I think it's only data from the Dec 11th wave but I think TSR really messed up this time. The survey is biased for TSR readers which most of them are hardcore players. So many of the conclusions could be wrong. For example their data show high percentage of high level players getting an invite, but how many low levels read TSR let alone answer a survey.
I know you meant it was data from the 1st. Regardless of what they found then, the Dec 11th raid invites went to lower level/barely active raiders (kids and moms: 3rd, 4th and 5th accounts) that happened to raid at the right park (a constantly active EX area). They are trying to fish fringe (barely active) players into not dropping the game. Bad formula and bad ideas.*** HarryTipper earlier broke a long drought of feeding us bad/wrong topical info
I just want to know, if EX raids are capped at 40 invitations, why don't they actually send them to anywhere near that many people? My area has had three EX raids (#3 pending for December 11) but the 2nd and 3rd both saw barely enough players invited to even be able to win if everyone shows up.
The system is ruling out the majority of eligible players in favor of sending out those invitations to no one at all.
Also, having to make sure to raid once per week at every likely gym is extremely obnoxious.
