Zynga admits that the Co-op Goal is truly impossible.

The power, water and time needed to fill the orders are close to impossible by them selves. That's no news to me. However, my co-op decided to go the extra mile to get the 200 favors  and...


It turns out that this is an inbuilt feature made by Zynga. Each member in a co-op can only fill 35 orders "to ensure that all players can contribute to the Co-op Goal". When the co-op needs to fill more than 35 orders per member there is no point in playing.

Note that we filled 109 orders out of 110. In our case we filled more than 35 orders each, but are still one order short of filling the goal.

Post Failed - Trying to Tell People About The Feed Bug


Yepp. Letting people know that Zynga still haven't fixed the bug that robbs us of our hard earned feed is abusive or spam. *eyeroll*


Feeding Trough / Animal Barn Bug

This is a very irritating and costly bug for the average user. If all your animals are hungry, as they usually are when you log on, and you use a feeding trough before feeding the animals in the Animal Barn, you will loose all your feed.

Example. Checking the barn it says that it needs 275 feed and your trough says that it needs 160 feed. Feding all animals in the trough and the barn should take 435 feed. In total you have 2216 feed and there should be no problem clicking on the trough and still have plenty of feed left. Wrong. Click on the trough and almost all feed will go to the Animal Barn. Then you'll have to make more feed for the trough.

 Stats before clicking on the Stable and Pig Trough.

Stats after clicking on the Satble and Pig Trough once.
The barn took 2200 feed instead of 275 feed and the Stable and Pig Trough still needs feeding.

Fishing

More inequality between accounts created by Zynga. This time it’s the fishing boats. Some accounts can now cast x5 bait at the time, others only x2. Then there are those who can only cast one, as usual. Zynga can blame a “slow rollout” all they want, but the difference between x5 and x2 can’t be explained by that.

Farmville 2 Bug Report Not Working

This is "brilliant". Now it's impossible to report the masses of bugs accuring
on the farm because Zynga is violating Google Drive's Terms of Service. This is the message you get when following the Bug Report at Zynga Support.

Post Failed

Post failed again. I thought it would be OK to post the link the moderators use to guide people to the Bug Report Page, but I was wrong. This is either spam or it's offensive. I'm guessing the later, Zynga seems to take offense when we try to help other users because Zynga don't.

Snow Owls

Cute, but I've never liked this type of quest. I find the critters mostly anoying and I still have unused owls in the inventory since the last time.

Post Failed

Ever tried to help people who have problems and turn to the Questions and Answers section of the Zynga Support? I get the "Post Failed" message more often than not. I never spam, I never curse or use inappropiate language. I've stopped my attempts to post links to Zynga pages that might help the person asking the question. Still, I get the "Post Failed" message.

What did I try to say this time? (The underlined part can be seen on the screenshot.)
"You can add an unlimited number of animals to your farm as long as they are not prized. Unlimited. I have 189 animals on my farm right now. It's a bug. It needs to be reported so that Zynga bothers to fix it asap."

Yeah, I copy my answers before I post them, just in case Zynga decide it's too hot to handle.

Zynga Moderators Not Helping (per usual)


This poor user have asked for help before, and not gotten it. Now they need help to figure out how to send a support ticket to get their cash back. (I assume that means Farm Bucks bough with real money.) The "helpful" moderator links them to... report a bug.

Lets look at what the page says, especially the text in red.

This user still have no way to get help since the moderator linked them to a page that will not help them send a support ticket. Brilliant. Not.

How to get rid of double buildings on your farm.

Some accounts have gotten an extra Workshop not long ago. I stored my and now have it in my inventory, but I've seen many acounts that have that extra workshop on their farm. It has no use, it only takes up space, but is impossible to remove. This has happened before with other types of buildings and will probably happen again.

Here's a link to the Zynga Players Forum that will help in removing the extra building.

Zynga Moderator Insult - Accidental Clicks that Sell or Buy Things

Time and time again I see people asking for help when an accidental click have made them buy or sell something they want to keep. This often happens because of lag or because of events suddenly happening on the farm. The suggestion to "slow down your clicks" has to be the most insulting advice I've seen so far. None of the advice I've seen has ever helped the person with the problem. (Not that I've seen them all.)

This is a huge problem since you can buy things you don't want with Farm Bucks. Personally I've lost 28 farm bucks when a lag caused me to buy some junk I did not want or need. Any help to get it back? No.

Animal Population Bug

Trying to draw Zynga's attention to the Animal Population Bug I was told that they are introducing a new feature, the Animal Barn, that will give the players space for 15 animals more. That's nice. However, no one listened to the issue at hand. We can add a seemingly unlimited number of animals to our farms at this point. To prove my point I've added 119 animal above the animal population limit.
Brilliant customer servce by Zynga per usual.

Impossible Task - Harvest 5 Wells

I've bought a water tower and now this task, and probably others like it, is impossible to finish. I've seen posts with people claiming to have contacted Zynga about it, but the issue still remains.
