Petition to get rid of EX-raids!

I think the overwhelming consensus is that EX-raids are a terrible idea. And after being left out yet again (despite doing tons of raids at parks and previous participating locations week after week), I'm starting a petition: https://www.change.org/p/niantic-get-rid-of-ex-raids-in-pokemon-go

Not very optimistic this would work. But hey, doesn't hurt to sound off. Please share if you care :)

I care about Mewtwo remaining rare, so I will not sign it. We will get our chances eventually.

Sadly, I've been trying to tell myself the same thing for months. I agree that Mewtwo should be rare. But there should be a clear goal players can work towards. I don't mind it being rare. I don't mind the grind.

Just my two cents but I respect your opinion :)

I actually appreciate this. Not that I care about how rare mewtwo is, but your integrity and consistency.

But when legendary raids came out, I read many posts complaining about how common legendaries were. Fair enough I suppose. What those complaints meant was they wanted other people to not have legendaries.

EX raids come out, and some of the people that complained didn't realize that rarity means they won't get one. They can't use a scanner or spoof their way into an EX raid. They have to get lucky like everyone else. And so they complained constantly. I don't like the system either, but hey, I'm sure niantic knows it sells passes and everyone loves mewtwo.

This poster values rarity enough that he's willing to wait to get his mewtwo! I just want to say that I appreciate your attitude and consistency.

Thank you for being a rare person on the internet!

K_D's argument has a flaw; every other legendary in the game is as easy to get as buying the biggest fish from Tesco.

It's only Mewtwo they've made "rare." Why only Mewtwo? If you're bothered about legendaries being rare then Ho-oH, Groudon etc.should be equally rare.

Niantic have only made Mewtwo rare with the ex system as a way to make players spend more Wonga. All the other legendaries are common for the same reason; make players spend their Wonga.

Everything Niantic does it to make more money, the only thing they see is balance sheets.

I think a petition to boycott the game until they sort it out would be more productive, but there's too many blind sheep who will still spend so it's pointless.

no don't do it what would it gain, at least with EX raids then you have a chance to get a mew2 without them then you will never get one

The player here that raids more than anyone else, and probably spends more money too, has yet to get an EX pass. Very weird - thinks he's been blackballed, though he is not a spoofer.

I think they need to make EX raids achievable by reaching in-game parameters. At least there needs to be a sure fire way to get one for those who have been unlucky.
