Another round of passes.

Another round of passes and no invite. Another couple of weeks and i am done. The contempt that this system, amoungst niantics other actions, shows ots player base. Just to much.

Sorry to hear that. I have yet to get my invite, although I'm actually somewhat relieved that I didn't get one this week because I've been away for most of the 'qualifying period' and I wouldn't have been able to use the pass had it been for my hometown. Another player on my Discord said that he didn't get a pass after his Sprint EX on Christmas was cancelled (one that was accessible and he was going to do it), so Niantic royally screwed over those players.

I had hoped the hiatus meant they were reworking things, but that was misplaced it seems.

I got my first today! In a city I'm on holidays. From a gym I raided twice in the last few days. Bronze medal, from wailmer raids. Obviously I won't be able to attend, as it was foreseeable... Thanks, Niantic

the areas most obnoxious spoofer got one.
a guy that i gave a lift to who had never been to that gym before, and is a lot less active then me, got one.
a guy that hasn't played in 2 months got one.
a couple of more ultra casuals got one.

admittedly a couple of dedicated players i know got one to but as the list stacks up, am going to give myself a couple of hours to cool down and then that might be it.

The one here is at the same park it is always at...Tues 9th at 1230 PM, a lot raid there to get an EX pass. Probably why they feel they can put it at a bad/weird day/time---checked the EX chat page, lot of invites were places that people raided this afternoon. Flipped around invites pretty quick. A lot of chatter about high to moderate raiders getting invites this week, before it was lesser raiders first, then moderate to active

it would have been good for me tuesday is my day off. There are 3 known ex raid gyms in my region all having a raid next tuesday so all closed for the week. Have uninstalled the app for the moment will think about it maybe reinstall when they reopen next week do a couple of raids and if no pass uninstall for good.

You have a definite beef, not about who in your area gets passes but why doesn't your area get more EX raids. My city has had them every possible week since mid Sept. Looking at the EX chat page, 10 to 12 different locations at pretty predictable places--EX parks, Sprint gyms---all in 33% of one city and there aren't that many really active raiders--in the hundreds, not thousands

...your city is lucky. Not all are like that at all. Thus the gripes. Again, almost 700 raids combined, regular and legendaries and no pass, in now 2 very heavily metro areas.

My town has had ONE EX Raid (the first round that ever went out), and I was lucky enough to be one of the invitees. Since then, not a single one in the entire city, which is incredibly active.

The town over, smaller and not more active? They've had nearly a dozen at MULTIPLE locations. Baffling.

Yeah my town hasn't had a single EX raid since they came out of the testing phase despite having three during testing. September 30th was the last one.

Same date here. Nothing else since then.

Got my first invite this afternoon.

Sprint store. Silver badge, a little over half way to gold. Raided there once last week for Sandslash and this morning for Magneton, both times with my free daily pass. Have raided there several times before including various T1-3 raids and one T5 raid. Except for the T5 raid, I think most of my raids at that gym have been with a free daily pass. I have 298 total raids, for whatever that is worth.

The friend I usually do raids with didn't get an invite. He also did the Sandslash and Magneton raids, but has fewer total raids.

True Niantic doesn't care about their players I'm done as well.

forgot to check my 6 year old sons account. level 24 set up one month ago to keep him occupied during raids on the holidays.

He got one.

Well, my wife got herself to level 26 pre-gym rework...I have her at 32 now. She got one, but I'm ignoring it...she already has one, caught a 2249 the 2nd EX week. My two have been 2209 and 2216.

But like I said, there have been 100+ EX raids in my part of my city since Sept. To not get at least 1 invite here you must only raid at roundabouts or churches.

I've just received one pass after I have done sarcastically tons of raids for this invite. Like 46 Groudons.

I should be happy if my friend didn't get his 3rd invite along with my first.

Small chance any of these raids are convenient for people. If you don't have one, sure find any which way to make it--whether skipping job/school/parenting. If somebody has a Mewtwo and didn't get an invite...they probably are just as well to do those other things that matter a bit more.
