Re: Shadow-peashooter: The new EA cash cow ?

I did notice late last night and this morning that I only received one Shadow PeaShooter seed packet out of the 10 seed packets from the 5 Modern Day pinata tracker. And this morning I was starting fresh again (someone already has a Level 4 Shadow Peashooter and I was beat at Level 16) and my fourth victory was the Modern Day Pinata and none of the 30 seeds went to Shadow PeaShooter.

So maybe there is a throttle after the first day !!

Over 100 Shadow PeaShooter seeds already...including the quest completed.

Could be just random, couldalso be that EA is manipulating the probability to get some kind of seeds. and that there is no equal probability to get the plants seeds of one World.
I felt like that when I was trying to get seeds for Dusk Lobber or Blover (some plants very efficient in Battlez - when they are not banned), it did look that I got less than what I should expected.
Kinda hard to draw a conclusion since we are biased on that and we are dealing small numbers 🤨

They've done two separate BAIT & SWITCH tactics this week.
Before, you ALWAYS were guaranteed seed packets you didn't want, simply because they would try to bait you into buying that dangling carrot each week. This was the norm.
Surprise! This week you NOT only do NOT get SP packets in your standard battle pinantas for that carrot (at least I never did). But you are NOT even guaranteed to get any from the SPECIAL Modern Day pinantas from Battlez. You MAY... but that's a big if.
So far, 160 Packets awarded to me from the SPECIAL Modern Day pinatas that we were told could earn what we needed. And I got 0... yup. Not a single one.
This has never been how it was BEFORE this week's bait & switch moves.
All one can do is laugh again. I had a FEELING EA was going to be up to its cash-cow tricks again.... 🙂

One warning. Do NOT... I repeat NOT spend your gems first on the 25-for-10 deal. Because if the rumors are true, once you accumulate a few packets, your chances of winning more get greatly diminished.
Do battlez FIRST... then do the guaranteed purchases after so you don't get hit by biased RNG.
