Gym Changes are bugging me
I get Ninatic wanted more Gym turnover but they sure seemed to go overboard.
I don't mind the tear down part, but the power up part is ridiculous.
What they should have done is Tweak the goal of 10 Gyms. Make it 5. Double the Rewards and yet keep the same cap.
They also could Tweak the level 7-10 mechanic. Make those 6k per level and you would allow people to power up and power down faster.
Gyms become wasted on both ends, when the gym is "too much time to power up" and "too much time to power down"

Absolutely hate the new gym system. Spent a couple of hours powering up a local gyms (ranging from levels 5-7), used all my potions to get 4 of my defenders in. Within 1 hr after, ALL gyms were taking down by Mystic and my mons knocked out. What a complete waste of time and potions. Yah, no longer worth it to place your mons in gyms. Just going to collect now.
