Re: Zen Garden (Watering...)
How did you manage to upgrade a specific plant using 10000 coins ?
I know there are the daily Pinata for 5000 each

- I was lucky enough to "win" a premium pinata for a plant i actually have at the pinata party which took me over the experience points needed to level up and the 10,000 coinz are the price i have to pay to EA to actually level up.
Don't ask me what they spend them on.
Those 5,000 coin pinatas are not actually pinatas but a daily offer put out by EA to get you to visit the shop, watch ads or buy coinz.
Hurrikale is the first gemium plant i bought as soon as i had the 100 gems and i occasionally get a premium pinata with seed packets for it.
I soon found out after buying it that every time you lose it costs you an extra 10 gemz to not to lose your streak when you lose a battlez match (10,20,30,40 and so on).
It is well worth saving them (and mintz) for a rainy day.
Most of the prEAmium pinatas i get are for plants i haven't bought so if i do buy one then i usually can level up 2 or 3 times.
Now the rewards for a successful streak are BIG by my standards (the furthest i got was 44) but i woke up at 3am and decided to use a freeplay without setting up a defence before starting (DUH!) and it would have cost me 70 gems to retain it so i declined.
ThEAy usually push premium pinatas for a new plant ahead of said plant appearing as plant of the week. Oh yes I forgot the coins to upgrade the plants.
So not only you have to watch ads, win quests, etc to get the seeds but you still have to pay to upgrade your plant. I never realized how stupid and non logic it was. In many games, either you have to pay to get your weapon upgraded either you have to do some quest or achievement to get a new weapon.Here we have to do both doing both. That or paying for Pinatas then paying for the upgrade.
Are we paying an engineer or a botanist with thoses coins so he can upgrade our plants or is it just another way to make players buy coins or watch ads, I'm really wondering ? 🤔
Else, I only had one daily offer at 5000 today, instead of 3, is it normal ?- I had 3, i think they were em peach, puff shroom and guacodile.
None are plants i normally use but i bought the seed packets anyway. - It's not stupid, it's actually very clever, vEAry clever.
Offering people a free downloadable game that has in app purchases and it starts off being really easy and cheap to upgrade your plants then gradually getting harder and progressively more expensive in time, coinz, gemz then some plants can only be bought with actual money (usually the best ones).
I suggest that you and any newcomers read ALL the posts in this forum and you might see the bigger picture because I keep on repeating myself which is probably getting boring.
I suggest you try the original PVZ game which is fun and available for many platforms but isn't riddled with ads or ways to part me with my cash.
It was quite old when i bought it so it cost less than what EA charge for a premium plant.
I'm going off now to play my favorite level, it's raining seeds and nobody's going to make me watch another d****d ad tonight!
I AM CASH COW! HEAR ME MOOOOOO!!!!! Yes I know
It's jun ""fun"" to discover another mechanics used to make player watch more ads and pay more.
When you see all the topics with players having issues with the game and getting no answer, I can't stop thinking that EA should hired less people for marketing & co and more for dev' and support 🤔

- Done that as well.
I keep on waking up in the wee small hours, probably because i don't want to let a freeplay escape.
I wish EA would cut down the 4 hour freeplays DURING THE NIGHT and give out extra "free" gauntlets instead so i can catch up on my sleep.🌛
