That even after "balancing" and what not, stuff just isn't like before. So since you said, quality over quantity, even with just 5 plants, they having a bad time with it.

Speaking of plants, what's stopping them from introducing more plants from other games? Nothing. Balance, that's what stopping them from just adding plants from other games, say what you want about how they're strong, useful and what have you, but most of the plants from the chinese games (I'm assuming that by other games you are refering mostly to the chinese games) are simply not balanced, they are overpowered and you can clearly tell the people who made them didn't really put much thought into them, they had a basic idea, implemented it and then just left it at that. That's not how you design a game, you have to continuously test them, considering all the important factors and see that they don't leave the player at a disadvantage or with a complete advantage.

Now that's not to say PopCap hasn't made any mistakes with their own games, because yes, PvZ2 has some underpowered plants and overpowered zombies, leaving the player at a disadvantage, but that is to be expected, no game can always be perfect, but these things could always be changed in the future, but if they just keep adding more and more content than the chance of things going wrong increases and we'd have a game full of plants like Bowling Bulb and zombies like Wizard zombie. Personally I'd like PopCap to take some time to go back and review previous worlds to balance them better, but they just can't do it because people keep asking for more and more content and they just can't keep up with the pace that all you would like them to and then you all complain about how the game sucks now, not realising you are part of what's causing the problem.
