I play FarmTown and Millionaire City in Facebook. I enjoy the different aspects of the games and find Millionaire City to be my current favorite.
Things I dislike about the systems that are in place now for FarmVille, YoVille, FarmTown, etc...it takes too many clicks to get a gift from the giver to your place for it on your game. First you click on accept then click on send a thank you, then wait and click accept more, then you wait while the page reloads, then you click accept again and start the whole accepting thing again. Then you go to your game page and have to click on the gift box, then click on each individual gift in the box one at a time, then click where you want it to be placed, then go click on the box again and do the same thing over again, and again, and again. It can take nearly an hour if you have close to 100 gifts.
On Millionaire city you don't have a gift system, you can ask for a collectible but you will get it yourself if you are patient. You visit neighbors to click on only 5 house a day and can set your rents to be collected every 3 minutes up to every 3 days. It never boots you off if you are inactive for a few minutes either. I can have a tab open with MC open and go to every 3 minutes and collect my 175,000 in sales from the businesses and still go on a different tab to mamapedia, play another FB game such as Farkle or Family Feud. I can visit neighbors or not, it only serves me to do so, some other friend will eventually click on their houses if I don't.
I have tried many games on FB and found many that I don't like. Right now I finally unblocked FarmVille for Christmas so I could help my friends with their goals and send them Christmas gifts for their FV trees. I am already tired of opening package after package after package, up to 100+ one time of the same thing...shovels. I have no buildings going up so I am getting zero construction materials. All my buildings are fully expanded. So I have nothing needed except shovels for my cellar. But I still accept them so I can send back a thank you gift. I feel bad when I get over 100 gifts per day and because it takes too long I ignore most of them They might have really been looking forward to receiving that gift and needed it to give them any number of construction tools.
I also would like to see an Accept all/use all button on things that are not physically place on the farm, such as Christmas gifts, boards, nails, bricks, etc...if they could go to several places let the gamer decide how many of them go here and how many of them go there. Like the box pops up and says,send to barn, send to stable, send to Santa's workshop, click a number and when done click on accept. Like shovels...they could all be accepted at at once then could all be placed in the cellar by the dump truck.
And finally...it's a computer game not groceries...no one that has responsibilities will spend real money on a game that is just for fun. In this economy especially I cannot afford to buy anything not related to food or kids stuff. It can only make people like your game more if you allow them to change their winnings, whether it be dollars or coins, or points, for real money or cash in the bank to buy all the cute things the game creators think if they make it harder to get that the people will buy.
Thanks for asking.
