You wiped on it because people thought they should stand in the circles, not click them.
You wipe in Rabanastre at every fight for all sorts of reasons. Though to be fair, that fight isn't clear about many of its mechanics.
And as players do yojimbo now, they don't ignore coins anyways because they can't damage the boss while coins are out. So in practice, most players don't fail the mechanic at all.
The issue, again, is that even when the mechanic is failed, the whole party survives--and not only survives, but survives relatively unscathed.
I don't know why people complain about the coins, its a mechanic similar more to Greg's frogs than anything.
Maybe if you listened to people's actual arguments, instead of attacking what you wish they'd have said, you'd know the complaint. Yay, the mechanic is easy to not fail! So are lots of mechanics in the game. But this mechanic, again like lots of mechanics in the game, doesn't punish you for failing. And again, as said earlier, failing in this mechanic would mean not picking up a single coin, or missing more coins than not.
