Increased CP drain rate?
Is anyone else noticing that CP suddenly seems to be decreasing much faster on defending pokemon? Pokemon I put in gyms 7 hours ago are already almost completely drained of all motivation, and I'm watching their CP drop about 1 point every 15 seconds. These aren't >3000 CP defenders I'm talking about, but like a 2703 CP Rhydon and a 2070 CP Cloyster, to name two. When I checked a few hours ago, they were still almost full. That Rhydon had 910 CP left half an hour ago, but now he's down to 788, and I gave the Cloyster a golden razz, but it's already back down to 1980 CP.

Holy cow!
I can't believe it took this long for them to realise that <3000CP and >3000CP behaved differently.
...and the fact they think people will be accepting of everything degrading at that rate is astounding.
The more they do, the more obvious it is just how out of touch with the community they really are.
Of course, remote feeding anything but a golden razz is pointless now. The main problem is, it seems like no matter how many gyms you have, now they'll all get wiped out every morning and only be worth 1 day's coins. I have to drive a ways to get to gyms, which I don't do every day, so when I do I've been putting defenders in a bunch of gyms at a time, then counting on some of them to last 2 or 3 days to spread the coins out. I think I'm going to have a lot more days where I get few or zero coins now.
At least now we'll only have to do most gyms once to take it, was repetitive before & v bland when all pokes were full health. Still preferred the only gym system, where defending/moves mattered somewhat, am not sure Niantic know quite what they're doing at the moment, maybe if one or two of them actually played their own game they might make a better fist of it, or alternatively, listen to the community.
Well I'm quite shocked, now the gym system is totally ruined. Every morning all mons will be down to 0 motivation, and in practice this can't be healed with normal berries. The 2x level players won't be happy either.
And LOL at "Resolved a motivation decay bug", it was totally obvious an intended feature, not a bug. Do they think we are stupid? It's like Niantic trolling us.
