First raid .....thx to gym hunter ( end of solo players )

So I did my first raid after days of no playing with the fact that I cant even find out if a raid is there or not , tried to go 2 or 3 days to check of any but no luck ,
When gym hunter ability to show raids now I as finally able to go to the gyms area with a lvl 4 ahead and for my surprise it was a T-Rex indeed , but no one was around at all I spent the pass any way with a hope of some spoofers or so but sadly no luck I failed as you would expect
Did a lvl 1 on the way home pretty easy saw a lvl 4 lapras but didn't even try , no one in sight
Conclusion of the story, solo player is gonna be dead soon , not sure about groups challenges now is either so easy for solo ( lvl 1 and 2 I would expect ) or impossible lvl 4
Lvl 3 ( yet to do one )may be the only thing out there but how long will it keep us attracted.....?
