If im wrong tell me and give me logical proof as to why...otherwise...why arent we doing this?!?!?

I'll give you a hint.
Consider another player's perspective.
Scenario: When all other players' farm has been stolen.
Who is he going to steal from?
Another hint: Consider a small toy example.
5 players (A,B,C,D,E).
1 farm seed per player.
Work it out.
While working it out, consider players A,B,C,D,E's perspective individually.Officially retired from Wartune and Forums.

Example:
Players A,B,C,D,E.
1 Crop per player.
A steals from B,C,D,E and get 4 spirits.
A plants his own and got his stolen by B,C,D.
A gets 10 spirits from his crops.
Total of spirits A gets = 14.
B steals from A,C,D,E and get 4 spirits.
B plants his own and got his stolen by A,C,D.
B gets 10 spirits from his crops.
Total of spirit B gets = 14.
C steals from A,B,D,E and get 4 spirits.
C plants his own and got his stolen by A,B,D.
C gets 10 spirits from his crops.
Total of spirits C gets = 14.
D steals from A,B,C and gets 3 spirits.
D is unable to steal from E because E has been stolen 3 times.
D plants his own and got his stolen by A,B,C.
D gets 10 spirits from his crops.
Total of spirits D gets = 13.
E is unable to steal from A because A has been stolen by B,C,D.
E is unable to steal from B because B has been stolen by A,C,D.
E is unable to steal from C because C has been stolen by A,B,D.
E is unable to steal from D because D has been stolen by A,B,C.
E plants his crops and got his stolen by A,B,C.
Total of spirit E gets = 10.
Conclusion: D and E loses out while A,B,C gains.
You'll be happy if you're A,B,C.
But you won't be happy if you're D and E.
Your calculation is wrong because you only want to maximize your own profit, i.e you want to be A,B,C.
This is inherently selfish.

Its pure arithmetics actually, not maths, event is more than 20 days u only need 20 days. I ll do the calculation for u since its so efing hard.
20 * 10 seeds( all of u nagers get those) = 2000 spirits(per day) = new mount for every1 in 20 days
U get 10 seeds per crops no matter how many any of ur friends "steal" from u. So its prety obvious every1 gets the new mount even if they get ALL their crops "stolen".
U realy should grow up & learn that friends r more important than things.
I ve had "friends" who plundered me in more than 1 occasions. That really pisses me of & I never do it to friend. Guess thats ok for them.
I ve had "friends" who farmed my honour in bg. I never attack a friend in bg unless I know I m going to lose. I even let em cart b4 doing so.
Costing ur friend 400 honour per fight is still ok for some peeps. I had a particular "friend" who cost me more than 5k of honour. Guess that is also allowed.
"Stealing" all other crops bringing ur alts to do so is still ok.
But touch ur prescious ancient seeds & u go mad?
Very mature.
U should realy grow up & realise that even if all ur crops gets stolen u still get the new mount. U dont need to steal anything.
To conclude this realy anoying & silly controversy.....I have been calling on my crops both in world chat & guild chat. I wait for my friends to take 3 times then I collect. I will get the new mount & when I do so I ll stop taking those stupid seeds & I ll still call on my crops.
Those of u naging the most u ll b sry u took ur friends of ur fl. Even if u dont get a stupid mount (which every1 will, its a sure thing)think. What is more important a thing or a friend? Try to think harder than u allready did....use ur brain.
Its not "stealing" its sharing. Some of u claim to b christians. What did Jesus say? W/e has 2 should give 1 to the people who dont have any.

The event promotes and rewards aggressive tactics though. Condor's previous example enumerates this.

Ur problem is u r not good in taking. Don't h8 the player h8 the game. Just take off every1 from ur fl then no1 can take ur prescious plants.
But then who ll energise ur tree? Who ll take care of ur bugs & weed? Who ll revive ur plants?
Just take off every1 from ur fl b alone & hapy. U don't care about comunity. U only care about urselfs.
Peace out. Take a DEEP breath. & try to think. That thing u call a brain is not only for decoration.
What is more important? A friend or a stupid mount?
In all ur replies no1 mentions that. u guys complaining about people "stealing" ur plants. They r friends. If u dont want them taking any of ur plants then tell em so when u accept or send invite. Don't touch my plants. U can energise my tree. U can take care of my plants ( weed them debug them ) .
But if u take any I ll take u off fl. Do that & lets c how many will accept.
U r antisocial. Not gona post anything else if u have any brain at all u can understand . Its a game & farming & "stealing" is part of it.
Accept it & move on. Or just take my advice & take every1 off ur fl b alone miserable & happy.
It's not stealing it's sharing. When u grow up u ll understand.

BTW, if you can keep track which of your 200/250 friends to "not touch seeds/plants/++", then you're a God. I am not going to cross check some referenced spreadsheet when it comes time to harvest.
Also, please spell out more of your words when you post. It's amusing when you state aspects about a "brain" and "growing up" when you lazily abbreviate a quarter of the words in your last utterance.Last edited by KnowingEyes7; 04-12-2013, 07:26 AM.

The thing is if you don't steal, then you are categorically worse than if you did steal.

Seriously though, I'm surprised that people are complaining about this, but I think they're missing some points.
First, you can spend money to get the mount if you're short. You have two options to get the mount: steal or spend money. This is a step up from the previous events where you had to spend money to get the mount. If you don't want to steal to get the mount, that's fine - just spend money. If you don't want to spend money to get the mount, (for the first time ever) that's fine too - just steal. If you don't want to steal or spend money, well if you don't want to put in the time and effort (or money), why should you get the mount?
Second, this actually allows sharing. People are assuming that everyone wants the mount. That's not necessarily the case. I know some people who only want 1 or 2 pieces of clothing. In which case, that person has a surplus of spirits and someone else could use them. This is one of the few cases where we can actually help each other. Can't give socketing rods to friends to help their gear. Can't give astrals to friends who really needs it. But with spirits, there are some flexibility.
Third, if you don't like someone stealing from you, either steal it back from them and/or remove them from the friend's list (or ask them not to steal; it's really not that hard for the stealer to track. The hard part is getting yourself on 200 "Do Not Take" lists). In other words, there are some simple steps you can do to prevent or counter people stealing from you.
Honestly, complaining about a free way to get a normally cash-only item.

If in doubt, I plant one hour crops and rarely have to have them revived. Almost everyone complains about only being able to harvest a certain number from friends per day, so NO you don't have to hang around all day. After you reach your limit you can't harvest from friends anymore. Most of my friends reach their limit everyday and I doubt they play 24/7. They do have real lives lol.
