I wrote an unhappy post about this issue on another thread, and the response from the developer made me think. It's true that one thing that drew me to BW was the lack of the need for friends. But the developer is correct, most games on FB, at least the hugely popular ones, do require a certain number of friends to proceed. I do not play those games anymore, for that reason. But the cost of bushbucks for the gates isn't really that much. 3 per person. If the max number of people needed right now is 7, that's a max of 21 bushbucks a gate. That's only a couple of dollars. I may not be able to afford it right now, but generally a couple dollars every week or so isn't going to be a big deal. I spend more than that on soda. One less soda, one more week of BW2!

Oh, and Erin, just so you know, FB does not appreciate people making fake profiles. Not that people don't do it. But they don't like it. I believe, like accepting friends who you don't actually know, it can get you suspended or banned. Just wanted to give you a head's up!

@Ruth- to me the difference is that I could have one friend help me multiple times to open the gates on BW1, now they will not let the same friend help you more then once on the gates in BW2. So now I have to do more then just patently wait. I have to either bug all my other friends and hope some of them decide to join, which has not happened. I still have the two friends that played bw1 with me and no others that want to join in. So now I am have been stuck at the log trying to decide if I pay with the few precious bush bucks I have and then get stuck later at the next place that wants even more friends that I do not have or I give up now. I really love BW, but do not have it in my budget to give money to any facebook games.

Me too, all over red rover! Look I love BW1 and because none of my friends game, it was fantastic to not have to hassle people to join in. This actually fostered a good will relationship when it came to me buying bushbucks. I spent quite a lot of money on bushbucks (mainly for energy during special quests) and because I didn't feel like the developer was screwing me, I spent more money on bw than on any of my other games. I don't feel that way about bw2, having played it and gotten to the point when I am banging my head against a gate... I don't feel inclined to part with my money for this one.
