No, of course not

Despite Niantic’s statements about who is favoured by EX raids, the analysed data showed that gym badges did not aid players in achieving EX raids and having completed a larger number of raids disadvantaged players in achieving EX raids.

GET READY TO BE ARRESTED FOR FRAUD!!! YOU KNOW THAT WHEN YOU HAD RAIDED OVER HALF ALL OF THE ELIGIBLE GYMS IN THE SAME S2 CELL YOU CAN'T GET A SINGLE EX RAID PASS YOU KNOW SOMETHING IS HORRIBLY WRONG. ARREST JOHN HANKE FOR FRAUD, ONCE AND FOR ALL.

THE FOLLOWING IS THE DISGUSTING RESULT OF ME HAVING A WHOLE DAY FARMING RAIDS FROM 1 S2 CELL....HAVE FUN!!!!!!

I will agree that their EX raid system is terrible and should have been reevaluated/scrapped months ago. But getting John Hanke arrested for EX raid "fraud" is about as likely as my cat suddenly learning to speak fluent English with a Southern accent.

No, they stole the only one I ever got and I doubt I'll get another. So I don't even try to raid at eligible gyms... not wasting my time or passes.

The EX-raid system is a major failure... agrees everyone except the lucky lottery winners.

Did Niantic ever give you a reason why it cancelled your EX Raid invitation on Christmas Day? I feel like Niantic owes you at least an explanation, rather than just "compensate" you with two premium raid passes.

I believe Niantic cancelled all the Christmas Day EX raids that were going to be held at Starbucks/Sprint gyms since the stores were closed. EX raids at park gyms that day still went ahead as scheduled. As far as I know, Niantic didn't reach out in any way to let players know about the cancellations, and instead just revoked those EX passes and replaced them with a couple premium raid passes and (I think) a sprinkling of stardust.

Ah, okay. That really is a bummer for those who got their passes revoked. =\

That's correct. No notice, no explanation, and a totally inadequate "compensation" for stealing something irreplacable.

I wish EX raids would just go away! Every time, when people brag about getting one (I remember), it reminds me of this ....

Aside from the lack of any explanation and inadequate compensation, I think the worst part about them cancelling those EX raids was that it totally ruined people's day who scheduled time (on Christmas Day, no less) in order to do that raid. In many cases, people did a lot of rescheduling in order to work in the raid that day. Then Niantic goes and sweeps the rug out from under them. You have my condolences for being cheated out of that raid.

Yes, we spent last Saturday triggering 7 gyms with 50 people in Rotterdam. 5 of those gave away passes.

Hey, I'm that group too, what's your nickname? We only tried to trigger 6 and 3 got a pass.

Modern art was not on the list but still got a pass.

Yeah, I'm from Capelle so I also did Modern Art (7th gym for me). So it's 4 gyms that got a pass instead of 5, you're right.
And my nickname is Saltyfoefoe.

Didn't get one, as well. It's a bummer, but I'll just keep on doing what I've been doing the whole time and raid in eligible gyms, and maybe one day, I'll get lucky and receive my first pass.

No I didn't....
but my girlfriend did...
I'm raiding with both our phones...
she rarely raids...
I did the raid with both our phones and I targeted the gym in question specifically...
I have the gold badge for that gym...

Not this time either. Still waiting for my first, as are a lot of dedicated trainers. I’m almost level 39 and have raided pretty much every day since the first raids started.

But I still have fun with the game, and have plenty of goals that I set for myself to keep it fun (it is a game after all).

The only thing that I’m sick of is hearing everyone who whines on a regular basis about how they didn’t get one. It’s kinda ruining this forum... especially the ALL CAP rants. Sheesh.
