Decrease the rewards from Raids

I think part of the problem with Raids is that the reward is too big for the effort.
Instead of giving all the rewards for defeating the Raid Boss, give options. List the different (possible) rewards:
1)TM (RNG for which type you get)
2) Rare Candy
3) Golden Berry
4) Chance to catch the Raid Boss Mon
5) A free Raid Pass (new item)

Then using the formula that calculates how BIG the reward is now, use it instead to determine how many choices the raid winner gets. 1 or 2. No more than 2 can be chosen for a single raid. The player picks the reward(s) they want.
This will still give nice rewards, but a lot fewer of them. It also gives the player some involvement, and makes them think through their own goals.

What do you mean? The current system is perfect!

I love it when the group takes down a level 4 raid boss and all I get is x24 revives! But little Timmy next to me gets x3 TMs, x6 Golden berries, x6 rare candies and no revives.

Best reward system ever. :)

^ This. I often feel like Charlie Brown in the Halloween special. All the other kids get candy while he always gets a rock.

I feel like the rewards are fine as they are. I'm not exactly rolling in TMs (1 of each after 20 raids), and I've seen only 1 level 4 raid.

Usually I'm just getting a bunch of revives and a few rare candies, but the potential rewards keep me coming back. IMO Niantic did a good job with this feature.

personally I think the "boss" catch should be 1 level below the final evolution. the current way is broken. I will have 2 Tyrans before I have my first Larvitar. Does that make any sense?
