This is coming from a gold user:
This update is a joke, and I feel like GGS is focusing on more ways to taunt us with using and buying gold instead of making the game fun. Why don't you take all this hard work and focus on the 4th farm you've been showing for MONTHS now? I'm mad, honestly. Every week I get all excited for the new update, today I stayed up waiting for it (it is 4:45am). I should have read more on it and known that it was gold only, but I wanted to be surprised. Who in their right might would pay 450 gold for 3 more extra corn every time they harvest? So disappointed.

Edit: So after re-reading this I've realized I did not get the right point across, I blame anger and lack of sleep. So this is what I was trying to say in a nutshell: I think GGS needs to stop focusing on new updates, and focus on things that are already out, or that have been promised. Like more projects and the 4th farm. All this time and energy spent could have gone to these things. New stuff should come later. I did appreciate the dog, and the new events are awesome because they include everyone. But I think it's way overdue to produce the 4th farm for us. As far as the library, I think the first level should have been cash, second level 490 gold, and the rest either 490 or just a bit more. 5900 gold for level 2 apples is insane. That is all.

wonderful. I just bought milk to help my coop and apples for more money, the next upgrade for level 2 if 5900 gold for apples and 2500 gold for milk. JOKE

Not something I will be using.

I'm sure Germany probably does need all this gold they're trying to get money from us for, but hey, if you can't make a game that is reasonable then find another way to make your money. Get off all this gold crap. This so-called game is going from a Game to a monopoly.

Oh, you won't milk up the gold from us that easy :)! You have to be more creative and satisfy our brain cells! Please, think up something more interesting!

it makes playing the game no more fun. the whole idea is just spend gold and u can be up at level 50 in 3 4 days

goodgame studios wants to lose its regular farmers.

THIS IS A USELESS UPDATE AND IS AGAINST THE SPIRIT OF THE GAME OF WORKING HARD

REMOVE IT

There's no need to quit or any thing like that. If you don't want to use it just ignore it and let the people who want it, have it :)

Strongly agree with you and everyone else in the thread. This is taking Pay2Win a bit far eh ? This is getting very typical of most free2play games they get lazy and just add stuff you might buy because you are really bored...Or you might get a small stat bonus so buy it now !

Worst case scenario buy it now or you cannot compete with pay players at all. Thx I won't buy it and will continue to play and try to have fun :) I also won't spend another dime on the game ever again :P

Joyce, gold is what keeps this game running. You don't need to purchase any if you don't wish and continue looking after your farm without any built in gold limits, which is actually something that most games don't allow you to do.

As for my opinion on this update - I like it. I've brought books already and I'll continue buying them as the need arises for me. I rarely used the Staff when they existed because in my opinion, it was a lot of gold for only 5 days of use. Now with the library, it's permanent so anything you buy, you've got for the lifetime of your farm.

The idea of the library is as an alternative for the Staff that we used to have - which have gone now because of the problems that used to arise from them. That's why the books are gold orientated. No one has to buy books if they don't want to, and there is still the option to increase the selling price of all the produce on the main farm anyway by research within your cooperative.

I agree with the majority here registered post - this has become a game for the rich! ?(

It is not fair to the loyal players who sit for hours and wait for crops

Give us something more fun and lively not colorful lies only in the thumbnail. in this global crisis instead of entertainment us - require additional costs.!!!
i think stop to play this game for this reason :(

[746034] aavvkk (IN1) [None] :: Dec. 11, 2013, 11:41 a.m.
it makes the idea of competing jut not worth it. the skill the patience is all gone. You have overnight created a divide between the haves and the have nots.

[746038] Kat Nip (GB1) [GB1] :: Dec. 11, 2013, 11:52 a.m.
I don't understand how this is any different to the Staff that were available previously - they were there as an option from the very beginning of the game. The library is just a replacement for them.

OK! For those who obviously doesn't understand what the fair play is! I buy gold regularly becaause I appreciate the work of the programers. But, I won't to have an advantage over other players just because I have more cash! Therefore I use it mainly for researches and tasks and very rarely to treat myself.To help others is more important to me!

[746040] Mika5Player [None] :: Dec. 11, 2013, 11:58 a.m.
Why bother the players - how things are the rich will play

I found this game to a free offer!
What is this - are loaded puppy - useless
Now we have an overview Stock neatly stacked books that we have to buy at least been interesting accompanying coop - or not go to the top

Give Abolish repair impression - opening up the possibility of buying dollars - if it were a large amount

This library thing should not be permanent at all !!! We land books from the library!!! It should be PUBLIC library where we all, rich and poor can "quench our thirst for knowledge"!

[746043] gizmo22 (AU1) [AU1] :: Dec. 11, 2013, 12:08 p.m.
490 gold for 3 extra corn? Really? Thats the update? I can get 3 extra corn just by sitting around and clicking worker bubbles for 5 minutes, or get extra corn by upgrading a field. It cheapens the field upgrades and humus applications and once again will make missions unfair when it comes to collecting produce from your farms. The gold buyers using these books will always have an advantage and makes the planned mission overhauls a bit pointless because of this.

as a gold buyer ive always been one to defend the fact that ggs needs gold to pay the bills and keep the game alive but i have noticed they seem to be getting a greedy side lately.with the blue barn,raising prices on water tower and workshop,that useless mine,these ridiculously expensive books and many other examples,ggs seems to be focusing primarily on gold use rather than the 50 50 standard.im also a supporter of the "dont like dont buy" rule but it seems like week after week is just waiting for something better to happen.

So, it'd be nice to have that *coming soon* actually mean something.
The 4th farm has been coming soon since I joined.
Instead, the game developers have been focusing their efforts on new ways to entice people to spend gold.

Has the focus shifted from building and developing farms to let's see who will spend the most money to play?

Will that focus sustain the game for a 3d year?

Just a suggestion: Scrap the library, refund the gold and try again. BTW, I do buy gold on a regular basis. This library, is an unwanted "update" in my view. It destroys the integrity of the game.

[746048] xxx562 [None] :: Dec. 11, 2013, 12:28 p.m.
For those of us that do not wish and or will not use..............We should have the option to demolish or opt out.

[746049] rishi4 [None] :: Dec. 11, 2013, 12:41 p.m.
I think the update itself is a good idea, as it replies the staff which weren't really used that much. However i somewhat agree with the attitude of players towards it being gold orientated. I think it would have been ideal, if they wanted to make it all gold bought, then allow the first level to be bought with normal cash. That way some people would be able to benefit without using gold similar to that of the doghouse. :)
