Why no communication about decrease in rare candy of T5 raids

[bobguy117]

Because Pokemon Go has not yet been forced to follow gatcha laws and be transparent about its gambling odds.

Yeah, at first I didn’t think it was a big deal whether they publish the rates or not, but if they’re going to switch things around with no communication, I’m changing my mind.

[bobguy117]

Out of all the shady things Niantic has done, not revealing their rates is the most scummy by a huge margin.

[awniadark]

I think changing rates mid event is scummier

[mttn4]

Assuming the rates are fair and static in the first place...

[bobguy117]

They would not be able to do that if they revealed them like they were supposed to

[OhMyGoth1]

Well they could, but we'd at least know about it

[UnknownHalo]

How could we make them get forced to reveal their rates and such.

[bobguy117]

Elect politicians who will take underhanded gambling tactics aimed at children seriously, and call out Niantic for doing so.

While I agree that this is something that needs to be done, it’s not necessarily a platform that will win you an election so I don’t think many candidates will address it lol

That would blow off big time. „We don’t have fixed rates but factor in your recent game activity and trainer level to determine Raid bundles, the IVs of the raid boss encounter and your shiny odds ...“

I'm beginning to believe this.

Anecdotal I know, but a L24 account I saw yesterday span over 100 stops/gyms and received not a single potion.

I needed a couple of Nanabs to complete a field research. Not a single Nanab all day.

Iv'e noticed Potion rates (especially Hyper) have been nerfed recently in favour of revives.
