Zen Garden (Watering...)

Dr zomboss, you might find the zen garden more useful on the endless quest that keep on getting harder as you progress.
Go add up how much everything in your convenient on line store would cost you with just a few taps of your finger then turn pale.
The bee is now almost useless since the last update, which is a shame because it gave some meaning to ad farming.
The ads have taken all the fun out of this game but I'm hooked now and it's too late because I've got too much time and money invested in it to Just delete it and walk away.
It's going to get far, far worse as most of my plants are at L3-L4 but as i very slowly get enough experience points to level up the cost in coinz jumps up massively and most of the pinatas i "win" are for premium plants i haven't bought.
I think eieio mentioned on another post that the only plant he has at L10 is electric blueberry and he's been playing for a long time.
The minimum number of experience points you get with each pinata is 2 and you have very little control over what they apply to, you can get pinatas for a specific world but not a specific plant.
I decided that i quite liked holly barrier so i bought it. I could have bought the plant on its own for £4.99 but i bought the bundle for £9.99 with the extra seed packets etc. But hardly any of the premium seed packets applied to plants i already have. This is the first "freemium" game i have ever downloaded and i really wish that i had been warned about the true cost of playing because if i had known then i never would have tried it.
As to being a cash cow, all i can say about that is "MOOOOOOO".
I recommend the original PVZ to my friends but tell them not to try. PVZ2.
I'm going to try and find out what it takes to max out eieio's electric blueberry and let you know.
Run awEAy!
