The game sucks

Ever since PopCap implemented the level up system I have had this burning desire to max out all the plants I have, even if it may take me 20 years or longer to get all the seed packets for all plants Question 1: If you think this game sucks, why are you still playing?

Question 2: If you really think this game sucks, why did you reply to AnonymousPvZFan23  in a way that made it seem like you disagree with his statement that PopCap and EA are being greedy?

Question 3: If you really have that much of a burning desire to max out all plants, why aren't you hacking the game?

Question 4: Why don't you ever directly quote people while replying to their comments? Using Twitter-esque "@" handles doesn't work here. ^^ This.

EA and other companies that do some of these f2p games are able to get their psychological hooks into us. If you want to keep playing in that fashion, then they're winning.

It may be extreme, but consider just deleting the game. I really do feel hacking is the way to go, but even then, I might be too lazy to do that. I'm on an iPad Air running ios8, but if I have to jailbreak to do that, then I may as well just delete that game and then move on to the rest of my backlog of video games.

However, doing all the math (seed packets + coins, and all the time and money to do so), there hasn't been enough meaningful content for me to even grind away. Them requiring triangular cost in gems to retain your Rewards Streak is such a turn off right there! AFAIK, it'd take around $500, plus lots of playing to get anywhere close to maxing out all plants! Nothing against those who choose to do so, or have done so. It just got "not fun", with the incentive gone to keep playing as much as I used to! Indeed, I realize that all that time grinding was wasted time since it wasn't fun anymore, but instead a chore, an obligation... a job!!! Now that I don't do it anymore, I certanly feel relieved and much less stressed. And of course, instead of "invest" that amount of money in this game I prefer to used for better thing like upgrade my rig or buy me other stuff that I need/want. I just hope more and more people realize this shameless scheme and by not playing these games, this eventually would lead to a much fairness and better way to monetized F2P games.
