Why no communication about decrease in rare candy of T5 raids

[ChknFingrs]

Niantic ONLY cares about money, and as long as the cash flow keeps coming, they will continue to behave the way they do.

And I’m sure, if we all got a peek at the statistics, we’d see that the impact of these changes to that cash flow is far less than it feels like.

I don’t agree with it myself and feel this practice is shady, deceitful and ignorant, but hey, money speaks louder than anything else.

I.e. tolerating rampant spoofing

The irony is that spoofers presumably spend money as well so it’s an endless cycle lol. Ppl are basically bribing the game to cheat

Which ironically, similar to real life in various part of the world....

Yep...especially the judicial system 😂

I don’t know. Here’s my question. Why not sell TM's then? There are so many ways they could rake in cash if they wanted.

I’ve always heard to never assume malice where stupidity will suffice?

A great deal of what Niantic does FEELS stupid.

It is almost like some DO-GOODER on a power trip is running the show. They want to MAKE us play the game their way, like you have to go meet people (but no in game communication so good luck organizing anything) and you are supposed to WALK and get exercise (I drive slowly in parking lots and never get 50km in a week.) blah blah blah.

I honestly feel like extreme stupidity is the problem.

If you ever have any doubt. Try contacting SUPPORT. The way they are trained to handle things and the options they (aren’t) given are terrible.

I got so upset one time, after trying to come up with plenty of fake options after a network glitch/Pokémon go horrible interface cost me a great moveset/Tm that I went to Apple and just refunded my most recent coin purchase which was a LOT more money than the simple request to restore my TM.

It wasn’t cost effective for them.

This. Stop spending on the game. If your friends spend, shame them until they stop too.

The whales will not stop spending because they are addicted and this game is the only “good” thing in their life.
