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!
