Discussion Anyone worried about the future of Pokemon GO?

I don't know about you guys, but lately this game is becoming a pain for rural players. I feel like everytime there is a event, Niantic or whoever is in control now shows you the middle finger all the time from the start of it.

I see people complain it will take a lot to max out their Eternatus. Like really? That's the major issue of this game and event for you? Put yourself in the spot of a rural player. You are basically forced to do Tier 5 raids, Tier 5 D-max raids or G-max raids in order to just get maybe a 2* or a floor IV. This type of raids are a complete nightmare for us, and they always forcing us to do it, and your only option is remote raids. Basically we are forced to spend at least 5400 coins on remote raids to get this Eternatus.

It's really sad that community don't support each other in this kind of situations, and demand changes in this game that helps rural players as well. Prices are high, and you are always and always forced to do this kind of raids. This game is not just about raiding, give people other stuff to do, I don't know catch 100 or 200 pokemons per day, something else, not just max out raids.

And I'm sure there will a be smartguy coming now saying, go make yourself a community, D-max can be done solo, or duo easily, sucks to be you a rural player, and so on.

I don't get this complaining from other rural players. Everything but gmax can be done with three players. If you can't find two other locals (or even just one with a second account) then yeah okay why bother. It can't even be fun to do anything. But with 2-3 people you can do everything. And once you hit level 36, you can create your own spots and gyms. Trail markers are everywhere and there are plenty of other options too.

Hell, you can do all the 1* dynas with the Wooloo the pass gave you!
