    I looked through the listings of G & T and saw repeated stupid offers .. people offering a Brian Snitzel or sweater donkey in return for a blackthorn plumb tree, etc. I tried to post a warning in the newbie section, but was informed that as an opinion, its not allowed there.o_O

    Fine, but then Farmerama/BP need to do a MUCH better job of providing simple information. Just saying "be cautious" is not enough when someone is just too new to even know what is what.

    Worse, although you can hover over items in the market to see what they are, there is no way to just look at the list of offerings and see what they are worth. Some of the deco items are very old and tracking down the value is difficult even for experienced folks, never mind newbies.

    This is a very simple step you can take toward making Farmerama more friendly and wlecoming to new people. (and remember, new people -- truly new people, not second farm "newbies" are what keeps the game going and growing).

    I've benefited from such stupid postings before.
    And some have done so repeatedly in the market.
    There is nothing wrong in being stupid. Otherwise those who give for free would be termed 'more stupid', which would be regrettable...
    :(:(:(

    There is a limit. When it is a brand new person who barely knows where the forum is... its a bit much to expect them to understand G&T. And.. to say that taking advantage of someone is the same as willingly giving a gift is quite a stretch.

    woody I don't even know enough to start a stragey thread on this topic... I was considering it and then I wrote... what is a brian schnitzel... is it good or bad... valuable or cheap?
    idk how to even find out other then pouring through tons of pages of old event quests.
    Perhaps you could start a strat thread on this topic.
    Thank you!

    It gives 60 EP, the sweater donkey gives 25 EP, the birthday cake is in that neighborhood, too.
    Done.

    Basically, I would be very cautious about trading for any deco item you don't know about.

    While a good idea, this is a new suggestion, not a comment on the above suggestion.

    I'm no newbie,but i can tell you this,i have lots of empty or half empty cloud rows,trying to get deco items for them during this event is crazy,some players put up something way over expectations to trade for these deco items,i think the decos should be more regulated during g&t to allow some of us like myself trying to fill cloud rows a chance to have a fair trade on these items
