These days in nearly all casual (especially Mobile) games, you can add friends and invite them to play with you in exchange for certain benefits. Basically, having players do most of the marketing for them - brilliant!

I want to know if there is any point in having friends in the game Hay-Day, by Supercell?

As far as I can see, the only benefit is that you can go view their farm and auctions without them having to appear in the news paper or something, which could sometimes help.

Is there nothing else though? Like sending some money or items or something? Or perhaps a thing that can be accelerated or yield more result/product if you invite friends to help?

Are the benefits only the ones I've already found?

Is it OK not to have friends?

Know that it's completely normal to not have friends. It's not weird, and it's even common: 1 in 5 have no close friends. Imagine that every fifth person you meet on your next walk has no close friends. Visualizing this can help us feel less weird and alien: You're never alone feeling lonely.

Is it really worth having friends?

Quality friends also teach us the value of loyalty and show us our own strength. While some friendships can help you grow as a person, some knock you around and are simply not worth holding on to. Many friendships are nothing more than the recruitment of pastime companions in a mission to beat boredom.
