Yes, yer all correct.We will always take the path with the least resistance to get something.
If the effort needed is too big, we might stop and do something else.
As a gamer (and I suspect that the vast majority of us are), I know that I try to Min/Max everything. Making the correct balance of 'Reward vs Grind' in whatever game you're making (and the Coins system is a 'Game') is very difficult, for several reasons.
First, I know that I'm lazy asf, and anything that takes a ton of time for too little reward will likely deter me (unless it's something I just like to do). But even if I like to do the inefficient thing, if there's something that's markedly more efficient that I like doing less, I'll likely 'grind' that and 'play' at the inefficient thing.
Second, players (and people in general) will argue in their own self interest, for the most part. Even if they suspect or know that it's not for the 'public good' or the good of whoever they're doing business with. As a shopper, I strive never to pay more than I absolutely have to, yet I get irritated if I see 'unfair' deals for people who don't analyze prices or are bad at math (Here's an ' Jumbo Super Economy Pack' of 64 condoms, on SALE! only $60, and here's the 'Normal priced pack' of 24 for $20).
