages to clean up too............

    How about 1000 Regular Banana's for 1 golden one?

    I can't say it's a bad idea but these would have been the results of it. We would never see bananas in the market ever again. And everyone would place bananas trees in all his bahamarama.

    Banana trees would be discontinued, just like scented trees, cow milk trees, sugar trees......

    Not if players would like brahama exp from the quest. and it also would take 1000 banana's and 20 hours to make 1.

    I definitely second this!!!

    And this!!!

    Really Bhodho...which giver is this please??

    I definitely agree that GB's should be offered a little more in events/rewards and that the amount of GB's required to not only unlock the chambers but to unlock another animal/tree/plant is rather :eek: but I can also understand that the game isn't designed so that we can just whizz through it then end up completing the game and being like "so, what now?". It is supposed to take time to get through levels and basically, keep us playing!!! The devs are looking to add to the game to keep things progressing otherwise we'd be off elsewhere. There must be players that have been playing this for years and are at level a zillion on Baha that have unlocked everything that must be clinging on, hoping that Coral Reef is it's on way because there's nowhere else to go. Yes, give us more options to earn GB's here and there but don't make it too easy! Just my opinion! ;)

    @neily35 , could you point me in the direction of the GB quest please, I must've missed it somehow!

    Do you have a quest called Castles in the Sand? This is a new quest everyone should have it.:)

    Ah yes of course, I totally forgot about it neily, thankyou for reminding me! This is also the quest that a lot of people said that even though there are GB's offered as part of the reward, they thought it asked for way too many breeding animals. You can check out player's responses in the thread 'Castles in the Sand' in Chit Chat..(the thread was actually started by me so why I'd forgotten it has GB's is rather amusing but there has been a lot going on since then!lol)
