FarmVille Adds Instant Grow Option
Tweet |
Lots of FarmVille Freaks such as FarmVille Freak Shannon, FarmVille Freak CabbagePatchKid, and many more have noticed that FarmVille has added the option to apply Instant Grow directly on your farms.
Instant Grow has the ability of growing your crops or trees from 0% ready to 100% ready to harvest in just one click of your mouse. For the first time this gives you the option of purchasing Instant Grow for crops or trees. However, this instant gratification will cost you Farm Cash so don’t get too excited!
When you mouseover any planted plot or tree that is not yet ready to harvest, you will see a small text pop-up that says “Click to apply Instant Grow”. After clicking on the seeded plot, you will see another pop-up bubble that says “Apply Instant Grow”. This triggers another pop-up menu that will let you select exactly what you would like to apply Instant Grow to, you will have the option of choosing crops or trees (or both). At this point you can cancel your Instant Grow purchase or purchase it for Farm Cash. Because there are confirmation pop-ups that follow after you click, there is no need to worry about accidentally purchasing Instant Grow because of it’s in-your-face placement while you are farming.
Instant Grow Costs
*Note, the cost of Instant Grow varies. The cost is relevant to how ready your crops or trees are. For example, if your crops are at 0% then it will cost more as opposed to being 50% ready.
- Example: Instant Grow Crop – 3 Farm Cash
- Example: Instant Grow Tree – 7 Farm Cash
What do you think of this new upgrade to Instant Grow? Will you be purchasing any for your farm?

“What do I think of this upgrade to Instant Grow?”
Not much. I think it’s a way to get people to use FC accidently.
“Will you be purchasing any for your farm?”
No. I’ve never been in any rush to master crops or trees.
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 1:05 pm
another click you have to do…do not like it—-!!!!!!
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 1:06 pm
I really love Instant Grow. Cool idea!!
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 1:08 pm
Money making racket!
Accidently clicked on it while harvesting my trees, would need 245 FC to apply intrant grow to them all, wow!
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 1:08 pm
no, dont like it, what if i accidentally click on it, will i be made to pay for it ?
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 1:08 pm
It is quite stupid! There is no way I would pay that much for instant grow! It sure does look like they like the thought of accidental clicking! Zynga is getting quite annoying!
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 1:08 pm
This feature is about as useful as a hound who won’t hunt! I have only very rarely paid to “instagrow” my crops using the biplane… when a co-op was running out of time and a member forgot to harvest. Other than that, though, what the heck is the rush? Not worth FV cash… maybe I’d use it once in awhile if it could be purchased for coins (since I have over 38 million right now LOL!).
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 1:10 pm
Useful? Only to those who want to pay with cash.
I think it is yet another stupid idea.
How about fixing those gosh darn bugs already? Or how about bringing us the long awaited genealogy for sheep and pigs??
I’d prefer that.
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 1:10 pm
Sorry,I don’t like this. I have planes on both farms if I want to buy instant grow. I’m not that impatient that I “need” it right at my fingertips!
But….please,please fix the mobile FACEBOOK on iPhone 4. No live news feeds of gifts of neighbors at all. None since 4/7/11…week of FACEBOOK “update”.
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 1:11 pm
did I read that right…that’s 3FVCash per Plot to InstaGrow ONE Plot?
if so……..hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha…funniest thing I’ve heard all day.
(p.s. I sure hope I read that wrong, but don’t think I did). sigh………
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 1:11 pm
And what of the planes?
Seems like yet another move by FV either lull their players to sleep or cause them to fly off the handle and away from FV.
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 1:12 pm
Oh this sucks! Another way Zynga is trying to steel us!
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 1:14 pm
That’s it. I’m done. Between this, the nerfed breeding, the stupid quest collectables, the effort it takes to master crafts, jacked tree prices, pop-ups, and out-of-sync errors, I’m done.
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 1:16 pm
stupid idea how about they fix bugs and give us more things that we can buy with coins instead of everything being fv cash… -_-*
or give us a land upgrade or give us more crops to master.
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 1:17 pm
Absolutely NOT. Not in any big hurry to harvest crops and I have better thing sto spend Farm Cash on than Instant Grow. Maybe if they’d lower their prices more people would be inclined to go for it.
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 1:17 pm
Just a real bad idea. I like a nice relaxing game, not having to stay alert all the time.
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 1:19 pm
Maybe this is a foreshadow of something we can craft in our new shop.
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 1:19 pm
Just another stupid way to make money for Zygna!
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 1:20 pm
There should be a way to buy instant grow, unwither all, and fertilize all for coins.
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 1:21 pm
INSANE, They are insane!!!
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 1:22 pm
You could apply Insta-grow on 13 orchards, with one tree in each for only 1 FV cash now its down to only 3 orchards, looks like my mass tree sharing days are over.
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 1:25 pm
This is just a really stupid idea – especially given the price! Perhaps if it were, say, 1 FC per 10 plots, I might, under extreme circumstances like gold medalling a crafting job, consider it… but, on the whole, this is just dumb.
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 1:29 pm
i cannot purchase anything with farm cash as i do not earn enough to do this–i refuse to spend good mony to by virtual farm cash i only use coins that i earn to purchase anything. so since many things are only for farm cash i do not buy them it is only a game i get no real benifit from it
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 1:34 pm
Instant grow is awesome. I never use it on trees because it costs more FC and I only use the spray when needed for quests or co-ops. It would be great if Zynga could allow us to craft instant grow sprays in our crafting building. I doubt they’d for that but it would be nice if they did.
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 1:35 pm
tis weer betalend zene
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 1:36 pm
no i dont like it at all it wasnt hard to go to the gift box and click once for all of them or click and pay for all at once why would you want to do one at a time ????????????
are they running out of ideas of things to do i got a suggestion then how about spending this time on fixing the bugs that mess everyone up im still getting white sheep no matter what i put in the pen how about that fix the old stuff we already like instend of thinking dumb stuff like this
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 1:39 pm
I DO not like it, and find it annoying. Most of the time, instead of using Arborists, I like to manually scroll over my trees and if I see a 2nd line, I know they’re grown and I click on them. Now, with this Instant Grow line, I have to read each one to see if it is ready or the Instant Grow Message. PLS REMOVE IT, at least for the trees.
