A question primarily to traders...
i have had a a few trades hijacked recently and am wondering whether just to cull my followers. I used to go visit them and buy stuff, help out, etc but increasingly they just raid your shop. My main concern is that many of them buy my wheat and it might not sell as fast but really, I have never had too much issues with selling 10/1
I don't trade but, personally speaking, I don't tolerate followers. They do NOTHING for me and just prevent me from ensuring that my goods go to the party that I intended them for. I follow a few 'beginner' farmers and try to transfer coins to them (10k a day) but have found that followers learn the routine (I use farm name changes) and come in and buy my goods for 1 coin when they MUST KNOW it is not intended for them. If farmers help me I leave them alone. They have done me a service so why would I want to try to harm them? Just my opinion.Quote:

I have select followers that I help and help me. If they tip the balance, raid shop or never help out I cull them. At the moment I have three followers that are great. Last week I had to remove the same shop stalker 7 times...
You do not know what they know. Whenever i see something i need i buy it. I usually have no idea what the price was. This game has taught me to be quick. So quick i sometimes buy what i do not need because the fingers are faster than the brain. By all means, delete them. Just do not imagine you know what they were or were not thinkingQuote:

Before I do, anyone see any down-sides to culling??
Overall, I like my followers :-) Perhaps I've just been blessed with good ones, but I had over 100 until I recently went thru and culled the ones who had gone inactive. A number of them buy my stuff (regular RSS sales) which is fine, and help my boats and plants. I've had someone swoop in and take something that I was giving a neighbor (wheat first, and last stall, so it was obvious) but it wasn't a follower...had to be someone from boat board or whatever. I love helping my followers back, too, and I often go thru them looking for help flags. I wish they would show up in the help needed tab, that would make it much easier!
How does a follower keep finding you after you have removed them??Quote:
