Why won't my Pokémon just die already?
My Dragonite has been sitting there fully unfed and absolutely vulnerable, along with EVERY OTHER POKÉMON IN THE GYM, for almost TWENTY FOUR HOURS.
WHY WONT YOU DIE. WHY CANT I RECLAIM YOU EARLY AND TAKE MY MONEY.

Even though it's faster than clearing a level 10, it's still slower than clearing a level 3 gym...also, the defenders didn't have to do ANY work to open 6 spots so if you tear it down, they knock you out, and put 6 more back...
Hating the new system myself...
18 fights, even easier fights at the end is just annoying when you will probably get less than 10 coins to begin with and with no prestige, I think the rival team just laughs that you wasted all your time (don't even care about potions since I have so many now with no need to prestige gyms...).
Cut your bellyaching. In March, I knocked down a level 3 gym that had been changing hands 3-5 times daily. Thought, what the heck, I'll throw in my only Dragonite.
Got him back when the gym update flush happened. 3 months. At least he got me 10 coins and some dust daily. Had 67 candy and couldn't bump him up. Now I bump him, and find out that over 3000 you lose motivation way faster. Aaargh.
Oh, wow, 24 hours! On Monday I had defenders in seven gyms, some of them out for over four days. None of them returned. I placed three more in a high-overturn area ...where they remained. At midnight, still zero coins. The next morning, three defenders are home. By afternoon, all of them had been kicked out.
When they announced this new system, I was expecting the mons to come back home if their motivation meter was 0. Would have made sense you actually had to pass by your gym and keep the critter fed or else the gym slot was considered abandoned (and would have helped with removing players who no longer play from a gym).
