[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 285708, member: 134"] You need 750 coins to purchase 3 tables outright. So yeah, $20 and you'll have 50 coins left over. I agree this is not good for someone just getting into the app, and completely agree that it only gets worse as more tables are added. I do not agree that people just want to play pinball, mainly because I enjoy doing the the daily challenges and rarely play a regular game of pinball on the app...I save that for the PC. If the mobile app is your only source for playing, then yes that statement is probably more correct than not. As I am discovering daily, and I want to make this message loud and clear, [B]if you only have 3 tables to grind for, you can do it relatively with ease while not spending a single cent[/B]. I am earning 36 table parts daily, averaging 7 coins per day which translates to 100 every 14 days, and have not been struggling for tickets so long as I manage them properly. I don't know what it'd be like if I were collecting for 6 tables at one time, and I can say pretty confidently that needing all 10 is probably an effort in futility since just as you might start gaining traction, the next pack of 3 is going to drop, which means you'll never be able to earn coins fast enough to pay for the final upgrades on all tables before more arrive. Next time I talk to Mel, I'm going to present all my findings and see if I can shine a light on the fact that something will need to change. Maybe offering the limited time price on whatever pack you choose [B]every time[/B] a pack drops, or putting the coins on sale once a month. As someone that enjoys the grind, I think the coin drops need to be more plentiful, averaging closer to 15 a day. I also think never mind if you haven't upgraded to 4 stars, if you have the final 100 parts needed then you should not continue earning those parts.
