    Why do people do this….?

    When i'm doing 'wheating' it seems like certain people will buy every other wheat, are they trying to get rid of my ad?? It becomes so frustrating as it seems like 90% of the time they DO mange to take away my ad. Even if i raise the ad one up to 10 for $10 and get all the other at 10 for $1.. i still get that one person that will take that one (some by accident, others maybe not) I never understood why people did this? Anyone else have this problem?

    Have you considered that tablet displays 2 rows in RSS while phone only displays 1 row ?

    Every other slot in phone layout appears in the same row on tablet layout.

    I don't think there is really anything behind it, as no one knows where the ad is, only you can see that. It could be they are entertaining themselves in purchasing in a pattern...lol

    Don't sweat the small stuff , everyone plays differently And don't let peoples buying patterns get you frustrated, the bright side (there is always a bright side), your wheat is being bought and you can continue wheating

    Happy Farming

    Oh my gosh, really??? I DID NOT know that! That explains so much… I wasn't necessarily trying to accuse people of it, i was wondering if maybe that was why they were doing it. Didn't mean to offend.

    Agree with above, phone and tablet have different display....

    Plus, I'd be happy if one ad sells half of my wheat. What's really frustrating is when you have 20 slots full and one person just comes in and buy only one bundle -- the exact bundle that you put ad on, and it's not even in the last slot, it's quite in the middle . There is nothing you can do with coincidence like that

    I understand that one, has happened to me on many occasions. I always wondered if people could figure out were an ad was because of this.

    I didn't know that about the tablet either, makes sense.

    OP, I have felt that way too because sometimes a person will buy the last two or two randoms in the middle (especially it seems when I have ads on those) but the longer i play, I find myself in such a hurry to get through the ads that I will do this now too and it's not because I'm looking to get rid of ads, just coincidence for those times I'm sure

It is absolutely necessary for me to find it somewhere." -O. Wilde

    Exactly. I mainly play on my phone and was wondering for a long while why some players put stuff on every other slots... until one day I played on my ipad

    PS: From my own experience, I found if I need to sell a lot of same items in my RSS, putting the ads on the FIRST slot actually works better than the last. My guess is, because ppl will scroll to the end to see if I'm offerring something else. Then they will just buy the slots most convenient to them, i.e., the slots at the end of RSS because they are already there.
