same here but

up for Snorlax returning after one day with 50 coins

down for Vape returning 2 hours later without any coins since the daily limit was reached already...

I don't get in which situation a gym defending system in which I do not want my mon to defend longer than maybe 24h for 50 coins is a good thing? I think that is total bullshit..

However, it got much easier to quickly get 50 coins but much harder to get them on a regular basis and obviously more than 50 is no longer possible.

For me the thrill is gone. Easy to get on a gym. Also easy to get kicked off. I used to keep a defender on up to 27 gyms and always got a minimum of 100 coins a day. Now, I could work all day and have very little to show for it.

I believe Niantic will not gain much from the change. I used to buy 1-2 incubators every day. Now the incentive to incubate is gone. The extra raid passes have novelty interest, but not for the long term,

I\m personally in the Old System.

I can't believe how much 'motivation" I have lost to do Gyms.

I used to LOVE defending territory and occasionally trying to expand.

I used to LOVE working on my Prestigers. There are 200+ pokemon in my dex now that are useless. I used to be happy to get say a Tangela Hatching. Now its, ho hum, whens Gen4 showing up.

The whole new system is just backwards. The idea I have to "lose" Gyms to get rewards is just silly. I also have no reason to attack anything but the 2-3 gyms closest to me. All I am doing it helping the other team get thier coins.

The fact that the rewards were dramatically cut, also loses motivation. I've spent 500+ on coins easy. But I did Gyms for Stardust more than the coins. The fact that it would take 500 berries just to match the 5000 dust I got daily is laughable.

In fact, with the motivation of 3000+, there's little point to increasing my Pokemon. I used to save up 300k dust knowing as soon as I leveled from 36 to 37 I'd drop that on 20 pokemon as they came back from gyms. Now, why bother.

I like raids, but even there having to use pass before you see if there is enough is a major flaw. I'd like a slight fixed Raid System + old Gyms

And as far as getting dust from berries, that is provided your team has gyms. My team doesn't have gyms any more. I found 1 gym held by my team with 1 pokemon in it. I added my pokemon and give it 1 berry...the other pokemon didn't need one...

In my city the gym contribution now is way more equal than before the update. And since it was really bubblestrat heavy here many lost motivation but now started battling again.

Here it just shows the true numbers of players on each team. High level players on all teams are now quitting. I can see how cheaters affect certain areas differently though. Our main spoofer is still out. Except now I just leave his gyms so he can't collect.

He can just double account from another team and flip his gym to collect.

I think they could have still removed cp for placement in both. That would have been best case IMO.

I prefer the old system. It had fair rewards for your work. The new one is unfair because you only get coins if the other team kicks your mon out. The cap of 50 coins a day is way too low.
Strong defenders don't play a role anymore. You can put any trash mon into gyms and bet that anyone will kick it out sometimes. It's not a game, it's a lottery.

Like the look of the new but negatives out weigh the old system, at least you had a chance to be defeated when attacking, now you just roll through defenders,

I prefer old system.
Stardust and high CP is barely useful anymore. I enjoyed getting my pokemon to high cp because they would be useful in gyms. It really doesn't matter what pokemon you put in now or if its 2000 cp or 3000 cp...
What's the point now? I will hang in there a little bit more to see what happens but my motivation to play now is low.

Why even put 2,000 CP in? Just throw in a Sudowoodo and hope that annoys someone so they will take it over.

How about the Old 10 (he'll or even 6) plus prestiging, implement the berry system, and keep the diversity/NON same pokemon per gym. AND PLEASE revert back to the Old coin system or have pokemon who hold gyms longer than 24hours get their reward at the end of the day..

Totally agree with you, i hate the old system, but if Niantic takes the good staff of this new one, and implements in the other, we may have an interesting porpouse in this game.

I have stuck a Bly, and Snor, and that sucks.

Level ten towers again - yes.
No CP rules, you get the slot in order of arrival - yes.
One per specie - yes.
Prestiging - Please.
Coin System - well, i think i gonna get a lot of hate here but...

Here is the point, put the 100 limit again, but the limit of gyms per player MUST be 10, no more than that.

After 24 hours, the Pokémon will return to owners collection. they can use this berry staff to keep the pokémon in gym, but spoofers will take advantage on that, so.

Right now is hard to be Niantic, there are a lot of people happy, and rage players that cry cuz they cut off they rent staff.

They may implement something like take down Gyms will give you coins, and maybe 50 for attack (take down a gym will give 10 coins, and they may do 50 limit here, so you take down only 5 per day) and 50 for defense.
