How many Ex Passes have you received VS how much have real money you have invested in game?

Curious to see how many players continue to dump money in this game and still haven’t received an Ex Pass yet.

I’ve gotten 5 passes so far with $0.00 spent in game. My wife one upped me and has 6 now with $0.00 invested.

One ex pass, no money at all, just raiding T1-T3 and having gold at that gym.

I have 7 Mewtwo, got another EX pass for Monday. My 6th EX pass since Jan 31st. Spent about $230 total, started playing first week game was released. Not really excited about Mewtwo, but I'm going for Joltin' Joe's all-time streak!

$230 is not bad considering how long the game has been out.
7 Mewtwos though; that’s crazy.

This would be my 8th Mewtwo...might not go, still considering. I had really slowed down any spending but I'm 20% through 39 and making a push to 40. Plus the current Ultrabox is a silly reasonable deal

Played since Sept/2016. Spent a hundred bucks or so every quarter. Got one and only Ex-raid pass a few weeks ago. As long as I have a Mewtwo, don't care if there is any more passes coming.

So you spent 0 here. You spend your money somewhere. I bet you burn up the internet pr0n sites with all that non pokemon money you are saving. You might have to pay for doctor bills to remove the hair off your palms.

One pass today, randomly hitting sponsored locations and previous EX sites. I've probably put in ~$30 total since I started playing July '16.

I find your post so sad and spiteful. You do know that the vast majority of players has not received one Ex Pass, right?

I gladly spent some $30 to $50 on the game, and will most likely spend some more. And my $ over Ex Passes ratio, you ask? Just fine. The thought of someone posting such a petty comment, yet being one upped at home (wife, sibling, whomever) priceless.

I actually don't know the portion of players who have received ex-raid passes. Judging from my discord group, I think most reasonably active players, in the area near where I live, have received some. We are a medium density area. My impression is that the distribution of passes is less generous in urban and rural areas, but I don't know that from personal experience.

I still don't like the ex-raid system, because it demands that I play at a particular time and place, when I do get a pass, and it seems pretty arbitrary about who gets and doesn't get. I think an ex-raid that could be used at any ex-raid time and location, and was received as a reward for completing a quest would solve these issues quite nicely, but I have no say in the matter.

I spend $0 and I got 6 raid pass. Level 40 with 40 million XP

But there is also question how much time are you putting in the game. you could be spending $10000000000 and only spending 5 hour in the game.

In my family, we didn't spend any money on the game. We spent money on the car though, just don't know how to quantify that. We have 21 passes do far. We are playing less and less every day now ever since kyogre and now Rayquaza. It's so difficult to catch kyogre and raquaza, and we don't even see any good IV ones, so we just play our free passes. I caught 8 out of 15 Rayquazas, and only see 2040 cp as highest cp. My highest cp for kyogre is 2290. So as you can see, the game is not rewarding.

In my family, no money spent in Pokémon go. We stopped playing this game from sept 2016. Replay it when raikou gone in Oct 2017. We had 44 ex passes so far and caught 43. I have 1 perfect groudon and 2 perfect kyogre. My wife have 2 perfect kyogre. The best rayquaza I have is 2078 and 2077. 98% IV. So for us, this game is rewarding.
