Please allow us to bank 4,000 tickets.
Hi. I love the events, and the card rewards. I love the daily challenges, and their rewards. But you are demanding WAY too much of our time to achieve these reward tiers. I play at least 10 other ...

If you could watch them, would you agree that the system in place is pretty fair?
@daalnnii - As far as earning tickets goes, I think that they've done an excellent job of making four copies available to most players. Fairness is a matter of perspective and isn't likely one of the inputs in their "maximize the money" algorithms for making adjustments and decisions. If I get to the point where I feel like they're making* me play when they want me to play instead of playing when I want to or can play, then I'll drop this game just like I've dropped others that decided it was the best way to get my money. The most I've spent on any app game is PvZ2 because I was able to play at my own pace and offline, and all purchases were for desirable but not needed to win plants.
*No one needs to remind me that EA/PopCap is "making" me play this game. If you'd like though, we can engage on a discussion of the relevant psychology in a separate venue.
I have no problem with how @Clarent1975 is reacting to many of you now as Clarent's idea was called "selfish" immediately and later Clarent is indirectly labled "entitled".
Be fair, how many suggestions for improving the game don't benefit a certain set of players, especially the poster posting the proposal? Aren't you glad that they finally took someone's suggestion that gems-for-ads be dropped from 10 to 5? Aren't you glad that they finally took someone's suggestion that the 5000-gem superpack be replaced with a $39.99 purchase option?
Remember when someone asked that recycled event cards generate more sparks and that person with the "selfish" idea was labled "entitled"? And now there has been post after post after post decrying the most recent change that event cards now recycle for more sparks!
We don't have EA/PopCap's data on player engagement and spending patterns, so we can't debate banking 4,000 tickets based on those criteria. We also can't say "hey, I play this game just fine, so you should to" because we live in different worlds and have different lives.
Clarent's idea for banking tickets offers more flexibility to when someone has to play. Over the course of time, that person banking tickets must still play just as many games or be engaged with PvZH as much as someone who is playing/engaging casually/regularly. Is it so bad that this change benefits someone working 7-on-7-off (that's 80 hrs one week and then completely off the next) more so than the person who works 9 hrs a day in an office with wi-fi who gets to play practically whenever they want? Again, you still have to earn the tickets to actually bank them.

Please keep discussions like this civil between each other. There is no need for insults or attacks on other people just based on ideas you don't agree with.
We want discussions to happen here and like seeing different peoples views, it's okay to disagree but not in the manner this thread seems to be going.
I'll leave this thread unlocked for now but if it continues down the current route I'll need to lock it.
