I'm very surprised they would drop the Inzanity, Pinata Party daily, and the "defeat X Zombies" missions, two of those being ones that award Seed Packets! What kind of policy is it that trades old features for new ones when they get released? What is this obsession they have with limiting player progress so aggressively?
And don't tell me it's for the sake of profit, as though doing this is going to incite people to buy their loot boxes. People who refuse to gamble money will continue to do so, and this sort of thing will actually drive people off.
This really sounds like a death knell for PvZ2 to me...
On top of that, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the Restoring Purchases bug continues to terrorize the realm after the 7.9 update.
