I just wish EA/Popcap would quit having these 'Seedium' plants.
It's been claimed that players 'requested' it. Well I certainly didn't and I don't recall ever being asked. I'm also willing to bet that any players who may have expressed such a wish are now deeply regretting it.
It's put out that it's a way for players who don't wish to pay cash for a plant to still get them, but it then makes getting them next to impossible for most players.
It takes a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time to accumulate the 250 dedicated seeds using only Epic Quests, Pinata Trackers and Pinata Parties. Then, once you've finally acquired them, all they do is unlock the plant!!
You then have to earn more seeds to upgrade from level 1.
Unfortunately I can't see any way that EA/Popcap will discontinue with this method, but they could at least give players who are willing to pay out some cash the option to purchase the new plants outright for 5 Dollars/Pounds/Euros depending on where you live. (By this I mean the actual plants and NOT the seeds.)
There will, of course, be the option to gain the seeds through purchasing the Pinatas that give 10 seeds plus 10 random seeds from other plants for (25??) Gems. The trouble with that is by the time someone has purchased enough of the seeds, the Gems required work out to a cash equivalent of around 28 Dollars/Pounds/Euros.
This new method is touted as a means to provide a cheap way for players to acquire a 'Premium' plant. However, on my calculator 28 Dollars/Pounds/Euros IS NOT cheaper than 5 Dollars/Pounds/Euros.
