STOP THE TEAM SWAPPING!!!!
This is seriously getting out of hand and it makes Gardens & Graveyards completely unenjoyable. Every room that I stay in long enough, I notice all of the highest scoring/level players are litera...

Hey there,
Just wanted to chime in on this:
The game is set up to fore people to swap sides. After a matc the game forces you to play on teh opposite side.
trust me there's been plenty of times that I just wanted to stay on as either Plant or Zombie and the game forces you to swap, then when your trying to swap back it says side is full. So in order to not waste time and allow the other team to get to the teleporter first, you have to suck it up after a few tries and rush into the game! =)
Abamoooeater what people are saying is we are sick of people who keep trying to play zombies everytime. The plants are almost always outnumbered because of selfish people who just do not want to take a turn playing plants. Many people just keep trying to swap to zombies every round rather than take a turn playing plants.
Finalzidane your answer does not make you seem any less selfish. If you have unlocked to the point you claim you are an above average skilled player. On team plants you could make a difference in getting the perfect victory for them. I personally do not want to play with people who always swap to the zombies and would give you the same treatment as Awmasterling. I have had not problem unlocking everything to level 15 at the same pace. I have without a doubt used more skip challange stars than you but still have over 200 available. I personally believe that the sides are balanced in Gardens and Graveyards and have been part of a successful plant team many times. If the teams are a balanced and you do not have a multiple player disadvantage it is not hard to win as the plants.
The game switches you from one side to the other with the intent you will play both sides. If you refuse to play one side for some lame reason you should be prepared to have people exersize their right to block you. I do not do it to anyone with a high score as many of them play both sides but if I do not wish to play with people who constantly swap to zombies. I do not care what your excuse is the fact that you feel the need to justify yourself shows that even you are aware that people switching to zombies creates an inbalance in the game that affects everyone.

You are right that I've used virtually no skip stars, the reason plants level so much faster is the ease of getting challenges done in Garden Ops. The game gives me one that is impossible in multiplayer (50 browncoats in a session was one I particularly dislike) I then go to Garden Ops to finish it and get 5-6 more along the way. What am I to do? Play plants at no benefit just to wait my turn? Score and coins are useless to me, no challenges to keep the match fresh, just a mouse wheel obligation. I would be doing community service in a game -.- I personally, have no issue switching were alterations to the challenge system made. (I had no issue until it became a problem.) Though, I don't see that happening.
Finalzidane I agree that the challange system needs to be changed. Garden ops allows for an easy way to level plants beyond zombies andI have used less than 10 skips for the plants compared to over 50 for the zombies. I also agree that they are unlikely to change it. I do disagree with the idea that level does not at this point reflect some skill level. Everyone I have seen that is above level 70 plays with the skill that shows they would be amonst the top 25% of players. I personally find that skilled players make a large difference in gardens and graveyards and if both teams have 2 or 3 top players the matches tend to be even. However if one team has twice the skilled players as the other team it slants the game in their favor.
Now I am assume based on how you talk that you are amongst the top 25% of players and if you are not than what I am saying would not apply to you. However as I know I will unlock everything and have already completed the stickerbook except for a couple dozen decorative items, less than 10 weapon upgrades and 4 alternate abilities. I play the game for enjoyment and one of the things I enjoy is unlocking everything and maxing my levels. As one of the top players I hold myself accountable and unfairly or not also hold other players of similar skill to the same accountability. If I find someone unbalancing the game I would prefer not to play with that player. I understand the frustration of the classes not leveling at the same consistency and the plants having garden ops to level goes a long way to that. However I also understand the frustration and see how upset many people get at unbalanced game play.
Most of the people I talk to who play this game do this for enjoyment and while many of them are not skilled players and have not managed to even level to the thirties yet they do not play as serious as I do and get frustrated at not being able to win as the plants. Since I personally aveage over 600 CPM with a plant loss I am fine seeing zombies taking all seven graveyards. However since I know most players would prefer the victory over the coins I am happy to try for that for the better enjoyment of all.
Finalzidane, you and I probably agree on more things about this game than we disagree on. And yes I am saying, unjustly that you should take the ten minutes and play plants despite the fact you get no benefit. Is it fair of me to apply that standard to other skilled players. Of course not. Should I expect you and other players of our skill to take into account everyone enjoyment when playing the game. Probably not. Yet I find myself expecting this and wishing more skilled players took into account how much fun everyone was having. Skilled players dominate any game they play but it is the majority of players who will determine the success of a game. The more people who enjoy this game the more support it will have and the more maps and expansions it will recieve.
