People who are takers and don't return the favor

I have read posts about people who don't help others. Yet, they get help. I know this is just a game, but there are times a person can't load a boat on their own, or need trees and bushes done. I've had boats sit till last minuet because of no help. I also change farm name to boat is in or something to do with what boat needs. To those people who laugh and say they have followers and don't know why because they don't help others, kinda seems that that's the personality you hold in real life. So sorry for you, because when you need help, it may not be there. When I go through the paper here, I help who ever I can. And I like the farms that I buy and help. I also help the people who are on my lists. Kinda sucks you can only have so many people.

there are actually plenty of people like that in my game, i simply unfriend them. whats the point of keeping people who dont help? it works both ways.

But you don't know if they CAN help... I've come across plenty of boats where I simply don't have what the person is asking for. And I never fill dairy or sugar boats because I always need that for my own orders (but then, I never open those boxes for my friends to help either). The way I see it is; if you can and want to help me that's great! But you will also get Xp, money and boat score out of it so it's not a completely selfless act. And I may or may not be able to help you out and I will in return get points and money. But you can't really apply complete justice and expect everyone you help to always help you, the game doesn't work that way.

I agree. It is just a game. I am new to this. So don't ask for dairy or sugar. Hmm. Lately that's what I've been getting and I can't fill 2 dairy s at once and make it. Or when it calls for sugar and something that calls for that sugar. Guess I'll figure it out.

Unless I'm really well stocked on dairy or sugar I send that boat away before filling any boxes. It's just not worth it and I'd rather wait for the next boat.

Hi Lynae, did you know you can cast away boats you cannot fill? ;)

No I did not know. How do you do that?

There's probably others that could explain it better than me lol but I'll give it a go.
When your boat comes in do not open any of the crates. Tap on the boat icon to cast it off. It will ask you if you want to cast boat off..do so.

Before you fill or flag any boxes send like normally would. It ask you to confirm and click yes then will have to wait 3 hours for next boat. You can add me I make brown sugar all day long just to be able to help boats that need it. If I am not stuck selling everything I have for some new machine I fill boats all day I haven't even filled one of my own in a week now. Only 200 or so left for my co-op lll. Yay lol

Hi Lynae,
As earlier mentioned - it could be that you would like to help some of your GC friends but are unable because you do not have the necessary things. I try to help when I can, even if I have to go out and buy things to help other.

When I get help I often go to my helpers shop and buy something, just to say thank you. But it is not always they are selling anything. But when I can, I buy - even wheat - just as thank you for the help.

You are welcome to add me in gc - right now I do not have so much time to play, but when I play I help.

And it is a good idea to send boats away with sugar, cream etc.
