I dont think it's a bad idea -

If there was a high priced item I was seeking, I would be tempted to by 'price improved' coin offers - rather then trying to convert yo cash into coins

Agreed

I also agree. In addition, since the ads stopped working for many of us, getting coins has become a pain in the ass . And the deals don't offer many coins either.

Back in the day we used to discuss this a LOT. At the time - ZYNGA not BVG - took the official position that they didn't want to be responsible for "setting" the yocash to coin conversion rate. Meaning if they adjusted the coins a player could buy to be consistent or even close with the current yocash to coin rate, that supposedly would ultimately "set" the market at that forever.

Me being the conspiracy theorist that I am, understands that coin conversions drive yocash sales. The higher the rate, the more likely players are to BUY THEIR OWN yocash. Thus creating a new customer. BVG is no fool. They know this too.

i still think 18$ for only 1.5m coins is extremely low and something should be done about it

My solution would be to drop coin sales by BVG entirely. I'd also start peppering more coins into my yocash deals as an incentive to buy.

For example - I'd sell a $10 yocash deal for 100 yocash with 2M "bonus" coins.......

What would you spend the coins on? Most things BVG creates these days are sold for YC or real money. How long would it take a player to spend 20 million coins shopping in the stores only?

Adding more currency to the game will only increase prices. If I have 100 million coins and I have an item you want to buy, how many coins are offered? What do I do with more coins? Not much is in the stores for coins so it leaves me with a pile of useless currency.

Because there is so much currency in the game most things are put in some form of gambling or in a cash package. Adding more currency will not help the game or the player in the long run.

Players might also then demand BVG make more coin items for the store, saying that they sell coins so it's only right to make items to spend the coins on. I would imagine the prices of coin items would increase as well.
