I haven't spent any coin just to see how much I could get doing the missions/contracts in the 10 hr trial. I'm about 7.5 hrs hours in now and at about 48k so I'm seeing around 1,000 coin an hour with consistent missions/minimal free play

I think my 4 hrs was an understatement, that is Origin didn't update the numbers. Now it says 14 hrs but I have played some more as well. I haven't got a total tally since I spend my coin but we started at 40k. I bought stuff and landed on 12 I think. Played it up to 50k again and got myself a new arrival and victory pose! nanotm You can check under the challenges tab to see what gets the most coin for bang.

So as long as you don't want 'all the things' getting occasional nice things from coin seems perfectly possible. That just leaves those with little time and enough money to choose to fund the ongoing content, which seems fine to me. I had to quote this post, for the irony it reveals to me. My intent here is comparison; not trying to talk politics. What you just described is socialism, and the "whales" are happy to be the benefactor to the plebs. It is curious that it works here, and the whales support it, whilst IRL for them Capitalism Rules bruh. I would feel bad for the whales, if they weren't actually fucking everything up with their "help". I am not sure the process you describe is actually what goes on Sofa. In the short term, yes you get benefit from whale behavior. Long term, the gaming industry has changed to accommodate these idiots because EA doesn't need billions playing their games if the few playing it spend billions. It is a very bad catch-22, and I am always wary to praise it as I see it for what it is. Whales are limited. If everyone starts fyshing them, they'll soon run out of them.

A content provider also mentioned this. It appears the game design allows for rapid early accumulation of coin but then kicks in a diminishing return as you continue playing, by preventing repeatable missions.
Bio's final version of the game at launch may contain changes to this.

I'm was at level 9 and still getting coin. I think there are some bugs, obviously. One thing I noticed is, in the launch screen, I'm listed as "Ranger level 3" when I'm an "Interceptor level 9"... I have a feeling there will be a huge patch Feb 22

Are you hitting a point in the game with diminishing returns in coin rewards? A content developer mentioned this.

I for one am okay with coin gridning being hard. After all, it IS where they get their money from... You mean apart from selling a full price $60+ game in the first place, right?  We usually pay for game and then pay separately for DLCs and expansions (unless you invest in the dreaded season's pass...) for AAA games, right? And a vast majority of Anthem's DLCs and expansions/updates will be free, and if things go in right direction, they will continue for years. This 60$ won't sustain the game for that long, nope. Anyway - after 30+ hours, doing only one stronghold on normal, no quickplay, a decent chunk of freeplay, completing the main campaign, but not yet finishing all story content or missions for factions I earned roughly 60k+ of coin, and that's discounting 40k I got at the start. I've seen people trying to make a big deal out of the game having a finite set of achievements with gold rewards and thus arguing that coin grind will... well... grind to a halt, but I think they have entirely forgotten about multiple repeatable challenges, coin for strongholds and so on. Plus, the game will be updated regularly and I find it quite unlikely that we won't be getting more challenges and achievement rewards together with new content.

I've gone 5 hours in and raked in about 8k. Seems fair enough. Unless you want ALL THE THINGS, it'll be perfectly fine just choosing your favorite things in the shop (damn you b-tards for making N7 so expensive.... but expected.)

Anyone grinding SH2 on GM1 difficulty for items? I made some runs today but only with random people. Ironically enough I had 2 legendaries drop in a simple contract mission on hard earlier. Both in one mission. Nothing aside from 1 masterwork skill that I don't use in the SH runs so far...

thx  will do
... so finishing a world event in itself doesn't yield any coin I take it? (you probably have to do idk 5 or so?)
an N7HQ-style challenge-manifest would be grand

an N7HQ-style challenge-manifest would be grand  Yup, you will eventually finish some challenge for your world events that may give 800 or 2000 coin or something like that. Daily harvest is usually 800. Still 15 minutes on daily melee.

an N7HQ-style challenge-manifest would be grand  hit j in tarsis and check the challenges list, you can do the same when your in a free play zone or press m and click tracked, it gives you the "mission" goals for you to complete, and yeah its a minimum of 3 world events to generate a quest complete that gives you a few hundred coins, if your good you can smash out the 30 ultimate kills challenge the legendary and elite challenges and the harvest and melee challenges to give you a couple of k every day, if you swap the tracked freeplay missions from one location to another you can do this a few times a day, although it works better if you freeplay with a mate or two and team up and do all of the stuff especially the dungeon runs where your all but guaranteed to generate a revival medal and the stronghold quest complete and so on (its annoying though since theres no way to set a waypoint that ive found and flying off to the right dungeon for the tracked quest update is random luck) other than that you get loads of coin for successfully completing missions as an extra (dropping into other peoples contracts) which makes it the best way to farm coin, so long as your not getting loaded into that one mission to listen to the agents audio at the camp since it never rigging works....