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 1:40 pm
It is a neat idea — I’ve often wished I could instant grow just part of my cropland, or just one or two orchards…. BUT IT’S WAY TOO EXPENSIVE now that it looks like that’s an option!!!
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 1:46 pm
this is the most outrageous idea they have come up with to date and i am pro farmville all the way..
BOO ZYNGA on this one.. you guys better go back to the drawing board. We might be little mice in your psychology project but none of us are this stupid.
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 1:49 pm
Really, really, really, NOT WORTH EVEN REPLYING TOO. NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 1:53 pm
yeah, my first thought was woah i need to be really careful now -i do like that insta grow is available, but i think many of us – as posted several times already – are gonna be uncomfortable with the risk of using it accidentally. so i vote NO to this new method. i love farmville! i don’t always like everything they add or take from the game. that’s ok with me.
THIS ^ MY FELLOW FARMERS IS JUST ONE EXAMPLE OF HOW TO EXPRESS YOUR OPINION LIKE A CIVILIZED ADULT!
i cannot STAND all you whiny complainers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please go away.
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 1:54 pm
Per (plot) and per (tree) NO WAY!
Per whole (field) maybe under certain circumstances
Per (all trees ready) maybe under certain circumstances
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 1:54 pm
Just when I thought they couldn’t get any greedier…
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 1:55 pm
The cost is not only relative to how much time is left until harvest. It’s also relative to how many plots you have to harvest.
So those who are saying, “they raised the price to XX FVC”, you aren’t grasping how the price is calculated. It’s not the same every time you click, and it’s not the same for every farm, since the number of plots, trees and time remaining until harvest varies for every farm.
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 1:57 pm
Why is it they always want FC…Then there CRAZy priced for there Farmcash you know you can Go play FarmTOWN and the cost are lower and You get MORE farmcash!…yep ill keep to buying Farmcash from Farmtown and not from Farmville! btw Your instent grow Prices ARE FREAKING CRAZY n u only give 1 fv cash per level up.. but yet it takes for ever to level up! Again FARMTOWN ENJOY MY REAL CASH farmville you wont see a dime from me
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 2:03 pm
I think this is an improvement, because for those who want to use instant grow, they can do that now without having to purchase a plane, or have a plane taking up space on their farm.
I just checked out how it works, and the “accidental clicking” scenario is unlikely, since if you do click “apply instant grow” by mistake, you get a pop-up that asks you to confirm your choice. And you get the option to apply it to plots only, trees only, or both, just like you do if you’re using one of the planes.
I really don’t see this as a ploy to get people to accidentally spend FVC. Unless you’re REALLY stupid, that’s not going to happen. It’s a convenience for someone who wants to use instant grow, and doesn’t want to bother with buying or storing one of the planes.
I like it.
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 2:07 pm
I just read some of these comments. As usual, some of you people are ridiculous, and way over-reacting to this.
Get a life, FFS.
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 2:09 pm
Ok i just went to my farm and my 6 hour crops tiny bit of land about 150 plants are at 97% they wanted 10FV cash!!! so then i went to my VERY large Farm about 800-1,000 plots also 6 hour crops were at 96% they wanted 10FV cash were b4 that small field would have been about 1 fv cash and the other one would have been about 3 or 4 this is crazy!! Fv has lost there mind Lay down your crack pipe owners of FV…. Gas prices are high!! and now your prices have went even more CrazyER then that!
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 2:20 pm
I don’t like this way of tricking money out of us, i’m patient enough to let the crops grow ‘naturally’. I will be furious is this looses me my precious farmcash by accident. I don’t think I will be be getting any more farmcash and will be leaving my balance at zero. Well done zynga,you muppets.
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 2:20 pm
it would be better idea if farm coins were an option
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 2:22 pm
@Tasha….that’s odd, because I just checked on my farm, my 500 plots of a 6 hour crop that is 48% ready, and the cost was only 3 FVC to apply instant grow to all the plots. That did not include trees.
So you’re either reading something wrong, or you’re lying to help feed the over the top stupid drama on this thread. Gee, I wonder which it is.
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 2:36 pm
That is NOT the price per plot, or per tree, and you CAN’T apply instant grow to part of your crop, or some of your orchards.
The price that comes up when you click “apply instant grow” is to instant grow ALL your crops, or ALL your trees, or both.
They found an easier way to use instant grow, than flying the planes. But they can’t fix stupid.
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 2:44 pm
customer service said that the insta grow was ffor crops or trees so I was going to use it but it is for 1 tree or one plot of crops that is all. These greesdy Zynga people want 5 farmcah now to grow 1 tree are they insane? Fix the game could you possibl do that? I can’t gift I continually get error messages when I harvest my trees so none gets a watering can a seedling a tree coiins for the orchards nothing but a kick in butt . FIX THE Errors farmville i am going to start a petition of people that are having any issues still. now they put out that crafting building for what MORE ERRORS A BIGER HEAdache I Quit until this game is fixed.
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 2:55 pm
hahaha …. go on people, keep spending your money on this game. i’ll bet that zynga will SCREW YOU OVERRRRRR too one day
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 2:57 pm
Does not work properly…FC required does not decrease as it should..locks in at one amount and stay the same no mater what % of crop is grown..I will not be using it..
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 3:07 pm
Maybe they could redeem themselves by giving us the ability to craft our own instant grow? In our new building that just sits there and does nothing…Also someone like me might hit the instant grow by mistake and waste farm cash. I don’t like it much.
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 3:13 pm
@Beverly Koop….you’re wrong. You can’t apply instant grow to one plot. When you click on one plot, and choose “apply instant grow”, you get the same pop-up that you would if you clicked on a bi-plane. The prices shown are for growing ALL crops or ALL trees, not one plot or tree.
