@asabaida Popcap shouldnt be adopting this grindy freemium system like what you would see in battle royales. It doesnt make players feel good when we paid money for the actual game, and then have to pay more money for more cosmetics, or grind for days to get cool stuff. There are plenty of multiplayer games with better alternative economies.
I understand that Rainbow stars are a premium currency, so it makes sense that Popcap won't let us get too many from grinding, as that would break it.
I still really dont care for the Rewardotron, and as much as I want it to be filled so I can pay 30000 coins for an item, not sure if Popcap will do it. It always felt like a temporary feature to me.
Popcap should at least charge Rux items for coins as an alternative to using Rainbow stars. Ideally, I would want these to be cheap, but Rux items are obviously premium stuff, so I doubt buying with Coins will be cheap at all. But at least the playerbase can have a better chance of getting cool items!
