New to this forum and up until a week ago I played solo. I didn't realize the significance of friending people to this game as I have basically just learned the game as I went along. I have two questions that I think some of you might know the answer to:

1) Once I opened all the rooms on my screen what use is there for all the coins that accumulate? Can they be used for anything other than opening rooms?

2) I'm starting to read this Wiki side info and saw this "Hiring is something that is completely self contained within your own game and does not effect your Friends.". I was surprised. I just figured that others got a benefit, too. And now I see how many rubies I have wasted energizing friends as I thought it helped them. Poop.  My question is that when I go to Visit Friends and help them by clicking on their rooms or top bar icons I have discovered that the friends I "hired" the previous days often issue me an additional "gift" when I visit them. Does this make sense? So I am thinking there is a reason to keep hiring people other than the obvious Ranger or XP help.....