@Marianne Messick…..it’s working properly for me. It works just like it does when I click on the bi-plane. And the price decreases as I the crops and trees get closer to harvest. It hasn’t locked at all.
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 3:18 pm
@Amy….there is nothing they need to redeem themselves for. Except for the promo and collection freebies they sometimes offer, instant grow has always cost FVC to use. No one is required to use it to have a complete, functioning farm, and play the game and complete all masteries.
You’re not going to get unlimited supplies of instant grow for free, and there’s no reason you should.
The new method of applying instant grow is not a trick, and the way they’ve designed it, no one is going to “accidentally” part with their FVC.
95% of the people commenting on this thread are full of crap.
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 3:21 pm
they did so hijack the price so yes this is total bs !!!!! it use to cost 1 fc for 13 trees!!!!!!!!!!now its charging 5 fc for 1 tree so dnt tell me to stop the rumors !
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 3:22 pm
it is so a trick because they hijacked the price n dnt tell me they did not !
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 3:27 pm

It want’s to insta grow my trees – how do you just move them now? This is AWFUL!
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 4:35 pm
Farmville is too full of annoying pop-up as it is! In fact most of the time there are pop-ups in front of pop-ups and it locks the game up. I can not believe this. PLEASE farmville just make the game work and STOP with all this other stuff.
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 4:38 pm
Oh Good! Another pop-up to slow us down and try to get us to accidentally spend real cash!
What I would like to have is the ability to turn individual pop-ups off. This would be among the first to go on my farm.
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 4:41 pm
I hate pop ups of any kind!!!! I absolutely hate the unwither pop up, I have accidentally hit that a couple of times when I have been in a hurry to replant my withered crops. If I wanted to unwither my crops I am not an idiot I can go to the market all by myself cause I’m a big girl now!!! Half the time the game freezes when I get pop ups, it’s just ridiculous. I can’t afford to buy farm cash nor would I want to spend what I do have on instagrow when I have millions in coins that rarely get used for anything other then plowing and planting. The only time instagrow comes in handy is for crops that take over a day to grow and I could care less if I master those crops. It’s just another pop up to irritate me more then I already am. I won’t be using it so why the H*LL should I have to deal with another pop up like the stupid unwither popup???? Those people who think this is a great idea are just plain and simple LAZY and it will just frustrate the majority of us who won’t use this feature!!! It’s one of the worst idea’s since the unwither idea that Zynga has come up with!! People have been increasingly leaving the game since the feed limits were introduced, then the sheep and pig breeding BS on top of all the other problems with the game and I don’t blame them. Zynga has sucked all the fun out of the game with all their stupidity and to be perfectly honest I could care less about the game anymore which has made it very easy for me to quit!! The sheep and pig breeding was the last straw!! The weather is great, summer is coming and I’m going to find my fun in the real world. Zynga can kiss my BUTT on my way out the door!!!
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 5:30 pm
What’s the point of having a biplane now?
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 6:00 pm
OMG! I am furious with this. For those of you whom dont know….like some of you have said above…you could harvest 13 trees…have one in 13 different orchards and instantly grow them for 1FC!!! Now they want 3 because they caught on that alot of people were getting seeds for the level 2 trees so not as many were being bought from the market. Total BS, just another money hungry move by Z*N*G* which Im pretty positive they will regret because I know I was not the only one that used this method to master trees faster and get seeds to be able to share trees with friends! Absolutely disgusts me because I know they did not do so ANYTHING would be easier for us as they say is why they did it…they did it purely because people were getting up to 5 seedlings for a level 2 tree for 1FC…which in the market 5 of the level 2 trees would cost you 50fc!!!!Greed thats all point blank.Makes me sad because I love to play.Oh well, should of been expecting another move like this from them.Hopefully theyll wake up and realize that HOPEFULLY NO ONE will pay the 3FC for their trees anyway…considering up until now it only costed 1FC.Feel sorry for all of my neighbors who depended on me to get them their level 2 trees since they cant afford FC.Grrrrrr…….Im more upset about this one than I have been about some of the other crap happening lately!!!
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 6:35 pm
How sneaky, Zynga. Really. Just about the time I think you’ve stooped as low as you can to wring money from players, you come up with a new plot.
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 7:13 pm
I have decided to use this — AS SOON AS I WIN THE BIG LOTTERY!!!
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 7:42 pm
Well either my farm is broken or whoever is giving the information that you can fertilize individual plots is dead wrong and has incited a near riot with bogus information. As Karen said, nothing has changed except that they ask if you want to apply instant grow when you scroll over the plots. Click on it and it takes you to the same pop-up you get when you click on the planes(s). You get the price for the field. Do you really think Zynga is going to ask people to pay $19 per plot? You can no more click on this by accident than you could before….provided you take the time to read.
Why is it that so many people who play this game look for something to gripe about at the drop of a hat? If you feel like you are being mistreated in any way, do what any reasonable person would do…..quit playing. Or is it just that you need something to complain about?
Karen, you are the most reasonable person I have seen put up a post on one of these forums in a LONG time.
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 8:04 pm
yea so all of us on smokn crack when we clik our biplane to instant grow 1 fu**n tree it cost 7fc !!!!!! yea keep sukn zyngas nutsak u n karen

b ut i can reallt care less when i have over 200 instant potion n over 50 avg planes in my giftbox lol zynga can suk it real sloppy
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 8:21 pm
the new price is awful for forcing trees – and I hate having that pop up notice every time i hover over a plot.
I’m an avid tree collector and orchard forcer but not anymore – my neighbors aren’t going to be getting to enjoy my filling up my orchards with brand new trees anymore
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 9:16 pm
but according to karen we are all lying theres no such increase lol
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 10:15 pm
they really raised the price, when I plant 2 hour crop, when it reached maybe 60 + % ready, I used to pay 1 FC now its 3 FC. Zynga you do not even announced your greediness, Zynga is sneaky too.
