Question for EA/Popcap as just posted by me on Reddit

Considering the fact that you know approximatively how many seeds someone with a huge streak and huge rewards get, and that there are already shadow peashooter seeds as rewards in Battlez, how many time (or how many games) do you think a lucky player would have to play to get the 7435 seeds recquired to unlock then to upgrade it to lvl 10 ? @Humplemann
I guess that the main point, to determine when someone could legitimately get it lvl 10 ? 🤔

Edit: well I guess the seeds are not in the Battle rewards yet my bad, only on Pinata Party & Tracker for now. (Hope they will be in Pinata rewards also else it would take forever)

Well, it took me 11 weeks of Battlez play before I got my first plant to max level. It was the Electric Blueberry and it was already at level 4 when Battlez first started.

My next was the Wasabi Whip, which took another week or so. Like the Electric Blueberry, I already had it levelled up about half way when Battlez commenced.

These max levels were both obtained before I started getting serious amounts of seed packets in the Battlez rewards.

My latest max level plant is the Blover, and that took me 23 weeks to get up that far. This was despite it already being at level 3 or 4 when Battlez first started.

Given where I am a present (Having the times 10 multiplier on rewards) AND starting from scratch with the Shadow Peashooter, AND assuming Shadow Peashooter Pinatas do appear as rewards, I'd say it would take 8 to 10 weeks if done exclusively through winning various pinatas. (Unless, of course, a player won 100s of matches in the Shadow Peashooter tournament and had a high multiplier. Even then I doubt if it could be achieved in just that one week - NO, I'm not about to try!)

It would be less time than that for anyone insane enough to buy all the seeds, but it could well cost them hundreds of pounds/dollars/euros before they got to their target.

If the seeds came in a bundle that consisted exclusively of Pinatas for the Shadow Peashooter it MIGHT cost a little less. However, if they came as part of a general bundle and only a percentage of the seeds in that bundle were for the Shadow Peashooter, it would price all but the most fanatical, and deep pocketed, of players out of the market.
