I noticed that the only time I know about someone "liking" my farm is when the game is off (which makes no sense to me) - is there a list somewhere? Or a quantity?
And it seems that a lot of farms are begging to be "liked"...is there a reward for that?
good question, I never understood why people want their farm liked so much, it has no effect on the game other than make people feel good about the work they put into their farm.
I have had a few people like my farm. I don't understand why tho, everything is randomly placed. :confused:
Ya I wonder what it is that people like about my farm too :)
I found that when I clicked to like a farm, it got posted on my Facebook page, so it's just free advertising for the game. To my knowledge there are no rewards for the player. I no longer click to like a farm as I got fed up seeing it on my Facebook page.Quote:

(Unless of course it looks neat or sells good stuff)
So it's not just me! Whew. I thought I was just a mean person for having such thoughts.Quote:

And it's a significant difference - by a couple hundred likes difference.
So now I'm convinced - asking for help decreases your chances of having your farm liked by others.
LOL-unfortunately-we might still be mean people-we just have each other for company. 😁Quote:

Saying that, I still mightn't use it even then as I hate the forced FB connect which occurs when you 'like' a farm, but from the scuzzy free advertising angle I reckon a 'thank farm' rather than 'like farm' button would create more promotional FB activity.
But on the plus side you can add me to your 'mean people' group - the idea of a 'dislike farm' feature has often crossed my mind when seeing farms called 'plzzzz follow/like me!' and suchlike, and I avoid visiting farms full of dead trees and bushes - they depress me so much. ;)
Lately I've also seen a growing trend of putting trees that needs to be revived right where the like button is at (on the right of the dock). First I thought it was a coincidence but then I've start seeing a pattern. Just a lonely tree or 2 cleverly placed so ppl accidentally press the like button. It's just so ridiculous I wish there was a guest book where I could write "Pathetic try.. Ur farm is ugly, DISLIKE!"
Talking about the the FB connect, I've changed the privacy settings so I'm the only person who can see Hay Day related posts. So if there is a cool I like or accidentally pressed liked on (again, losers ..), I'll be the only person it's visible for so my friends don't get bombarded by non-sense in the news feed.
Umm..I often move my trees/bushes to be revived to the right of the dock so that visitors who respond to my help flag don't have to trawl my farm looking for a hidden bush. Never occurred to me that this might cause a misclick on the 'like' button, I don't connect to FB so I dunno what my 'like' total even is.
Edit: Gonna suffer the FB connect just once to see if I got any 'likey' misclicky freebies mwuhahahhaha!
Oh no! U joined the dark side! Lol! I'm actually gonna disconnect FB after I achieve Boat Score Hunter III, right now every open crate helps but my useless FB friends never help with boats or do they ever share crates when they got an easy boats. So they'll have to go ..Quote:

Am I'm actually clicking nice farms for no point at all? :o
