There is a point of contention about this.... Some players call those who piggyback without contributing  "FreeLoaders". All good and fine if you're just killing time playing the game, but for serious players,  the sooner you finish the co op,  the more coins and points and you can start a new co op,  and do it all over again! Not much point in taking 4 days to finish for less payout and others have not contributed a thing, yet get paid the same as you! IMHO that isn't fair. And I've met more than a few, what I call "Takers"  who shop around just to jump on a co op that is seeded and almost ready to finish. That way they can do one, even two co ops in a day!!!! Now tell me, is this right? Not exactly the spirit of the game.

And what is expecially galling is if a FreeLoader, by squatting on a co op space,  blocks out a farmer who COULD contribute!!

Some of my neighbors have created a group who co op together. We block out the "FreeLoaders" by having the Farmer with the LEAST # of neighbors,  start the Co op. That way, very few people see that it even exists. We can then co op our hearts out and don't have to contend with selfish people who want something for nothing.

NOW LET ME SAY, I'm not calling you a freeloader!!! I'm talking about others whom I have come across. It sounds from your posting that you are a kind, considerate farmer who wants to share, and that is commendable!! Kudos to you!
