I understand the sentiment and as a seasoned player that's played every iteration of pvz3 I can honestly see where this post has some truth to it. Resetting progress was bad. It has killed my playing motivation to play and so has shards. Asking hundreds of Shards to upgrade a plant with a very very very stingy reward system is lackluster and just kills the game. Why aren't shards given every level of every mode?
Every grind game I've played has something we can grind. You've given us lots of cooldowns, ads, cooldowns on ads. If I wanted to play 16 hours a day, there is no incentive in this game. I play 10 to 15 min a day and off to another game. No way to level everyday. No way to grind. Nothing keeping me in game. There's dozens of plants unreleased and you want us to level up plants that will go weeks to months to upgrade a level.
Also bringing out the same seasons and adding almost nothing to them is also bad. If you want us to keep doing the same content, you have add to it.
