    Can anyone who likes coins specify why? (Concisely, and without snark; I gave up halfway through the other thread). Also, let me first anticipate the following reasons:

    "I have enough coins because I have a large DLC library/like to play different songs."
    Nice, but still, you'd be able to play like that even if there were no coins.

    "I like to play without powerups."
    "I like the Facebook integration (Score Duels and Goals)."
    To both, I answer: great, but you could still enjoy that even if there were no coins.

    "I'd like to get a reward for Score Duels and Goals."
    Now this is valid; I'd say, however, that coins are not needed. You could be rewarded in Blitz Cred and there wouldn't be any problem then.

    If there is any other valid reason for keeping coins (when their negative side has already been well established) I'd love to hear it, cause I haven't seen/can't think of any. I'll admit as I don't like the coin system I could be biased and therefore can't think of something obviously positive for coins, which is why I ask.

    read the other thread. this thread was made to be a discussion free simply yes or no type of thing

    but just for you. the short version of my answer was that it makes it more challenging, and i like that

    There is no reason to keep them, they need to get rid of them

    all hail the all-knowing RSM, he knows what everyone wants and what is good for this world.
    Everyone should listen to and agree with his silly statements that have nothing to support them!

    at least they seem to be willing to tweak it.
    Which i agree on that that might be a bit necessary

    The idea is great. It would make more sense for an unlock system than for the power-ups, though.

    even though the votes are tied, you have to remember, that people who fall into the "dont mind if coins were removed since it wouldent affect my game" are more likely to vote for better simply because they can currently play the way they want.

    and you should also consider that with a few tweaks to the system the "dont want coins" would fall in the don't care category
