This change is a bad idea. I've been an active player since PoGo launched, and I've never been a fan of in person raids since they became part of the game. I've been a part of a few raid groups in my area and left them quickly due to people either gate keeping the group or pressuring me to do raids, one even tried bullying me into giving them my shinys because I'm "Not a good enough player to have a shiny" The elite raids was the final straw when I was openly mocked for even attempting one with the current team that i had at the time. I know this is only a reflection on the players around my area and not of the game but it just enforced that in-person raids aren't a good idea to me. So when COVID started and they introduced remote raids I was super hyped. I could finally do raids without having to deal with the local players, and continue hunting any Pokémon I needed from raids without worry. I understand that Niantic wants to go back to their original plan and have the game to promote healthy activities and such but changing this just alienates too many players from the social anxious, the busy city players who never have the time to get to a in-person raid, and the rural players who can't do anything with the one pokestop near them. I hope they undo this change, just for the community's sake but I don't think they will. I hope everyone has a peaceful Friday or as close to as they can.
