These changes got to happen!
and finally 7. somethings gotta be done with incubators because what's the point of running through pinecos and mantines when you can get a fully evolved tyranitar

I think 50 coins is fine, but we need some source(s) of stardust from battling/raiding at gyms. The way we obtain coins currently by having to be knocked out is an issue, too.
I completely disagree with #3. That was the whole problem with gyms in the first place; you were essentially forced to pick from only a handful of 'high CeePee' Pokemon even though there are lower CP defenders that are actually better as defenders. CP is flawed and is meant to only be a rough estimate of power from less experience, and is not meant to have any actual influence on the gameplay. People can always put tiny 'mon in gyms either way.
You say "what's the point of incubators" but they're useful for filling out Pokedex entries and getting resources for Pokemon that aren't available from raids. We're currently at a point where a lot of serious players are pretty much done with Gen 2 entries and now we just got this 'raid' thing to play with instead of focusing on eggs. Whenever Gen 3 is released, the usefulness of incubators will come back to us.
incubators set at 150 coins is the issue here. when you can get a tyranitar for 100 coins plus TMs plus golden razzberries plus rare candies that's an issue. it's accelerating everyone's games and incubators don't really have a purpose. u can easily find a nearby nest of a desired pokemon and farm candies to complete the dex. i know that's not the case for everyone but here in NY it's pretty true. and yeah cp is a terrible way of measuring strength but when you can stick a 20 cp karp and it outlasts 3k blisseys that's kinda stupid.
The only bug that really gets to me now is this one:
I go into the gym, I pick my team. Something happens and the green battle button is now grayed out. when I back out the to the previous screen the battle button there is also grayed out causing me to exit the whole gym and renter starting from square 1.
