The bonuses you receive for helping on a friends ranch are free bonuses (they do not use your energy) so they have to be limited to keep everything balanced. Unfortunately getting proper limits on certain items was initially overlooked as we were focusing on other game features. I realize this is frustrating if you were helping a ton of friends and getting a lot of free bonus energy and gold as a result. This is a new release and we are still in beta, that means that fun errors like unlimited free helps may be available because we haven't figured it out or fixed it yet, and it also means that when we do fix it you have to realize that it wasn't intended to work that way! -David

For example what is to say someone starts playing adds just enough people to unlock everything currently in the ranch and then removes all of them and replaces the spots with 5 FB alts for somewhere to go do the free helps and to get the things needed for evolving as the game progresses.........

They also staff your buildings, and in the future there will be a gifts section... Also they are your friends! so don't you care to see thier progress and guardians!? (I know a lot of players add people who aren't thier real friends, but playing with real friends is fun too) -David

As far as cookies and batteries go unless I'm out I can't ask people for any with the way it stands right now. A gift section would be great to see when it comes out though :D

I found your engagement over energy caps to be very well considered and your replys very fair giving me a better understanding of how the game works, with that in mind, Can I suggest that rather than capping the amount of helps you can do that perhaps you can limit the opportunity to help on each ranch eg regeneration of weeds, crops. So rather than focusing the limit the amount you can GIVE limit the amount you can RECIEVE just a suggestion look forward to your insight.
