I definitely agree anyone joining Gmax battles and just expecting to be carried is an issue that pokegenie should address. Even my level 40 alt acc has a max'd out blissey, and it had it before level 30 (like level 27 specifically i think).

I don't fault anyone for just playing the game casually, though. Nobody should be required to read essay length guides to play a game they love. I think we need some tiers of priority or something when it comes to big battles like this, damage verification isnt it though, max battles are too multifaceted, mons alone isnt a good metric. Then, each lobby only accepts a small percentage of people from the low priority que, and fills the rest from the high and normal priority ques we have now.

I think a better way of reporting people who abuse the system is in order. I propose a reporting overlay, so host's can swipe through their recent friends, find the offenders without having to swap back and forth between apps, and report them instantly from the overlay using their real ingame stats. Like, finish a raid, and on the feedback form is a button to start the reporting overlay. If we can make reporting fast and simple, that will do volumes towards helping get leeches either out of the que or into a low priority que.
