Not enough advantage for higher level

I don't really mind the diminished gains. The level rewards are pathetic though. After grinding hundreds of thousands of points you just get a few balls and berries etc.

Feel like I earned 5+ incubators at least and a few lucky eggs.

It is done so high level players don't dominate lower level players. I would agree it would be nice though if power ups were a bit stronger in levels 30+ especially as the amount of stardust per power up is very high.

I'm L32 and have stopped caring about XP (e.g. Don't buy lucky eggs any more). The only reward are a few poke balls and max potions plus the ability to add 25 CP to my maxed out mons, if I want to spend the dust and candies.

I think Niatic will eventually do something to change this because in a year from now everyone will be L30.

I think it is good.
I was best player in my city long time until winter came and now all players with cars will be higher level than me, cus i cant play game anymore.

I will be laughing them so much, cus they rlly dont gain any advantage against me hahahahaha xD

Thou winter here is seriously long, so im not sure how many damn levels they will get ahead of me.

I might able to hit level 34 same time with them but after that its all their show.

The main change I would make is the level up rewards for 30+ should each include at least one incubator, with more than one at 30, 35, and 40. Incubators are the main thing I care about now.

Agree 100%.. the game has become a LOT less fun since hitting level 30, and it should be the opposite - you SHOULD be able to dominate the game. There is seemingly no reward for playing hard. In fact, it's actually a penalty in that you get diminishing returns on your investment in the game.

Yet, I'm still playing. Go figure..

I'd be happy if they just allow us to catch higher level pokemon in the wild (I'm aware they cap at level 30). It would at least give us some incentive to continue grinding post 30.

I'm approx. 100k xp away from level 34 and it feels like we're just being punished the higher level we get.

Personally I would put in some pokemon that ONLY show up for level 31. Usually evolved forms.

Give them a different color ring under them like the Incence Swirl so you know it's only for high level player.

Make them spawn super rare at 31, with slightly higher chance to spawn each level up.

I'm level 33.5 and the meta for players at 30+ level is to create a strong team of diverse prestigers to level up gyms quickly with 1000 points per mon. And also to team up with others to control your area. We all got great mons, completed our pokedex, and know how to battle efficiently. I value my 900, 1100, and 1200 dragonites almost as much as my 3000 CP dragonites. Prestigers are the unsung heroes.

Try grinding at level 38.... i gave up grinding long ago, would use egg for exp event though... last exp event boost me from 37-38.... from level 1-37 took me 2 months, from 37-38 took me 2 months lol... just enjoy the game, dont rush for exp levels its pointless since pvp isnt out yet.
