What is the attraction of Farmville?

Asked by shpadoinkle_sue (7188points) March 4th, 2010

I have a friend on facebook and all I see on my news feed is her Farmville stuff. It’s a little irritating to get ALL of it, but I wouldn’t care if it was every few days or something. What is the attraction of it? I keep seeing it and it keeps making me want to play it, but I don’t. Help!

I used to play when it first came out. It’s just addicting in the way that The Sims or Harvest Moon is addicting. You get caught up in stuff that you have to check after a certain amount of time otherwise you basically get no credit for it, so it can get obsessive.

It holds absolutely no attraction for me whatsoever.

Hide this app. It’s a scourge on fb.

I have no idea. I have blocked Farmvillle from my Facebook wall, as well as Mafia Wars, Valentines, people trying to win iPods, iPads, and all and sundry iDon’tGiveAShits….

How do you block it? I’m really not that savvy with social media type sites.

@ShiningToast Thanks! Sanity returns. :)

Yeah, it can be blocked. I don’t understand why it bugs people what other people do on their facebook. If you don’t like it, then don’t befriend them.

I play it. I know there’s really no point. But it’s still fun. I have posted on my wall quite a few times that I post the updates for other people that play Farmville, and if you’re not interested, then block the app.
