New gym system is set up for former shavers

The best way to play is have two accounts on different teams and rotate gyms twice a day.

The next best way is to use the new defender tier system:

Tier 1: Pidgey
Tier 2: Caterpie or Rat or Sentret

Ive already seen this in action with low level accounts. And not that new pokestops are 250EXP per stop its even easier to get to level 5, pick a team and use crap pokemon to rotate the 50 coins.

U get 250xp for new stops? Does the egg givenu 500v

After rush calm down pidgey could became a viable defender :D

magicarp too.

True.
In heavy dominant areas you propably need second account if you ever want your main account pokemon out of gym and get them coins.

that's what I am seeing
I am not allowed to sit in a local gym for more then an hour
they are taking their own gyms down and just restacking.
I do not have the time to travel 45 minutes every day to an area with same team gyms (also likely spoofers/shavers)

I haven't cheated yet but it is getting very tempting to second account.

This is what I do not understand, if you do not get kicked from a gym you miss out on coins... You need to get at least 1 monster kicked per day... it makes very little sense.

Also 50 coins a day is a disappointment, at least with 100 coins a day you could buy a raid pass per day.

As somebody assumed it could became 50 for defending and 50 for attacking. Niantic still tweaking this game.

I too think the 50 is temporary

Didn't they test their new gym system before release? They earned Billions of dollars last year and they aren't able to design a working game? How bad is that?
They change the rules daily. WtF...

Maby Niantic will solve this issue.

The question is when.. Because the issue exists

It took them almost a year to "fix" the old gym system, so you do the math...

The problem is that Niantic wants to reward players for holding gyms, when what they need to do is reward taking them down as well. Award coins for winning battles both as an attacker and defender.

There is very little reward for holding a gym for either 1 hour or 1 week.

Great job, Niantic. After cracking down on spoofers/bots, you are promoting wide spread second account cheating.

I don't need an alt account, in my family we're on all 3 teams. But I really don't want to do this! Please, Niantic, fix this mess you have created!!!!

It plays right into the spoofers and botters too. Spoof to a gym in a closed location after hours, take it down and add your pidgey, set the bot up for 500min later to take out the pidgey with your alt account.

And to top it off legit husband/wife/families that are on the same team can't add more than 1 pokemon after they all team up to take a gym down unless you hang around for 10 more minutes. That just doesn't work in rural areas where you have to drive between gyms and don't just walk around in a big circle.
