Farm Story 2‪™‬ 4+

I just tapped a pile of riches (which cost 500 coins and require a gold trinket to activate) to get the pearl things that combine with the hen eggs (that come from the annoying unavoidable egg birds) and the filigree (that comes from pigs) and apple sugar, which is hard enough to produce, and go in a 5800-coin bakery to produce a red filigree egg, and because my barn was full (from frantically creating all kinds of materials to make money and deliveries to afford the new craft buildings), the pearl things evaporated instead of going into my barn. 1000 coins, an hour each, effort to get the gold trinkets, and poof - nothing.

Consider that the Easter items are constantly appearing and crowding my barn and apparently valuable and yet not at all. Add to that the delivery demand for the plane and truck for items that are not available until far above my current level. Look at how hard it is to get almond milk alone. Then seriously, tell me how this is not too infuriating to be worth any more effort. It was a nice little pastime for a while, and then now it’s like another job.

I really don’t know why there are so many negative comments on here! Yes, there is an option to spend money to get things you really want/need, but WHAT GAME DOESN’T??!! I love Farm Story 2 because the graphics are fun, it’s easy to use, there’s always something to do, and it’s just plain relaxing and peaceful to me. The one complaint I do have, related to spending money, is when there are events. If I’m participating and it’s against other people who are also trying to accumulate points toward something, it should NOT be an option for them to BUY their victories! The last event was about spring clean up. We accumulated points in various ways and I was working my rear off, doing it fair and square. I only got 5th place out of the 20 total people in the contest. I got just over 9,000 points, but the top people obviously BOUGHT their victories. Cripes, the first place person had over 21,000 points! Like I said, I really worked hard at this, checking things throughout each day MANY times, even 3:00 in the morning when I got up to go to the bathroom! But I was more than doubled up on points??!! Yes, the creators should be entitled to make money on this great game, but let the people buy rewards AFTER the events are done, if they didn’t win and really wanted something, not DURING, screwing people over along the way. That’s my ONLY complaint. Otherwise, I love this game and will keep playing for a loooong time!

The game could be fun, really fun. I enjoy building my farm, interacting with my neighbors, and earning things without being forced to spend money. I’m not above shelling out a few bucks for a cool pet, but honestly the cost of playing this game successfully is outrageous and, frankly, not worth it. The contests are tiresome and fill my warehouse with junk that continually needs to be weeded out. Seriously, there should be an opt out button. The pop ups selling other games are endless and annoying. Then there are too many hard to produce items, like almond milk, that seem to be a necessary ingredient in everything but unless you shell out cash money for blooming almond trees, there is never almond milk. Finally, it is almost impossible now to put together an inventory for deliveries by plane, train or by truck, and the paperwork and gold bells necessary to grow the farm is scarce to non existent, or even useless. My reward for filling a truck is a collection of bells that have no purpose at my level or any level in the foreseeable future. I’ve yet to earn one gold bell, and I need three for a smokehouse.

You have taken an enjoyable , relaxing game and pretty much ruined it with unnecessary “extras” that appear to be all about lining your pockets. I’m realistic, I know this is about money for you, but your product suffers Shame!
