    You clearly don't even know what that phrase means.

    Well you guys pretty much assured I will never run out of coins unless I really try to.

    This is the second most amusing thing I've read today

    Please continue with this side argument. I really think it's going places

    I think you misunderstand what the word causation means

    Quoted for Truth. Also, just wanted to chime in that this is an awesome change so that all of us who are going for Gold Stars aren't just excessively bleeding coins, as this was my only real complaint about the game before. Thanks for listening to everyone's feedback!

    My wonderment is where did the idea for Facebook integration even come in? It seems like this game would have been a lot better if it were self-contained. not that it isn't really, really fun. But I am just saddened by the fact that all my stats and things aren't right on my PS3. I'm glad for the update on coins, though.

    for all we know all these coins and cred can be used in upcoming HMX games. so they would need 1 place to store it all

    I'm not really liking the coin tweaks. Before, my coins would hover between the 500-1,000 mark. So for me, it was just right because I was always right on the edge of not having enough coins for a full loadout for a song. Now, I've got over 42,000 coins. So at this point, I don't feel any need to participate in goals.

    Gotta say I agree. The tweaks are nice but a little too high. Coins don't seem like they're even terribly relevant at this point.

    Agreed. Before I had about 20,000 coins, but felt the need to not be too crazy with them and keep playing goals and new songs to keep up my stash. Now, it's trivial. I have over 70,000 coins and never feel like I will ever run out of them. There is no real drive for me to complete goals now, since I have a neverending stream of coins coming in from playing all my DLC.

    I feel that HMX was just overreacting to the overreacting players with little to no DLC and maybe should tweak the coins a little more so that goals feel important again.

    I agree with the above. Now the coins are pointless at this point as a good player getting 5* and gold star won't even lose coins. Means they can have a full loadout every time. It makes the goals un worthwhile. Is it possible to add the goals to RBB itself and not just be accessed through Facebook? Would appease more. I like the bonus coins, but now its not needed with the economy tweaks.

    Gold stars should give you 'even money', and all other performances should be a loss. Then the coins will mean something, the goals have a purpose. Because unless you can gold every song, then you will always be losing coins and it makes it worth while for the bonuses. Makes you do a LITTLE grinding. The goals would be the cushion.
