Is it just me?

This is EXACTLY the reason I don't like this part of the update. So, you got beat out on something you really wanted. Move on. You're really going to seek this person out and disseminate your vengeance on him/her?! What purpose will that serve? He/she is only guilty of being slightly faster than you. There will be other planks.

Lol I don't think u understood my humor. I can care less about who beat me to what. There are plenty of planks, bolts, tapes, or whatever in the sea. I was being sarcastic with my post...read it again

What's the point in achieving goals without bragging rights? Seeing others fishing diary no different than being able to see others achievements. If I had ALL the fish, of every weight, I would be proud of it and want others to see. Just my opinion.
On the subject of seeing who has purchased in shops, it doesn't bother me either way. I don't hate it or love it, and I don't really care who purchased what, but it doesn't effect my game so I don't mind.

Agree 100% with Tink here. Also there can't be anymore fishing lies now .

I feel exactly the same way. Now posters are going to call players out on the forum for buying something they wanted? Like they are saying "how dare you I wanted that". Do we really need this feature? A Simple sold sign perhaps across the item so that yes we know it was Actually there but is now in another players barn or silo.

Nope. They won't be doing that. That is a rediculous thing to do. Not only that, but there is no name and shame allowed on the forum, so anyone who is petty enough to do that will be reprimanded.

Meh I don't find them that much of an intrusion of privacy or anything. I guess I'm a bit of a snoop because I'm a very curious person. I have looked into a few peoples fishing books, it's not very interesting I admit but so what? it is there if you want to see someone's progress.

As for the avatars on shops, I like it...tells me if the item was really there and how many/what were there. It's interesting for me to also see which of my friends are selling stuff and what they are selling.

On the topic of raiding, everyone will do what they have to do. Personally I don't buy more than 2-3 items from friends shops at a time unless it is to help them clear wheat/eggs or help a low level make fast coins and hope they will also not raid my shop either so more people have a chance to get something. If someone is particularly annoying and constantly buys everything I simply unfriend them. That said, I believe newspaper shops are fair game. I feel if you advertise, you want to get rid of them asap so I do buy what I see.

Thanks Tink. Of course they won't. It's kind of a nanny nanny boo boo thing sometimes here is all. Petty stuff actually.

I have mixed feeling about the buyers' avatars in the shops. For me the ideal would be if they showed up but were grayed out instead of in color. Then the items for sale would stand out.

That's not a bad idea. It would certainly solve the problem for people having trouble.
I suspect however, that in time people will get used to it, and it won't be a problem anymore.

Wow, their post didn't say anything like that. They said they'd remember the name, period. I'd probably never forget the name FIDO, either.

I believe they have a no naming/shaming policy in the forum. Stating that a farm named FIDO, which she found memorable, beat her to the planks, isn't naming or shaming, she's stating a fact in her game play experience. If she'd remarked some creep named FIDO stole the planks, it would be a different story altogether.

That's what I thought, too. But I'm not unhappy with this feature.

I thought they meant the minor bug was how sometimes when someone would buy something their picture wouldn't show up, but other times it would. The new way seems completely different and nothing like the way bought item icons used to be.