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 10:32 pm
It’s a free game unless I choose to spend my own money on it so I can’t really complain, but I do like to use the instant grow sometimes. I’m experiencing the same issue others are though with the price being stuck at a set amount. I went to try and finish up some lemon balm for about 150 plots thats at 85% and it’s telling me I need 10FVC. I checked my EC farm and I have 400 plots at 12% and it’s also telling me 10FVC so I’m thinking it’s just a glitch. To bad I didn’t have something like Watermelons planted, then it would actually be an awesome deal.
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 10:52 pm
I HATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Since I often have to drag my farm around the screen to see this side or that, NOW I have this annoying thing asking me if I want to insta-grow my crop. If I wanted to insta-grow my crop I would do so with the plane. And if you accidentally click it.. NO Zynga will not return your FC. Been there done that with the stupid pop up that comes up over the avatar asking if you want to change its clothes. I wrote them a very clear email of what happened and they sent me a generic response that had nothing to do with what I wrote them about. I agree with those who think Zynga should fix what is broken instead of adding more and more crap. I also believe Zynga thinks we are all stupid and this is another way they can get money from us. I will NOT be paying for insta-grow to grow my crops. Just as I DO NOT pay to un-wither my crops if I get to them too late. IT’S A GAME… losing a few coins isn’t the end of the world. Paying REAL money to un-wither fake crops is ridiculous. UGH, I am really getting sick of this game. It use to be fun and relaxing, now it is becoming a huge pain in the a$$!
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 11:10 pm
Wow, way to make the “game” pointless. Pay for instant gratification. Where is the challenge? Oh yeah, if you happen to have money to throw away for absolutely no reason.
Posted on May 12th, 2011 at 11:39 pm
@Fa1l2d…..I didn’t say you were lying. I said you were wrong. There’s a difference.
I can’t tell if they’ve increased the price. I didn’t comment on that. I just pointed out that some people were wrong, in the way they were calculating the price, or assuming it was a price per plot or tree. Because it’s not.
Your reading comprehension is as bad as your math.
Posted on May 13th, 2011 at 12:03 am
I was just on my farm, harvesting and planting, and then dragging the farm around the screen to get some things done.
People are way exaggerating about this getting in the way. It doesn’t. When I hover over planted plots, there is no pop up. There has always been writing that comes up on the screen when I hover, that tells me what’s planted, and what percentage of growth has happened. Now there’s an additional line when I hover that says, “Click to apply instant grow”. But no pop up.
When I drag my farm around the screen, by holding down the mouse button after placing my cursor on a planting plot, there is no pop up. I can drag my farm all over like that, and those pop ups don’t appear.
I only get the pop up if I click on a plot, and take my finger off the mouse button.
And then there’s the confirmation pop up, if you actually do click on the initial pop up. There’s no way someone is going to accidentally apply instant grow if they don’t want to, because of this change.
Get over it, people.
Posted on May 13th, 2011 at 12:22 am
In order to accidentally spend FC on this new Insta-grow feature, you have to accidentally click THREE SEPARATE TIMES. If that is something that may happen to you, you have bigger problems than Zynga raising the prices of instantly growing your virtual trees.
I’m willing to bet the rollover message goes away after a short time, when everyone (and by everyone, I mean the other people in the universe. Yes, you are not the only person) has had time to see it.
Orchard stuffing was/is not meant to be a regular, sanctioned part of the game. If you were able to stuff in a manner that made you happy for a while, by all means, be happy. If you now find the prices to be too high to stuff with abandon, you need to keep in mind that raising the prices is the creator/developer/designer/owner’s prerogative. It is YOUR prerogative to not use that feature. Or to not play the game. Your choice. I’m happy during the times we can collect double gifts, but I am not going to email facebook or Zynga and ask them to un-do a glitch fix when the ability goes away. I have too much self respect for that.

@Karen It’s not just the fact that it you can click on the insta-grow by “accident” It’s mainly the fact that they raised the lowest amount from 1FC to 3FC for crops and I’ve even heard 5-15FC for orchards (I’m not sure as I never do my orchards). Now at a glance some may say that is nothing, BUT if you look at the people that insta-grow their orchards multiple times a day for example (to share new trees with neighbors) it tends to add up. This should be placed into the category “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. They should have just left it alone. I think people have EVERY right to be upset because even though it is FC it is still bought with REAL money, so yea, I think they have a right. It’s not overreacting it’s voicing their dislike for a product that they are investing in. I also feel the need to point out that you are being VERY hypocritical by saying that no one has a life here, yet you seem to be on here more than anyone else. You think I’m going to come back to see what you call me? Ummmmm NO…..I have better things to do, and for calling that other person a moron was ABSOLUTELY uncalled for, and you wonder why he/she got defensive? I think you need to be a little more understanding, and you need to look at things from other peoples points of view instead of just calling them names or telling them their wrong. Who are you?
and Stupidloather…….Must there be two of you? I think there MUST be something else for you to do instead of hiding behind your computer and berating people and jumping on the Karen bandwagon. Some people don’t like change. You like things the way they are good for you. Just because someone sees it diffrently doesn’t mean you have the right to berate them:)

Why is everyone getting so pissy on Zynga for looking for different ways to make money? They created a game where for the most part if you want to you can play it for free, I know SEVERAL people that play it without paying ANYTHING, so don’t they deserve to make some money if someone wants to buy something that they are selling for FV? Personally Im not going to be doing this, but thats my choice. How many of you guys here that are BITCHING AND MOANING about Zynga trying to make money on this would produce a game yourself and have EVERYTHING for free? Please answer that, and dont worry I wont hold my breath as I would be willing to beat ANYTHING that the answer is NO ONE here would!

Ridiculous expensive!!
I sometimes used my plane, but this instant thing is all over for me. It’s getting more and more focused on getting FVC from us.
Posted on May 13th, 2011 at 1:04 am
@Todd
We see what Karen is saying differently. You call it having a bandwagon and I call it being rational. Please don’t berate me for that.
“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” only works if you are the one who thinks “it ain’t broke”. If Zynga thinks it’s broken, it’s theirs to fix. If enough people calmly, collectedly, and intelligently express their dissatisfaction to Zynga, they may be heard. Berating Zynga just makes them a mockery.
