Niantic, Do you really WANT us to take down a gym?
There is NADA for me, probably the only one who can take down a gym solo in my town, dominated by Valor. Even with the change I have heard, it takes 18 wins to get hold of a gym that I will be kicked out of before a half hour is up. I am SOLO here. No one to join me to make it more difficult to kick me out. And the Valor dudes all get paid 50 coins, and I get maybe 3 coins and ABSOLUTELY NO STARDUST. You have taken ALL fun out of gym battling. Maybe give the winners a coin for every victory (spread out among multiples if more than one is taking down a gym.) Make it a max of 50 coins for offense and 50 for defense. I'm NOT taking down a gym for another team to benefit with coins under these conditions, and I bet there's ALOT more like me.

The way I thought it should be: 100 coins and 5k dust max per day as it was before, 50 and 2.5k for defending and feeding gyms in total, 50 and 2.5k for taking down gyms or lowering motivation from them.
This way the game would be balanced, people will have a reason to defend and a reason for attack.
- 1coin/30 mins and 50 dust/30 mins on defense, you get the first payment as soon as you put your mon on the gym even if it gets kicked out inmediately.
- 5 coins and 100 dust per mon defeated or motivation lowered on offense, this way you balance out in favour of people taking down gyms so they don't become stagnant (prestige is no longer a thing so offense should be more rewarding).
Numbers are just orientative, it could be other amounts, but I think we should get rewards both on offense and defense and make dust a reward again for sure.
