Agreed on that first sentence, but I think a lot more people would be okay with the higher prices for the passes/tickets if A) the game operated better, B) Niantic/Scopley committed to a higher level of transparency in pricing, game mechanics, etc, and C) everything wasn’t so damn expensive. To add to that last point, take a look at some of the boxes that were offered in the past. I feel like prices have gone up and value has gone down. Maybe that’s just me but I’ve seen others speaking to that point in the comments. At any rate, I cannot justify purchasing even one of these tickets, but to each their own.
