A lot of Chinese content is like like that. You wouldn't give a shit about them for the loads of grinding and RNG needed to get em

Just play the game and try to get these content without hacks. Hacking in these games is a necessity. If you like to brag about how legit you are but also like to see yourself in last place, be my guest.

You cannot get these contents without hacks as you yourself know that you will never one of those 0.002% players owning these upgrades legit. Actually that's where you're wrong. I have never once hacked this game. I have middle range levelled plants and I'm consistently in Jade league and winning tournaments. It is just grinding actually that gets you to the mastery ranks. I'm not saying that's something to be proud of, but it does not necessitate hacking. What I was getting at is that Jade League is just an empty hall of fame that matters not. You have just reached middle ranged plants while others who hacked has max mastery which you will never reach meaning that raw power is something you'll never get which is a much better and long lasting reward than just reaching some league that doesn't factor in the efforts given to and you can get demoted from.

Sure it may seem nice to reach the topmost league but in esseence it's just as tantalising as opening a card pack In Heroes or cracking open a Pinata to see what's inside. It stays for a minimum amount of time and doesn't have value in the long run whereas if you hack, you'll get the rewards right away and then get a long lasting joy of making others lose. I notice you have a thing for instant gratification here. If someone is willing to pour the hours into the game, then they are capable of achieving mastery. It would be time consuming, however not impossible. There's a difference. There's a difference between pouring hours and a lifetime (by then the game will be discontinued from regular updates) for something that can be achieved easily. Time consuming is an understatement here from you; it would be impossible for anyone to legit reach max mastery for a plant even after 1year of constant playing (more if it's a premium plant) unless they reduce requirements by a lot.

Also, what I wrote above isn't wrong by any means. You aren't wrong either but if ethics is brought in here, hacking in a F2P game is mandatory if you want to reach somewhere significant (unless you start pouring in money like water). As I asked, you cannot give an example of a F2P game that player friendly. All of these games are geared towards milking as much money as possible by making the whole process tedious as fuck. Yes you have some points that are true. And also yes, levelling up every single plant would simply take too long. But it's really up to the player's discretion. I'm not disputing the fact that it is tedious.

However, if someone were to choose to semi-regularly spend time levelling their favourite plants, then that's really the only thing that matters is that they made their decision.
