The actual exchange rate is a tricky one but it has to be fair for those who play a lot and for those who maybe don't play as much too.
The situation with Rainbow stars is and will be a game breaker for many.
Even the prize map is becoming a serious issue for many players. Quite simply it is very difficult for many people to get the satisfaction and fun out of playing the game and earning rewards with this ridiculous currency system.
We earn coins which atm are absolutely useless once the Rewardotron is empty, which for many of us was empty many months ago.... unless you use the xp machine, personally Id rather just play the game and only have used the machine a few times since Founders to help out characters I'm not keen on playing.
OR cant finish the map for the Wizard and you can spend some on him. Sadly not for the legendary upgrades you missed from the map though as they will cost you rainbow stars.
And if you want buy bulbs to finish the map they will cost you 250 rainbow stars for 5 bulbs (cant remember the other prices for more bulbs) anyway that's a huge amount of rainbow stars just for 5 bulbs.
All this has to be taken into consideration... something has to be done about it as it has to be one of the most ridiculous, useless and unrewarding systems ever created.
As @ToastedSarnie points out once the map is complete there is little to no motivation for playing any more that month. You can just play watch your bulbs be earned but not applied (after you have saved your 50) and amass crazy amounts of coins that at it stands atm you can never use... there is no reward for playing more that month, in fact as time goes on and coins etc amass... while watching earned bulbs float away nowhere.... it feels more like a punishment.... and pretty boring.
....and thats not counting tacos, marshmallow and sheriff badges... we can change them for coins.... oh wait........ 😃
Edit: If they limited the exchange to 15/20 stars a weeks they may as well not bother.... that would also be ridiculous as costumes cost from 550 to a 1000 rainbow stars and legendary hats seem to be costing 750... so really 15/20 stars a week isn't going to help the situation at all I'm afraid.
Edit 2: What would be nice in relation to the "lost" bulbs situation would be if we could donate them to someone else who was struggling to have the time to complete the prize maps... this would many of us very happy and be a nice thing for the community overall 🙂❤️
@asabaida The thing that really gets me, is that the whole coin situation was predictable. In GW, once you completed the stickerbook, the only thing you could use your coins on was packs of consumables & the packs contained more items for a cheaper price than GW2. In GW on my old, maxed Xbox 360 profile, I forget how many millions of coins I have, but know that I have over 5000 of each of the most easily obtained consumables.
PopCap learnt from that with GW2 - put less items in the packs, increased the price & added more customisations (even though it most were alternate colours more than anything) yet still most max rankers have completed the collection & millions of coins to spare......but at least you CAN buy something! (I spent 2 million on Easter consumables just yesterday 🤣)
To introduce BFN without having made provisions for what players spend their in-game currencies on, I find truly bizarre.
This REALLY needs addressing & converting coins to rainbow stars (at whatever rate as long as it's reasonable for more casual players as well) is the obvious answer, if they're not going to add more items to Reward-O-Tron 🤷♀️

I would argue even if they do add things to the rewardotron they should allow us to exchange coins for Rainbow stars. The currency system as it stands absolutely sux from start to finish.
And lets face it... most of the stuff that is available on the prize map apart from the end goals and maybe a couple of others is just fillers/slabs/expressions which amount to nothing mostly.
We have had this conversation so many many times over the past months and the situation is just getting worse sadly.- @asabaida its because ea and popcap dont care what the community thinks. only what they think. and what they think is that they should have money. and the game shouldnt be fixed
- @asabaida And I would argue back that you're right! 😜😁🤣
I know, it's crazy that we've been flagging this since Founders & it's still spiralling out of control, putting the majority of us off playing.
