As a pure walkfag, I don't like this new gym system.
Back when I hit level 25 in February was the time I decided to start taking on gyms. It was incredibly difficult, especially for a suburb dwelling Instinct player. I wandered to the outskirts of my suburbs just to reach certain gyms. It wasn't until I hit level 28 that I managed to secure about 10-12 consistent gym spots. It was a satisfying feeling, and I felt like I earned it, and no longer did I have to go out of my way and murder my legs for a few coins. Sure I lost a spot or two every week, but it was what it was. The most important thing was that it was consistent.
Now, I have to frantically run about finding new gyms every single day, or revisiting old ones because a Pokemon was kicked out too early. It's punishing on me because all these gyms are so spread apart, and without resorting to carfagging/spoofing I cannot ideally meet these demands. I worked hard to get those spots in gyms with the previous system. Now, it doesn't matter whether I get two gyms or twenty gyms, it's no guarantee I'll get anything, especially in my shitty backwater town.
This is the biggest problem with the gym update. Consistency. With the old system, I used to love booting up Pokemon Go and hitting the button to cash in on my gym sitters. It was something to look forward to every morning before I went out for work. It was satisfying, and I was guaranteed a reward every day. It felt good because I earned it. With this new system, I don't feel like I'm earning anything. I can shove a 10 CP Pidgey or a 3000 CP Dragonite into the gym and it means fuck all, and I have to desperately hope that someone on an opposing team kicks it out the next day after it's sat at least a few hours in order to get anything.
I don't care how low the coin limit gets, Hanke. Just give me some fucking consistency.
