What do you call these people?

So there's botters, spoofers, shavers and snipers, but what about these people...

Some backstory first. Where I live Gyms are mainly under Mystic control, followed by Valor and then a smattering of Instinct. I happened to join Instinct, so I'm very selective when I participate in a Gym. If I see a rival level 7 or below Gym, I'll spend the time to take it down and install one of my best defenders in the hopes of some other yellow team members joining me. If I see a friendly gym that is below level 10, I'll prestige and throw in a great defender that adds variety to the Gym (I don't shave, never will.)

Unfortunately I'm noticing a select number of players in the area that take down rival gyms and then install 3 maxed out Blisseys. I always cringe when I see that and move along. Those gyms never last for more than a couple of hours because the Mystic folks can easily take down a level 3 Gym that's Blisseyed out.

Am I wrong to think that they're system of installing 3 maxed out Blisseys is just plain stupid? I have a high CP Blissey that I only save for the 9 or 10 spot, that way any rival teams who want to break into the Gym have to go through her first.

So what do you call these people? Blissers? Tankers? I feel like there needs to be a category for these players which IMHO are not thinking about the rest of the Yellow team when they set up the Gym with such difficult mons to prestige against.

Please chime in with a great name.

I saw a gym like this and instead, it got prestiged to level 10...4 Blisseys or something on the bottom and I passed.

Sadly, I didn't bother, but now, I am locked out till there is a spot...Since there are so many Blisseys, it should last longer, but somedays, you just don't have the time...

It is rarely worth it to prestige multiple Blisseys, it takes too much time, uses up too much sprays / revives and isn't very fun.

On the other hand, to take down a Blissey gym isn't really difficult. I take down a single Blissey with an Arcanine who is up to 100 cp weaker, or use two Arcanines (only one faints) if they are about 1000cp weaker.

I don't have a great name, but they are not thinking beyond that day's "collect" button press.

Not everyone has a plan beyond the current moment.

Selfish/stupid.

It's annoying but as you said, there are other enemy gyms nearby. Focus your energy on the Mystic gyms instead. Make them Instinct.

I would imagine that some one or a team has got tired of a spoofer an is putting in 3 blissey to make the spoofers job as hard as possible for the least amount of effort. That said with 3 blissey if they all go in at the same time it sounds like a multi account which is often a spoofer to so if I had to guess I would say spoofer vs spoofer.
To give it a name maybe the spoofer proofer ; (

botters, spoofers, and shavers (using multiple accounts) are cheaters.
Snipers are a-holes.
Blissers are just idiots.

C*ckblockers lol. I noticed opposing teams in my area doing similar tactics. They use a low level instinct account and throw weak pokemon in the open gym spots I build.
