With 10% rake you need to win 55.55.. % games
With 1% you still need to win more than 50% - not a big difference, if someone is not able to maintain positive balance now, changing rake wouldn't help him either.
Also completly i agree with :
I don't think the point of coin games is to make money. I think the point is to gamble. It adds an aspect of intensity when your money is on the line even if it is just 80 cents.
Assuming there's no fun in it and you play coin games for money - that's not worth the time you spend on it.
But back to the topic -> no matter how high the rake is, you still need to win more than 50% games. That means that others have to lose more than 50%. And if someone is losing he will eventually quit. Warlight is not poker or blackjack - there's no way to dream about lucky cards and winning big money. After losing few games anyone can realize - "heh, i'm not good enough, no point losing more money".
Maybe Fizzer can add 200-coin monthly memberships as well. Or other coin-based in-game rewards, even silly decorative stuff like profile themes.
+1 Many players won't even try coin games as they can see '7500 is so far away'. Something more realistic could surely lure more people into it.