I have done many other things today, and right now, I’m doing this. I’m not hiding. My name is Leslie, and I loathe stupid.

I don’t see any issues with the insta-gro feature – you DO have to click three times to apply it, after all – it doesn’t happen by accident, like the clothes for the avatar can. I DO agree that there are too many pop-ups, however. When I go to my farm and just want to check the readiness state of something, I don’t like having to wade through 3-5 screens of pop-ups to get to the farm! and one of my pet peeves is having pop-ups interrupt my harvesting or planting, the ‘share free fuel’, especially. I like to click on those for the benefit of other players, but then I have to go back to the store and get my stuff I’m planting all over again. Those screens should NEVER come up until I have finished or been inactive for over 1 minute. And as far as paying real money to unwither or harvest virtual crops — PUHLEEZE!! This IS a game, folks!! I don’t know about anyone else, but I REFUSE to spend real money on imaginary items!! (LOL!!) I DO have a real life, after all~and lots of real places to spend my real money!

INSTANT CROP GROW. What? $3.00 for a CROP ha ha ha !!! Anyone catch what I did???
ZYNGA DID NOT US A (S) AT THE END OF CROP THAT MEANS $3.00 for ONE PLOT and $7.00 for ONE TREE…
if this is true. why not use the plaine its much less farm cash then $3.00 per plot X’s 200 300 400 plots OMG…
Posted on May 13th, 2011 at 1:33 am
Working on having 30 ‘forcing’ orchards. if the price doesn’t go up ( and at 22 orchards thus far set to ‘force’ it is still sitting at 3 for a flight of the plane) then I’ll still use the instant feature on trees since at 30 orchards if it stays at the 3 fvc then it will be technically at the old price. Just will take requests from neighbors for level 2 trees, and then fill in around the new level 1 tree (and accumulated level 2′s) as I used to. It will make for slower going but still possible to do. Going to be bouncing the one tree through 30 orchards rather than 10 at a time. … Fun? lol probably.
Posted on May 13th, 2011 at 1:35 am
Well I’m glad you cannot accidentally do it, and a second pop-up appears to confirm. That is a relief.
Especially since my son was just doing his farm, making piglets, while talking to me, and lost farmcash due to accidentally clicking on a pop-up.
He started with 52 potions, and I guess he added 4 potions instead of 5, and it asked him if he wanted to pay 1 farmcash to add another, and he clicked “okay” not really paying attention to what he was doing. He said he thought it was asking him something about breeding the pigs. He got quite unhappy when he realized what he did.Luckily it was only 1 farmcash wasted. I was surprised myself that it did that, especially when he had all those potions. Now I am going to make certain I don’t make the same mistake.
I know a lot of people paid for the English Countryside because they knew they didn’t have enough friends to click. They were really unhappy when they found out they didn’t have to pay farmcash for it, but the way Zynga worded it they thought that was the only way to get the second farm. They had no idea Zynga meant everyone was going to get it eventually, but if you get friends to help, or buy it with farmcash, you’d get it immediately.
I think our lesson is pay attention, or… “Constant vigilance!”

OOPS ZYNGA DID NOT *USE* A (S) AT THE END OF CROP THAT IS ONE PLOT
CAUGHT MY MISTAKE THE WORD IS USE NOT US SS PLAYERS/FRIENDS
Posted on May 13th, 2011 at 2:00 am
This is so dumb…the biplane gave us the ability to instantly grow our crops and trees long, long ago…without annoying popups. Do FV programmers stay up all night figuring out how many ways they can annoy us? Let’s see…
1) add a few non-farmville players in the list that the user has to check to return gifts from the farmville opening page.
2) pop up as many possible annoying boxes while user harvests. You have X amount of bushels!! You don’t have room in your flower cart! You surpassed a neighbor – do you want to send her a “HA! I am ahead of you- here’s a small can of fuel
” More collections!
3) Oh and I have this one…somewhere on my farm I have one plot that I can’t find but it apparently has withered and FV asks me everytime I go to harvest if I want to purchase an unwither for this plot that is playing hide and seek with me.
4) the new “Dismiss your neighbor’s help…done now? go to his farm? do you feel really guilty? Good, we want you to be on FarmVille 24/7″ Okay, it doesn’t say all of that but close enough
5) Look! you can insta-grow now. Nevermind that you always had that option with the biplane. We want your FV Bucks
6) Breed sheep…but be careful. There were illegal sheep going around and if you breed one of those by mistake you are going to waste your love potion and bottles on a white sheep.
I am sure there are more…I’m not even counting the fact that every time FV can’t catch up to what you are doing it says “FV has been enhanced…please refresh” It hasn’t been enhanced! You are just deleting things or moving things faster that we can keep up with you! Enhanced…they need a dictionary. Check out the meaning of Enhanced FV programmers!! You will be surprised that it says nothing about the fact you didn’t anticipate a user doing whatever this user is doing so we need time to catch up.
LOL ….and yet….we continure to play….pretty humorous that something that annoys me that much I still play.
I love FarmVille….really, I do. But please….try not to annoy me Zynga. I’m tired. I have been farming all day long……

Oh, I just scrolled up….I forgot the clothes for the Avatar!! I own more danged clothes that I didn’t mean to buy!! And I paid for some lucky pennies I didn’t mean to buy….the joys of FarmVille. Thanks Cheryle for reminding me of the avatar and clothes.
Posted on May 13th, 2011 at 2:07 am
i personally will probably never use the instant grow unless it is my free one that is still sitting in my gift box.
this game is not that serious so all this arguing cracks me up.
i dont even know what a ‘forced orchard’ (or whatever its called) is…i just grow trees and master them as they grow in their orchards…same with my crops on the fields
i dont want to make things go or grow faster becuz thats just not the point of the game. i wont buy my way up (like my husband) and i just dont think spending all my time and money on a virtual game makes sense becuz i have kids and dogs i can spend that on.
