>>27525584The game used to scan for Pokemon in the radius around you every second. When they first took down Pokevision, they increased that to five seconds to make scanning harder, while simultaneously reducing the scan range from 100m to 70m; not great changes, but it didn't exactly break the game for actual players.
This morning, they changed it to ten seconds. That means that even walking at a below-average 1m/s, you'll still only be seeing about 4 of every 6 Pokemon in your scan radius. When you go any faster, including (very) slowly biking, you're more likely to miss a Pokemon than to see it.
They're literally fucking people over for playing the game as intended, while scanners will just add another 100 scanning accounts to make up for the changes.
