New coin System

Been thinking about this for a while:
If we are going to get coins when our pokemoms are returned (motivation going down to zero)....
What's the point of attacking a long-settled gim, giving the owners of those defeated and returned pokemons, lodsa dust and coins?
Mere speculation here based on what I've been reading tho.
What do you think about this? As a defender you lose a possible attacker for a long time (same as before) but you also get neglected the coins and dust if you sit there for too long???
I just dont get it

Why so salty about people gettin rewards? I dont get it

being salty wasnt my intention. mb :thinking:
Pre-update, sitting for a long time in a gym was great. Dust and coin income.
Now it just seems that it isn't as good to sit for a long time in a gym, as for some people might choose not to take down a gym for the sake of not giving others any prizes.
If that is to be salty then it also is to take down a gym pre-update to cut the coin income of the other trainer...

You're worried about a mon staying in a gym indefinitely and not being able to generate rewards?

Exactly

It won't happen, as the defenders will be returned periodically as the gym prepares for a 'Raid' - your mons are returned and a counter starts.

I'm not following.

They can collect only 100 coins a day. If you kick them out after a year, they still get 100 coins (and wasted tons of berries for nothing).

are you sure this is how it works? they only get 100 coins max no matter how long the defender Is in the gym?

or how many come out in a day. you can be really unlucky and loose out on tons of coins if a bunch of long time defenders fall out on the same day

I saw it confirmed by a Niantic rep on TSR that 100 coins would be the daily max, but I hope it's "pay as you go" so you can get coins throughout the day for whatever (taking over gyms, feeding your gym defenders etc)