@Karen and stupidloather, i totally agree with both of you =o)
Posted on May 13th, 2011 at 2:14 am
TO ALL FRAMVILLE PLAYERS AS WE ARE ALL SICK AND TRYIED OF THERE GAMES I BELEAVE WE SHOULD ALL STICK TOGETHER AND SAY AS FROM JUNE 1ST WE SHOULD ALL STOP PLAYING THERE GAMES FOR ONE WEEK BETER STILL 2 WEEKS JUST TO SHOW THEM IF THAY DONT STOP THIS CRAP WE WILL ALL LEAVE AND FROM NOW ON DONT EVER BUY FV CASH WITH REAL MONEY PLEASE PAS THIS ON AND PUT IT ON FACEBOOK TOO
Posted on May 13th, 2011 at 2:51 am
As has been already figured out, this doesn’t allow growing individual plots/trees—just another way to access the same thing you can access with a plane/UFO, etc. What it DOES change is that players that don’t have a plane can access the dialog (I tried it on an account that doesn’t have one).
And, yes, it does feel like another trap to accidentally spend $FV, but you do have to click through multiple boxes to actually spend anything, so I don’t think it’s that likely unless you let a kid who isn’t old enough to know better do it—but then you probably shouldn’t put much $FV in that account either, eh? There’s plenty of other easy ways to spend it “accidentally.”
Posted on May 13th, 2011 at 3:03 am
This site is to state what you feel, and maybe to release your bad feelings from the game, but some people have no manners to say bad things to other people, berating Zynga is okay because it is just a name of a company who does not have feelings. Defending Zynga is fine but saying bad things about others does not show you are smart, it shows you did not learn good manners and respect.
Posted on May 13th, 2011 at 3:45 am
meredith a ‘forcing/forced’ orchard is one where you put in one tree (and you do this with several to get the most bang for the buck (or fvc as it were) out of running an instant grow. by putting one tree in the orchard you cut down on the cost for the instant grow, and you know exactly what seedlings come out. some people (such as myself) will do this multiple times to fill an orchard and gift neighbors with trees. Until this change your best bet was to have 10 orchards with 1 tree each, which would cost 1fvc to run the bi-plane over when all other trees and orchards were in the ready position. Now that it costs 3 gvc I figured I’d test it to see if it stays at 3fvc with 30 or more orchards with single trees ready to go. At 30 orchards the price of 3fvc would be the same as prior to the change. So far the price has remained static with 22 orchards set up this way. I can always fill in the orchards with other trees to have a full set and get the most out of a flight, with the chance of gifting trees that neighbors really want or need to complete their orchards at the same time.
Posted on May 13th, 2011 at 3:57 am
LMAO @ KC’s posts #’s 93 and 94. I totally agree with you. Very well said ! I also have a question for all those complaining about the “whiners” on this site. Aren’t you “whining” about other people being “whiners” by posting that? HA HA HA!!! This is funny to read. I do believe the reason anyone clicks to come to these posts is because it says ” tell us what you think”. It’s not likely everyone is going to think the same thing, therefore everyone has a right to their opinion. I do not always post when I come here, but I always laugh!
Posted on May 13th, 2011 at 4:27 am
Well now it appears that to grow my 100 or so plots the remaining 4% will be 3 FC. Formerly it was 1. Forget that.
Posted on May 13th, 2011 at 4:45 am
@Karen
Thank you for responding to everyone’s post. I guess you are some mod or something. We are allowed to write how we feel here, but I won’t be doing that anymore. So thanks for that, and continue to disagree with others. Not me though, I won’t be reading or commenting here ever again
Posted on May 13th, 2011 at 5:04 am
Wow, what a “discussion” here… :/
The price is not per plot/ orchard, but for all plots, all trees or both. It is very similar to the biplane cost calculation, although the price appears to be double.
They also changed the price for using the bipane to make it the same, the factor (for plots) seems to have been doubled to 7.29.
So there is no more use for the plane, and finally, the price for instant grow is insane.
Posted on May 13th, 2011 at 5:11 am
Ignore my post #103, they’ve changed a lot more.
Posted on May 13th, 2011 at 5:39 am
I personally like alot of people i see here do not like the instant grow option. We have had it for a while now with the biplane and I’m in no rush to harvest the crops. I mean when we plant the crops it gives us a time to be harvested…i’m sure everyone works so we plant according to our schedule so we can get to it before it withers, at least thats what i do. Zynga is just figuring out ways to get us to spend more money i’m sure. I love farmville and just try to ignore anything like this that involves me having to go out and buy a card for farm cash.
Posted on May 13th, 2011 at 8:17 am
All this did is make raising your crop more expensive. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that one out. They know many of us are mastering trees super fast with single tree orchards and now the cost to *ready* those is higher.
Greed is a bitch and Z is getting better and better at getting their money.
Luckily I only have 3 more trees to finish, so I won’t be needing this option.
Posted on May 13th, 2011 at 11:14 am
Isn’t this what the biplane does, only a hundred times slower?
Posted on May 13th, 2011 at 12:56 pm
What a waste, Zynga trying to make us pay more and more, every other day there is antoher release which costs FV which means paying REAL money for a virtual game.
Zynga get a life or you will kill this game
Posted on May 13th, 2011 at 1:02 pm
My Farmville Instant Grow prices are stuck. Even when my crops are at 99% it’s still costing 15 FV and my trees are costing 15 FV when they usually cost around 59 FV. I wouldn’t complain except for the fear that if i do use it for my trees that it would end up still coting around 59 FV and I would never use that much on instant growing..I only use it when my crops are almost done and i only have to pay 1 or 2 FV to finish them, and now i can’t do that…It’s been messed up since yesterday. Also, my husband says he’s is still working like normal so i don’t understand?
Posted on May 13th, 2011 at 1:17 pm
Mandi, mine still works like normal, too. Apparently there are glitches for some, and not for others. I hope they’re doing something to correct your problem, soon.
