Ive paid a lot in gems to get this plant and get it level 4 and it is a good plant. But what angers me is that it is another cash cow because you have to keep spending 25 gems just for 10 seed packets. EA promised there would be seed packets in Piñatas during battle mode but, despite having won a dozen or more modern day piñatas in battle mode there has not been 1 lousy pack of seeds. The same is true of the everyday piñatas in non battle mode, although I’ve managed to get about 9 this way in The last few days having focused on 6 modern day piñatas a day. It is clear that players are going to want this plant and to level up. But the only route to that is buying these darnn gems for 10 seed packets per 25 gems. To go up to level 5 now means that you would need 250 gems costing £19.99, and after that you are looking at £80 for level 6 and £160 for level 7. Thus is, without doubt, the most expensive plant in the game and not, I hope, a sign of things to come from ea. They have made a fortune from battleZ and progress seems to be rigged so that when you get to level 6 or 7 your normal strategy inexplicably fails and your score halves. They hope they can trap people into paying loads of gems to retain their winning streak, but from this point in you are in a trap that ends up costing g a lot of gems. The battles themselves cost 50p each and an average contest is £40-50 over the week. But this is not enough money for them. So obviously inspired by the likes of fortnite, ea thinks they can just keep on abusing people’s love for and loyalty to this game. Come on ea, do you have to be so greedy??? You make enough off us already but you just don’t stop pushing and pushing until you find the breaking point at which people will reject this game. But you’ve taken care of that too because it’s hard to ditch a game that you have put so much time effort.and money into
The Pay-To-Win system existed way before Fortnite was created, like more than 10 year ago at last.
And it's actually totally different in Fortnite, players are paying for skins, not for better weapons, etc.
Fun fact, they are still ads saying we can have SP seeds in Battle Pinata even if they removed them less than 2 days after the tournament began.
