Suggestion: Infinity Time Rewards

If PopCap is never going to fix this mode to prevent constant crashes and disconnects, then they should also not deduct stars from your account until the game ends in a natural way--you collect your chest, or you select a button to return you to your backyard, I'll explain in a minute why you would do that. They should also make the game save shards as you play, so if you acquire 10k shards then the game crashes or whatever happens, the next time you start that mode again, you already have 10k shards in your account. And since the game wouldn't deduct the stars until a natural ending to the mode was reached, no stars would be lost when this happens.

I would also like to see a system where shards are saved up between games, and only spent when you decide. This game was supposed to be kid friendly, and accessible to everyone, pros and unskilled players alike. Not everyone can reach level 25-30 to even acquire the 25k shards for an infinity chest, especially playing on their own. So you shouldn't be punished because you're not as good as other players. Allowing people to save up their shards means if you only ever get to level 10 or 12, you just keep playing as many rounds as you need up to round 10 or 12 in order to accumulate the 25k shards for infinity chests. These people wouldn't exactly have it any easier, because they will need far more stars if they have to play multiple times to get enough shards, but at least they aren't completely shut out from infinity pieces like they might otherwise be. How this would work is instead of automatically dumping the shards into a chest at the end of the game (once you die) you're given the option to get a chest now, or save your shards and return to your backyard via a button prompt.

Lastly, just playing infinity should net you an infinity sticker. You have to pay to play this mode, which means you had to play at least 2 quests to get the 5 needed stars (barring the 10 stars quests) so you should get something out of it. Even the lowest level chest should give you 1 infinity cosmetic, second level chest nets you 2, and the infinity chest should get you 3-4 cosmetics or a character piece.

I have to believe PopCap was intending this mode to be fun to play. It's not. It's a broken, tedious, time consuming, annoying as hell, mess of a mode, which has to be fixed! The things I suggested would go a long way to make up for what they originally gave us--this disaster, and might actually get people to enjoy playing that mode.