From what I’ve been able to figure out, the only actual change to the price is that they increased the minimum you have to pay to grow your entire crop, or all your orchards. It used to go as low as 1 FVC. Now the minimum is 3 FVC, no matter how few plots or orchards you have to grow, and how little time is remaining until harvest.
Obviously the prices you’re seeing now, on your farm, are due to a glitch. But when it is corrected, you will no longer be able to use instant grow for just 1 or 2 FVC. It will be at least 3 FVC from now on.
Posted on May 13th, 2011 at 1:22 pm
What Zynga really needs is an instant “bug” killer!
Posted on May 13th, 2011 at 2:14 pm
How does this differ from using the plane? Other than the reports of the cost above seem to be more expensive.
Posted on May 13th, 2011 at 2:36 pm
As I said, my instant grow pricing is working normally, and I may be wrong, but it seems to me that while they raised the minimum that you have to spend to grow your entire crop, or all of your orchards, they actually decreased the price if you want to use instant grow before it reaches the minimum.
So I think their intent, in the price change, may be solely to put a damper on the orchard forcing. I don’t do orchard forcing, and I feel like I get enough level 2 trees anyway, without buying them from the market. I don’t get enough to supply all my neighbors, and maybe that’s what Zynga is addressing with the minimum change.
Other than that, I don’t use instant grow much. Personally, I’m glad I have a way to use it now that allows me to get rid of the bi-plane, that’s takes up space on my farm.
So I’m not going to blast Zynga for the changes. They seem understandable, to me.
Posted on May 13th, 2011 at 3:31 pm
The REAL questions is.. If all you toddlers are tried of this and that,then WHY are you still playing this game?????
Posted on May 13th, 2011 at 8:57 pm
Fa113d – First it’s sad that you seem to think being a ‘hacker’ and cheating is somehow to be commended. Secondly it’s sad that the only way you can find to express yourself is using the kind of language you do.
Karen is quite correct in her statements. I will give you the example of my farm right now.
I have 364 plots at 33% grown, and when clicking the instant grow option I am told it will cost me a total of 5FC to complete growth of the WHOLE crop.
I have 21 orchards, some full, some part full, and 9 with 1 tree each, all at 64% growth and to complete all would cost me a total of 19FC.
There is no way to instant grow one plot or one orchard.
All that has happened is that Zynga have introduced a different way of accessing the Instant Grow, so that it is no longer necessary to have the plane. It is not possible to use it accidentally, clicking first brings up an Apply button and clicking that then brings up the full dialogue box showing prices for both crops and trees, as at present.
To the person who was worried about moving trees – you simply click and get a full menu with the move option as before, but now it includes the Instant Grow option as well.
If people would read information before reacting they would see the word ‘example’ in the Farmville Freak item at the head of this thread. They were just giving those figures as an ‘example’ to try and explain how Instant Grow works. It is not a statement of actual cost.
Todd@77 – if people do instant grow their orchards several times a day, as you say, well that is their choice, and is not an intended part of the game. If they want to they can continue to do that, or if it now costs them more (I wouldn’t know have never tried it) then they can stop and play like the rest of us. Simple.
Rufino@98 – I agree that the lack of respect for individuals shown here is appalling, but I think that respect should also be used in commenting on Zynga itself, since Zynga consists of individuals, and the attacks on its staff are often deeply insulting. Argue the issues by all means, but do it respectfully.
As to Zynga being ‘greedy’ – I can only assume these remarks come from very young people who have not yet entered the real world. Zynga is a business – it is their job to make a profit. They offer free games, and they are truly free in that every part of the game can be played fully without ever spending a penny of real money. These games are their loss leaders, the items offered in them for real cash are the way they make their profit, which enables them to pay the staff who create and run the games, and to pay their taxes. That is the real world children. No one forces you to spend real money – you have free choice. Zynga are no more greedy than any business that tries to make as much money as they can, as much profit as they can. They are simply part of the capitalist society.
I have said it before – if you don’t like the game, don’t like the options you are offered – the answer is simple. Stop playing.
Posted on May 13th, 2011 at 11:28 pm
Why in the world would someone “thumbs down” the post by CH, directly above? That is the most calm, sane, reasonable post on this thread. Very well said. What I was trying to say, without the sarcasm.
Sometimes my abhorance of reactionism causes my darker, snarkier side to rule the keyboard.
Posted on May 14th, 2011 at 7:24 am
In a nutshell, Zynga has almost no goodwill. That’s what I hope they or future investors take away from these comments. Players are fed up and quitting at an astounding rate. They may think schemes earn them money in the short term, but it’s really a poor business practice since they are losing long term loyal customers left and right.
Posted on May 14th, 2011 at 4:38 pm
@CA….do you think WalMart has no goodwill because they don’t give ALL their merchandise away for free?
Your attitude is ridiculous. Zynga could charge a monthly fee for you to play Farmville, if they wanted to.
They can put a real dollar price on anything they choose to, and set any price they choose. It’s a profit making corporation. If that offends your sensibilities, don’t use their products.
That’s the way capitalism works. Or are you a communist?
Posted on May 14th, 2011 at 10:00 pm
@CH Thanks for coming on here and completely outing yourself as a Zynga employee
Who ever said that people growing THEIR orchards with THEIR Farmcash was not an intended part of the game? Unless you are an employee of course and have insider info 
And if that’s NOT the case then what? People have to play YOUR way or it’s not right? Unbelievable…….
BTW as a Zynga employee I’m SURE you aren’t hurting for money…….Get real
Posted on May 15th, 2011 at 12:43 am
Hey, Todd….I thought you weren’t coming back.
And you felt the need to berate Leslie the way you did, and now you have a problem with what CH said to you?
Ummm….if you want to see a big time hypocrite, Todd, look in the mirror.
Posted on May 15th, 2011 at 12:23 pm
Todd@119 – I really do want to thank you for this post – it’s always good to have something to smile about, and this gave me a considerable amount of amusement. I indulged myself for a while in the fantasy of being a Zynga employee -and I think it might be fun. But of course I had to return to the reality of being a mature, indeed very mature verging on elderly, woman living in the UK on a limited income. Oh well nice to have had some fun.
