The luck of the zombie reward is coins. Is this the "lots of new content" that we are supposed to get instead of more sorely-needed maps? The only genuine new content here is a single cosmetic hat. Pathetic. Truly pathetic. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
I dunno, I get what you're saying, but I'm pretty happy with 10K coins for a minute's work.
I suspect I care less about customizations than many other players. Frankly, out of all the seasonal hats I've collected, I think the only one I use is the ornament hanger on frozen citron. Hey, now that you make me think about it, maybe I should put the funny ghost mask back on some imps. I'd rather have the coins to spend on Rux and consumables.
The first two Special Holiday themed events focused on fancy customization items, but when you think about it Halloween is about dressing up and the Holidays are about decorating so the customizations make a lot of sense there.
When most people think about St Patrick's Day you think Leprechauns and Gold so while the previous two events could give the expectation of more customizations, Gold also makes just as much sense. While a goofy hat might be nice to have I'll accept the coins as well to help me inch closer to completing my wardrobe.
Keep in mind that the average player is under Rank 2500, with a whole lot who are still under Rank 1000 and the Quests and events will always be targeted at the average player as opposed to players who are closing in on maximum Player Rank, have all the characters and have nearly every customizations. For those of us topping out like that there's not much that remains to be offered and as entitled as many players may feel there is a definite lifespan assigned to new content roll outs and expansions and PvZGW2 has hit it, but despite that fact I still find the game fun and will likely continue to invest hundreds of more hours into it for the next year at least.
That's all well and good for the average player, but what of players such as myself? Max rank, all characters, all available stickers? What is the reward for all the hours that we have put in? The tedium of playing the paltry number of maps over and over again with the inevitable internal monologue of "This map again? Already? Yawn.". There is little here to maintain long-term interest.
I can understand the frustration of players who are max level, that the coins are of little to no use to them. I am not complaining about receiving 10k coins for something that takes me less than 5 minutes to accomplish.
If you feel unsatisfied, you can complain to Popcap, or just don't do the task. I feel bad that it doesn't really benefit you, because I went through similar things when I reached max level in GW1.
For now.. I am happy with this.

You don't know how the game works. You cannot complain, only people who can complain are famous streamers. Coins are useless. I have 18 million and its just stupid that avrage players are getting everything handed to them (legendary items, infinity items, and coins). I got everything by playing before those infinity packs or community challenges were introduced. And seeing things like 100k coins as a legendary item in the community challenge just makes me mad.
New maps are needed badly! Hope we get new ones soon.
The way I see it every player has to decide why they keep returning to the game.
If you are returning time and again because you feel a need to acquire that New Thing which you don't have yet then you're probably a Collector and there's a high probability that when the game no longer has New Things to give you then you'll lose interest and move onto the next game which can offer you New Things.
If you are a Completionist then you likely feel the need, or obligation even, to grind away at the game until you have collected every tiny thing it has to offer; most completionists that I know immediately move on after they finish collecting every item, character, badge and thingamabob in the game.
The last type is the player who keeps coming back because they have fun, and while they might also be a Collector or a Completionist but if you find the game fun enough you keep coming back even after it runs out of things to give you besides entertainment value.
Garden Warfare 2 is at the point where if you are a long time veteran you need to decide whether or not the game is fun enough to bring you back.
For me the answer is "yes". I have every character already and all but a handful are at Master level and my character wardrobe needs only about 900 more items to be completed but I have enough fun that it won't matter when I run out of levels or items to get- I'll still keep playing.
