Hello, this is my first post on this forum 🙂
I have been playing for some time, maybe 100-150 games. I agree that grinding gems is a bit slow in this game, but I achieved diamond league with almost all basic cards. I am always free to play, never have I ever spent a single penny for any game. I like the challenge of playing against people who have advantage over me, it's not fun the other way :P
I opened 2x2000 multipacks and got 1 new hero (yeah, sucks) - Impfinity, and 3 legendaries. I have over 90% win ratio on ranked with this and I'm having fun with * cards and no money spent 🙂
I don't look at gem earning like grinding, it's just the way to motivate me to play more.
All in all, they could at least double gem earning, but I won't stop playing if they don't. Thank you :*
Yes, diamond league is incredibly easy to reach, good luck progressing further. Actually you were lucky enough to get second 2000 multipack with just reaching diamond. Usually you are in short of gems unless you got really lucky with these 100 gems quests. Please report on your 90% win ratio on diamond and don't count disconnecting persons (since these servers are laggy as hell).
I'm not sure how it is going to be from now on, I'm still a new player, but I will give you report after another 50-100 games 🙂
I will try to get to taco league after my exams pass.
Aside from that, is there a way to propose some ideas to Popcap? Like reseting ranks every month so we can get the gems again or rewarding every win with 5 gems. Currently, there is no way of getting gems other than daily quests.

You are completely right, there is no other way: and these daily quests rewards are too low compared to your efforts and too low in general daily basis.
This is the main problem, even aside of drop rate nerf.
And popcap doesn't have to do anything with it, it's EA fault who is one of the most greedy companies on the market.
I think it's a waste of time to continue this thread. At least for me. I've given enough explanations of how things work and why the progression is fine but you are stubborn and are just repeating the same things over and over so I'm clearly not getting to you. If you are right, then this game will fail. If that's the case then just stop playing it. Go back to Hearthstone since you have found your niche there.
In every single online CCG, however generous their rewards are, there are always a bunch of players who feel entitled to more, who think they know more about this business then the developers and are always writing in the forums about how their game is p2w and how people should uninstall them. Hearthstone has plenty of these threads, of course!
All of these games have enough rewards and can be played and enjoyed very well if you just follow the progression model and don't consider playing to be a job or something that you have to grind. PvZ Heroes is no exception and is incredibly enjoyable if you just get your brains out of your pea pod for a minute.
Also, you should probably realize that it is indeed PopCap that runs the show in regards to the business model. The EA execs are involved and will pushback if they see that the results aren't good but it's PopCap who makes the shots. This is how things work in the industry but most trolls like to just throw blame around without knowing how things actually work or basing themselves of something they read in reddit.
Every game has its pay2win aspect of course. However, this current game raised the bar to an astonishing level.
You have completely ignored all valid points presented in this thread and look on everything from your position of limited release abuser where people were able to get all 20 heroes without spending a dime indeed.
Right now facts are like this:
1. Ranking currency grind of PVZH is 8-10 times slower than HS.
2. Quests currency grind of PVZH is approximately the same as HS in terms of daily values, however it takes 7-8 times more to get the same amount of currency pack-wise as in HS.
Basically you suggested me to back to HS, okay. I hope you understand everyone who played since global release should do the same if things aren't changed?