You might take a lesson from this though, it is never a good idea to jump to conclusions based on no evidence at all.
You also seem to have had some difficulty grasping what I was saying regarding the trees. What is known as ‘orchard stuffing’, paying Farm Cash to bring orchards to maturity frequently, is something that can be done in the game, but it is not what was intended. Orchards were intended to be harvested once every two days, producing a proportion of seedlings, which as trees could be shared on the feed. Zynga have not blocked ‘orchard stuffing’ but they have made it more expensive. People can still continue to do it, but as I said if they don’t want to pay the extra they can play as most people do, harvesting and posting once every two days.
I imagine Zynga have made this change in the cost for an economic reason, to stop too many trees that cost 10FC in the market being produce for a lot less perhaps. I say I imagine, because I do not know, but it seems a likely scenario to me based on available evidence.
Thanks again for laugh.
Posted on May 15th, 2011 at 6:51 pm
Ahhhh Mortimer Leslie implying that if people wrote to Zynga about this they don’t have any self respect, or implying that if people accidentaly clicked on the insta grow feature they were stupid THAT is berating. Me saying that she was hiding, berating people, and jumping on a bandwagon, Hardly. As far as me being a hypocrite. Curiosity got the best of me. Doesn’t mean that I CARE
I just wanted to see what rediculous nonsense came next, and to my suprise (actually I’m not suprised) there was plenty 
Call me whatever you want I don’t give a damn 
And CH I wouldn’t believe you if my life depended on it. I know you could care less, but I could care less too
I’ll try to explain this to you a little better since YOU seem to be having trouble “grasping” this concept. As far as the “orchard stuffing” (as you call it) goes. If the orchards were supposed to mature every 2 days then they would mature every 2 days and there would NOT even be an option to insta grow them. If Zynga didn’t want that option available then they wouldn’t have made it available. Simple.
Sounds like someone on a “fixed income” (supposedly) is a little jealous that they can’t insta grow their orchards, so everyone should have to play your way (without any FC). That IS what you said afterall. “They can stop and play like the rest of us” (like you in other words). Like I said before….Unbelieveable
Posted on May 15th, 2011 at 7:26 pm
Leslie didn’t imply that people who write to Zynga have no self respect. Leslie implied that people who feel it necessary to communicate with Zynga, and those people who have no issue with Zynga, with rudeness and malice, about their inability to continue bending the rules of the game Zynga created, do not earn Leslie’s respect.
Since it’s been established that it is impossible to accidentally click on the insta-grow option, you are correct- the term “stupid” is misapplied. Maybe “clumsy” or “inept” or “blundering” would be better terms. I used the term stupid referring to the over-hyped drama from some people about the possiblility of it accidentally happening, even after it had been well established to be impossible.
I still maintain that agreeing with someone does not constitute “jumping on a bandwagon”. Have Mortimer and CH also jumped on this alleged bandwagon, or do they simply disagree with you?
And Todd, there is no shame in caring.
Posted on May 16th, 2011 at 3:29 am
Todd@122 – I am beginning to get concerned about you – you seem to be developing a degree of paranoia about this issue which it really doesn’t merit.
‘I wouldn’t believe you if my life depended on it. I know you could care less, but I could care less too’ – Todd What evidence do you have for believing me to be a liar?
Check my Facebook Profile – Cindy Huxley, Totnes, pic of a pair of whippets – if you have doubts.
Orchards – an option means something that can happen but isn’t the default position. The orchards do mature every 2 days, they can be brought to maturity earlier by using FC – that is the option. It was/is not the default position for the game. And it is my opinion that Zynga never intended it to be used to ‘stuff’ orchards and thus undermine their sale of 2nd level trees during the limited time they are in the market.
‘Sounds like someone on a “fixed income” (supposedly) is a little jealous that they can’t insta grow their orchards, so everyone should have to play your way (without any FC).’ – Again you are drawing conclusions not supported by the text. I did not say that I could not insta grow orchards, or indeed that I played without using Farm Cash. In fact I do use Farm Cash quite often in the game to buy items only available that way. I don’t choose to use it to do things that will happen of their own accord for free.
I did not say that people should play my way, only that if they can’t afford to stuff orchards because of the increase, then they can play as most of us do, letting the orchards mature in their own time.
I know I shouldn’t laugh at you Todd, but your reactions to things do cause amusement. Please just read what is written and think about it before you respond, for your sake.
Oh and that phrase ‘ know you could care less, but I could care less too is very odd and actually says the opposite of what you are trying to say. I know you are not the only person to use it, I have seen it written by American’s before and heard it in TV programmes. But actually it is a corruption of the original which is ‘I couldn’t (could not) care less’. That one makes sense in the context it is being used by you and others.
Hope you have a good day and enjoy your game.

Ok, just did this. Clicked on a plot, one single plot of Dreyers fruit bars, they were about 15% ready. Asked me for 3 fv cash. Went ahead and clicked ok, and what do you know? It instantly grew ALL my plots, all 300 of them. There, end of story. If you ask me, it’s still a pretty good bargain. I mean come one guys, in case any of you haven’t noticed, with all the surveys popping up, (one day I even got 5 back to back) at anywhere from 2-5 fv$ a survey, Farmcash is very easy to come by, and all for free.
Peace everyone.

I am always seeing click here for 5 free instant growth. I click on it, then do what it says to do, and never receive my free instant growth. This is false advertisement, if you have to pay for it , it shouldnt say receieve 5 free. I think that this and other things that you need in farmville , such as things you need to complete goals should be part of the special deliveries that you receive. Instead of all those nails, boards and bricks that I keep giving. Is getting to be a real bore, especially when you get all fo those special deliveries and you dread clicking on them cause you know that you are gonna get what you dont need as a gift.
I also think that it is way to hard to get farmville cash. I have been playing this for over a year. You only get farmville cash when you level up. I am not gonna purchase the farmville cash, and all of my friends totally agree, that is just another way to get money.
