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

I KNEW this was what was going to happen behind the scenes. However, I am not upset at that. I think it's a Win-Win for both EA and the players. Everyone wins... people who still want to get suckered into F2P can have their fun, EA who is greedy to extract iTunes gift card purchases and credit card payments can also be happy...
What annoys me is the BAIT & SWITCH tactics EA used. As soon as they felt that players were getting the plant a little easier than the GRIND they had intentioned, they immediately did the old BAIT & SWITCH. I sense further NINJA EDITS may be on the horizon.

Next time they will do an ad, they should write "seeds available in Battlez (but hurry up we may decide to remove them after 1 day and a half) 🥳

Success. I now have Shadow PeaShooter !!
Should I use Gems as EA desires in order to increase the levels ?

Lmao
That what I though
Thoses Shadow Peashooters Pinatas in Battlez are like EA, a huge joke.
Last week, I had a streak around 80 and I got shadow peashooters seeds in a Modern Pinata, because yes, no matters what EA says, they were supposed to be in thoses pinatas in the first place, I have a screenshot of an in-game ad seeing it. (or EA really has some internal communication issues !)
So I got 60 SP seeds AMONG other seeds of Modern Days plants seeds.
Now I have a streak around 180 (so reward x2). And the Pinatas are just with shadow peashooters seeds.
So, in a normal logical and non shady game, I would have expect to have more seeds since there is only SP seeds and also because I have a higher streak.
Nope.
I only got 40 peashooters seeds.Last week, streak around 80, with Modern Pinata = 60 shadow peashooters seeds + other seeds
This week, streak around 180, with Shadow Peashooter Pinata = 40 SP seeds
Keep with your nasty habits EA, and you will stay the dregs of video games industry 😇
