Niantic solved the dust problem
Thanks to all the people complaining about a dust problem Niantic took action and nerfed rare candies. Now with candies becoming the limiting resource (just like before raids began) no one will complain he lack dust.
Thank you whiners.

More of a combination i think, Complaining about star dust but also complaining of no potions(legit reason) I have 3 Solid golems but it's like half the time i wouldn't have the potion to revive them because Ttars take a lot. I'll take this trade off. But to each their own, others may not like it so much. At Least i can battle without taking a break for once.
It's funny to me that so many people are complaining about having dust problems since the gym rework. My dust "income stream" hasn't changed. I get ~12K on a bad day, ~20K+ on a good day. What's my secret? I walk. Every day. Go to the park. Grind. Catch everything. Hatch some eggs (I buy several incubators at a time, average about one/day I think.)
I started playing because walking was doctor recommended for physical therapy/rehab after an illness. It was motivation to get me started. I now average ~3 miles/day.
As a walking player, as opposed to a driving player, I was thrilled to collect coins/dust on more than 3 gyms/day. Don't get me wrong, I stop at gyms driving home from running errands sometimes but by no means do I go out of my way to drive gym hopping. My suspicion is that driving gym hoppers trying to maintain 10+ gyms at all times are more likely to complain about dust than walkers. By a long shot. Can't get 5000 dust/day driving, even with Go+.
The game is called "Go" after all. Any other walkers doing ok?
I agree, I have been completely unaffected by this “dust shortage”, hatching eggs has always been my largest source of dust, trying to have 9 going at all times. The gyms in my areas have high turnover both before and after the rework. At most I’ve cashed in on holding three gyms at the same time but only because they were a block and a half from each other. Many times I was racing to take the third as the first or second were under attack.
It is winter, and so it is harder to go out - but soon enough I will be able to walk more again.
I guess we didn't get the advantage of gyms paying out without work throughout our Winter - we got the new gym system to maintain.
When the better weather sets in, then I am sure I will be able to get more dust - but in the meantime the change to spending on raid passes as opposed to incubators has had an effect even on me as a walker.
The reason rare candies are so common has nothing to do with their distribution. It has to do with the lack of need to evolve mons at all since so many are available fully evolved from raids. If you could not catch fully evolved Tyranitar (and others) candies wouldn't seem common at all. Dust doesn't really play into it.
it would have been nice if they had of just shifted some of the revives to potions instead. Why did we need 20 revives?
That was the moronic part unless it is like the advert with people going kamikaze with pickachu or the loading screen with people attacking tyrantar with starters maybe that's were they got their raid number recommendations from.
