Golden Razzberry Blissey Loop
Last week I asked if one makes use of the 'GPS to your own gym' feature and stop attackers by GPS feeding golden razzberries (if you support it or not, I couldn't care less), but if you were on the attacking end and knew someone was actively monitoring the gym and GPS golden razz feeding their Blissey, will you give up?
Last time I've done GPS golden razz feeding my Blissey I was actually bluffing- I only had 13 of them left but I made the impression that I was stocked and determined to defend the gym.
Today, I was honestly happy that someone was willing to clear my stock of 53 Golden Razz by hopelessly attacking my Blissey. Needless to say I am not bluffing this time and the attacker also gave up eventually.
Do you keep attacking in these situations?

If it was a gym near me that I could build a little badge experience on, and I was by myself or noone with me was getting frustrated, and it was not in the middle of hot day, then I would keep going. I probably have more max potions that I need to get rid of than they have golden razzberries that they need to get rid of.
I've been on the feeding end myself. One time, I parked right next to the players trying to take my Gym down. Golden berried it for a little over an hour.
They drove off, so I drove off to do some grocery shopping. Come to find out , they just did a loop around the block to make me think they left.
They continued to battle it down and I kept feeding it. Was in the store for another hour and they still kept going . I literally came down to using my last Golden Rasberry and was thinking now I'm gonna have to spam normal berries, to try and buy some time even though they wouldn't really do anything being so far away. Fed my last Golden Rasberry and I noticed they stopped battling it down.
Talk about perfect timing but they were persistent for over 2 hours straight.
Personally, I have 2 rules for Gyms:
1) Don't attack if 2+ Mon have been on the gym less than 9 hours.
2) If they've been on for more than 9 hours and are at full motivation, ignore the gym.
So if I'm attacking a Gym, I'm essentially doing those players a favour since they won't get any coins for those defenders until they're defeated and return to their trainers. If they decide that they're going to try to stop me from kicking them off by feeding them berries from a distance while I'm taking down the gym? Fine, I won't let them earn any coins that day; no skin off my nose. I see it and I laugh, then move on to a different gym to take down. Or look for one of my team's gyms that has room on it and toss on another defender.
On the flip side, if someone is trying to take down a gym I'm on and I haven't been on it for more than 9 hours, I have, on occasion, fed my mon's berries from a distance. I want my full amount of coins; you wait for me to be on the gym that long and I'll make it easy for you to kick me off. You try to take it down before I have my full amount of coins, I have no problem making it harder for you to kick my mon off.
Funny I dealt with this last night, I took down a gym, put a gary in and 5 mins later those 3 took my gym back, I am trying to make it a gold gym so I went back to battle they keep feeding their mons so after 10 mins I gave up.
But Low and Behold down the street was another 1 of thier gyms, So I took it down put in my Best Blissey and set the trap. Once they showed up lets just say my Blissey was had a full tummy all night. After 15 mins they gave and we both got to keep a gym for the night. LOL
I'm glad my local Pokemon go community isn't filled with people like you. Some people take this game way to seriously/personally. With the daily coin limit having a value of 50 cents I'm pretty sure I can find better things to do with my time. The whole remote feeding thing is stupid and shouldn't be in the game
I'm just playing the current meta. Trying to get some more Gold Gym Badges so I can get more items per spin. I'd be happy to go back to the old system where you had to prestige to get yourself in a gym. It can have 9 Blisseys too and it won't bother me. Feeding Golden Berries is the only way to try and prevent your gym from getting taken down since it's way too easy now.
