I've often thought it's a shame there isn't a button in the rss that says 'thanks a lot, you've just helped me tons, ever so grateful' that you can hit when you find a shop that gets you out of a supply 'hole'.[/QUOTE
LOVE this idea! The thank you letters are good but sometimes you want to say an extra special thanks....
I didn't intend to start an etiquette thread, just wanted peoples' thoughts and opinions on this particular feature of the game and I do realise that this is JUST A GAME. So thank you everyone who has taken the time to leave their concerns and/or praises of this feature. We all play the game in our own way and sometimes have to amend how we play to get more enjoyment out of the game. However you play, happy Hay Daying and thanks.
Instead of a thank you for a special purchase, how about we gift them something? I am so grateful to some of my friends for selling me such wonderful items that a nice jam or cup of sugar is warranted, and it would be really nice if I could gift them this. I am going to post this in the Ideas and Features thread as well.
ditto here - I like the last helpers tab for exactly the same reasons:):) A thank you button would be nice too.Quote:

The LH button does take that away.
i did have a stalker who was very hard to track down - I wasn't able to do so until they followed me and I could delete them. And "No Raiders Pls" is in my farm name.
i just wish there were a way for those of us who want to offer certain things to neighbors vs. the general public to do so. My neighbors are so helpful that I like to make sure to have good things for them, too.
I really love the "last helpers" tab. While I realize that some people who play the I-don't-know-what-to-call-it-small-circle-of-friends type game that the original poster (Flijo) prefers occasionally pick up players that they consider to be pests in this way, for me it has been a way to form some mutually helpful co-operations that I would not have been able to establish in any other way.
But I find that the most useful feature of this "last helpers" tab it that it is a mechanism for forming a short list of currently active players. I have a problem in that, between friends and followers, I have about 200 neighbors. This is a great thing because it means that among them someone has their help flag out most of the time, and at any given time, at least several of them will be actively playing. However, figuring out who has something in their store but who does not need help is unwieldy, to say the least. So what I do is flag a tree, wait a few minutes, flag another tree, wait, and so forth. People drop by and collect their XP (and buy stuff from my store--yay!), and then I have a list of who is currently playing. This gives me a good idea who will have something for sale in their store, and who would be available if I am looking to trade something. Also, if you are communicating with someone by PM to set up a trade, the "last helpers" list is a lot more easily manipulated than the friends list.

Well this whole thread makes depressing reading in my opinion. It had never occurred to me, simple as I am, that people were so underhanded, manipulative, mersonary even, when playing such a lovely, on the face of it, innocent, game. Hay day is my first experience of gaming and I absolutely love it. I'm about to break level 43 and each day I get enjoyment, relaxation and escapism from it. When visiting someone's RSS I have only ever purchased the things I need. It never entered my head to buy everything just because I could! (This thread does explain why, when purchasing 4 out of 5 items in one person's RSS I was promptly unfriended - guess they thought it was a 'raid'.) Certainly I have visited farms in the DD that need help. I'm always grateful when someone helps me and in doing the same favour for somebody else I get to earn vouchers for the things I want for my farm. Again, it never occurred to me that I would put myself in the way of being 'abused' by so doing! When visiting an RSS, regardless of how I came upon it, I never realised that I may or may not be welcome to buy from it and now wonder for the future how I am to know? Potentially any purchase may offend!
For me this game I something I do for fun. I wrongly presumed that that's what everyone else was doing too!
Thumbs up Perkycox! LH is great in my opinion too. I'm with you. I put things in my shop to sell to anyone that wants to buy it.Quote:

On another point I am surprised this thread is still open!
