3 also contributes to spoofers stealing spots from said friend. If god forbid the friend doesn't wait at the gym for those 10 minutes, it will be full of spoofers by the time they get there, because they have 10 minutes warning and even a timer (in the form of the defender's time) to get there right on time.

I hate this new Gym System,
God this system sucks let me count the ways.
1) The idea that you need your pokemon to lose, to return to you, to get rewards is the stupidest idea ever. I should want my pokemon to last and last.
2) Feeding System that favors cheaters
3) When 2 friends take over a gym. You can only put one pokemon in. The other guy has to wait 10 minutes. That is STUPID beyond belief.
4) Gyms take too much time to take over a level 6 Gym. Its about the same as a level 10. But a level 10 had to be worked up, a level 6 is just dumped into.
Why make us fight a 900 cp Tyrantir. It's not challenging, it's not fun. It's just a time sink.
5) Lower the Decay and Raise the Amount off per kill.
6) So the "Cap" is still 100 coins. But the rate is 1 per hour defending. What happens when a person loses 3 Old Gyms on same day? It wastes any feeding/etc
7) Gym Size 6 is a 40% Decrease. You added some gyms but you needed to add like 40% more.

Our town has been dominated by Valor. I can take down any of their gyms solo. But they don't get paid if I let them rot, because no one else in our town can or will do it. Oh well. You want me to take down your gym? Give me more than 13 minutes, which is what you gave me earlier today. Mwahahahahha!
I'm probably going to do this too...As I've posted before, I never let rivals build up, but having 6 instant mons and having to fight everything near 4 times is annoying...
Thinking about it again, they will just never feed it berrys and their motivation will decay till it's 1 fight to kick them all out...
Then they can all collect their 100 coins with either an alt account or passerbys when the CP is down to near 800 for everything (3000+ Blissey, etc...)...
I hate it as well.
The 10-minute rule bit another guy I came across playing today (not a friend; we'd never met). We were both attacking the gym that had ONE Gyarados in it. (And yes, it took me four battles to finally kick it out -- ridiculous!) When the gym was empty, I happened to be first and dropped my mon in. But the other guy (same team) couldn't. We chalked it up to system issues (it kept telling him the gym was under attack) and bad luck, and he gave up and left. But he was supposed to wait 10 minutes? WT actual F? So when my spouse and I go out together and take on gyms, one of us is going to have to wait 10 minutes? And that's on top of the extra time it took to take it down in the first place. I don't think so.
And I also tried to take down a gym that had two mon in it: a Blissey and a Snorlax. I battled the Blissey about 6 times without making a dent. So I gave up and left.
So is this our future? Sigh....
When fighting a gym held by other team, use all of those lower CP pokemon that are rotting in your collection. A 1300 Lapras can take out a 3000 Dragonite in short order. The bigger the difference in CP between yours and the defender, the faster they fall. I defeated a 2400 Blissey in three attacks this morning using 750 Graveler and 400 Geodude. But yea, it still sucks out loud, the whole thing about having to feed them and not getting coins until they return to you.
It's now 1 coin per minute, but you're capped at 50 coins per day! I used to have six gyms I could count on for coins, daily, and then whatever I cold take and cash in. Now, I have to wait to die and I can only get 50 coins?
I went all out the first couple of days, trying to play they way the intended. I spent ALL DAY feeding my guys and other guys, including using those golden Razz berries, and I cold barely maintain them. On the third day, three of my guys returned, with 0 coins! They had been in the gyms for three days, and I got nothing! Why? Because one of my other guys returned earlier that day, after spending 12 hours in a gym and I already hit my limit for the day. Oh, and all that feeding amounted to about 2500 stardust the three candies. 50 coin, 2500 dust vs 60-150 and 3000 - 4000. Why even try?
I've started putting my lowest CP guys in empty gym spaces, which are more and more frequent. As they slowly starve, I'll get my 50 coin/day pittance. Forget the stardust. It's not worth the effort.
Other people have begun doing the same. Put crap guys in gyms and you'll cash in.
