Despite the free prem plants, it's designed as a pay-to-win game, meaning that if you don't spend any real money, it'll be near-impossible to beat 100%. While I agree to most of your points, this is wrong.

The Chinese version basically has the stars that the international version left out and that's where the challenges lie in.

However, it's not pay-to-win. I'm currently 100% in all worlds except for Far Future and so far I haven't paid a single dime (and even if I wanted to, I can't cause my shop doesn't work). So, I have to rely on my skills.

Also, as far as i know, I will be able to get 100% in FF too without wasting any of my grinded gems.
