@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.
- 6 years ago@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
- 6 years ago@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.
