    We should be able to spend coins on tracks

    Instead of only selling tracks for gems, we should be given the option to spend coins on them too since I (and I assume most of you) have thousands, maybe millions of coins and nothing to spend them on. Say, a track is 150 gems or 15000 coins.

    It would be way too cool to be allowed. (Obviously no way would be worth for RL)
    I have almost 10 million coins, and I have nothing to spend on. And there are many others having multiple amount of this.
    I would gladly spend even a million on a track. LET'S START IT WITH THE 2015 HALLOWEEN TRACKS!!! : )))

    I would say 150 gems would be closer to 1.5 million coins, or more. Coins are so easy to get, and are spent on almost nothing in the later stages of the game. Gems are valuable to everyone even in the late stages, and are much more rare to get (excluding tapjoy crap).

    I have just over 2000 gems and over 20 million coins, to put it in perspective. I am also a hoarder

    I is totally in RL's benefit to offer a way to acquire missing tracks. Since (after posting the LB query thread today) I just learned that there are so many tracks out there. Spending gold/chips/anything to get missing tracks is a fantastic idea, if many of them were even available to obtain some how.

    For some reason – and it seems I will die without knowing why the heck are they doing this – they refuse the release of the tracks we have been missing so long ago.
    It is obscure for me. Maybe they want to keep up our interest this way, or want to keep us in a constant waiting.
    And it works! : )))

    It's all about player retention. It is one of the nastiest marketing jobs I have ever experienced.

    I wouldn't expect it to be any better in Frontier 2 either.
