If it’s for sale I buy it. I assume it’s for sale for anyone, if it’s lots of goodies, I buy lots of goodies. Maybe I’m a bad friend but I’m a bad friend with lots of goodies.

I agree it's an anti-raiding message. If I saw such a message, I would assume someone felt I was buying too many items from their RSS and would like for me to slow it down a bit and start only buying a max of 3 crates. I have seen similar on other farm names.
I have seen many. I have one in my friends tabQuote:

quite amusing, considering so many play without noticing farm name changes or not having English as their first language
If something is in a shop it is for sale.
If you only want friends or NH to buy don't advertise.
If you don't help others you won't go on their last helpers list.
I mostly sell at maximum price because you cannot control who buys from your shop.
When I have something for a specific person we arrange a system for them to buy.
This is a GAME played by people all over the world, a lot of whom don't speak English and most of whom don't visit the forum.
If the game allows you to do it - you can do it.
You're not wrong, but we are talking about unadvertised items that we only want friends/NH to buy. I'm totally fine with last helpers finding my stuff and buying it all. I'm even fine with the person who comes by often if they take everything. The "cleaning me out" isn't what bothers me.Quote:

For me, what it really comes down to is that many of my friends help me out, and I'd like to help out more than just one. Since there is no way to communicate with those people (for reasons you've listed), I have to post and hope for the best.
Thats kind of how I am. I fill my shop, no ad, for friends and neighbors. I don’t have a problem with someone that wipes out my shop. But like you stated, it’s when the same person wipes it out several times in a row, its like, come on, really? I get that once it’s in shop, anyone can take it, and I personally don’t want to restrict my neighbors to what they can take. So while it might bug me a bit, I just farm on. That’s about the only thing that bothers me, is multiple wipe out neighbors. Well also neighbors that do that, but never ever help my farm. Even if its just watering plants for me.Quote:

Yes, this is exactly how I feel about that. When I advertise I really don‘t care who takes what or how many.Quote:

I buy stuff most of the time at any price, I don’t look for bargains.
If there’s someone in my list having a “x crates only” rule, the only way I can follow that rule is to never visit their shop.
I won’t stay in front of a full shop and decide which 3 things I want most.
Well, every player has their own play style. I have no right to tell them how to play. But it's really annoying to be raided by the same farmer every day in 3 or 4 days continuously.
I have some of farmer friends having their farm's name to something like the OP has described too. They have their reason to do so. They are giving and receiving from friends. When someone raids them, their friends eventually cannot receive any more.
That why I love playing this game because that is the for-others-thinking of some players.
PS: It's nice to have on the list someone who always put wheat/corn on sale, other friend always put 5 random things on every single crates on his RSS, some sell sugary things. My turn, I provide stably shirts. And if I have my free time, I buy from the ads and put on RSS for others.
