Are you spending more $ on Pokecoins or Less
Title says it all

Nothing since october, each update they bring on more bugs without even fixing previous ones, issues to my phone battery, its life duration and the game experience for people from small areas, emailed them many times because their way of making the game is killing so many phones, not even an answer.
Also they are not giving me any reason to spend money on the game again, they don't think about me and other players that don't live in bigger populated cities so why would I care about them as a company? You have to build a relationship between the customer and your product in order to make them want more, a good relationship, and I think the list of the bad things of this game is like 10 to 1 vs the good ones, 10% is something that with any other game that did not had the Pokémon franchise name on it would have mean the dead of the game and the company in less than a month.
I'm not giving them another dime. I never really spent a lot but during Halloween I maybe spent $20 on incubators. Maybe $15 at Christmas and the same in Feb. Haven't given them a dime since.
They don't deserve any more $. Why when all the work and effort I put into my mons don't mean anything anymore?
Less.
Spent over 100$ so far, mainly for incubators.
Now it feels they just stole my top defenders, a Blissey and two Snorlax that I put so many candies into that they reached over 3k, after a lot of walking and hatching.
Until I get these back, I will boycott this game.
Well, and of course make gym defending worthwile at all. Otherwise there's not much to play for.
Still the same at $0. I had lots of fun figuring out ways to efficiently and legitimately maximize my gym coins pre-update, figuring coins would eventually become more useful or more difficult to get for free. Now I'm sitting on 19922 and haven't found anything that I want to spend them on yet.
P.S. My guess is that one of the next events will involve extra stardust from hatching. Step 1 is to get revenue from people doing lots of raids, getting a bunch of big Level 20 mons with whatever TM'ed move sets they want. But of course, what good are fantastic Level 20 mons? So, it seems like Step 2 is to get revenue from people who need lots of dust to power them up to be useful for legendary raids.
So is the new gym system even more fun to figure out how to maximize coins (granted the target is lower)? Seems like you need to have easy access to several gyms that turn over steadily, but not too quickly... former safe towers are not good if they aren't attacked. How many gyms do you have to be in to collect 50 coins daily?
I agree that there is probably some fun to be had figuring out how to maximize things in the new gym system, but I haven't taken time to think about it yet. If my coin stash gets lower or my interest in spending coins gets higher, I might. Until then, I'm just going for a gold badge on the one gym I pass regularly on my dog walk.
Less, much less. Somehow I'm managing to get about 50 coins a day as the gyms in town, formerly usually blue, now get attacked by Valor a lot (thanks, I'm happily returning the favor), and that has been enough. I'm not buying incubators or balls anymore, what for? Maybe some incense, if I feel like catching some pokes at home, but I still have some.
Thanks, Niantic, for that at least. I used to spend a good amount of $, but what for at this time? I'm getting close to level 36, but again - what's the point of leveling up anymore?
