Why is everyone complaining?
We wanted an update now we got it.
It's still fairly new there will be bugs just give them time. I'm sure they are aware and are planning to fix it

7.Only using premier balls to catch a raid mon
Do you want not only guaranteed win against boss (with sufficient number of trainers) but guaranteed catch as well?
4.Worthlessness of level 1-2 raids
It gives an option not to waste free daily pass if you don't have comrade/time to find some to beat lvl3-4/come to lvl4 raid.
1.Gym Capacity 10-6
More than compensatied; Need only one gym per day; No prestiging neccesairy (6 places open instantly); More gyms
2.Motivation goes away without touching the mon
A good attempt to weeken abandoned gyms. Not perfect, unfortunately pkm do not return when demotivated
3.Mons 3000cp and over lose motivation faster
Where is the problem? Low motivation is no problem, putting a smaller pokemon is not either.

5.Rairity of TMs for some but not all
Statistics gets more fair with the time passing. Do big raids, sometimes you will get your machines.
6.Dodge bug not being fixed
Annoying, indeed. But this did not make the game worse, it is the same as before.

it is a mixed bag the raid system has definitely increased the social aspect, people are more engaged with chat groups etc, meeting people in person.
Some people think the rewards are to much (but there is a fair chance they were people that benefited more then average from the old system)
the gyms have a number of issues
reward to effort ratio is poor and inconsistent
even more cheater friendly then the old system
and OMG the bugs.
there is no incentive to build good defenders as there is barely any difference between a blissey and a pidgey in defense now
The ability to drop an extra mon into a half defeated gym and then keep feeding.
Hopefully they can iron out the bugs
hopefully they will tweek the rewards (to balance attack and defense)
I've made posts about people's complaints.
What I've found is that people are just too used to (or spoiled by, for some) the old system, which they have spent a lot of efforts in, and could numerically get more reward.
I think it's still kinda Niantic's fault? not because the new system is bad (i think it's a really good design, btw), but because it took them ONE year to put up a gym rework. That's y ppl are already so used to the old system, and would have so much complaints.
