#HearUsNiantic. No in-person community since 2020. This means I can’t do elite raids and I’d made my peace with that. Now you are pricing me out of raiding anything new that can’t be solo’d. I will be one of those left behind. @PokemonGoApp@NianticLabs
Trying to raid today. 15mins before egg hatch, I lit a flare on @NianticLabs app Campfire, to let trainers in the area know I’ll be raiding. I was there at egg spawn, & then had to look at this for 10mins until I gave up #PokemonGoRaids#PokemonGo#HearUsNiantic#HearUsNiantic2
Here we are. Won't be mincing words. If you're a lone player or part of an online community, the message @NianticLabs has shipped is that you're an acceptable casualty for their vision. How you reevaluate your relationship with the game accordingly is up to you. Good luck. 💛
@heyisachu@PokemonGoApp Likewise Isa 🥰 this is a sad day for the online raiding community, but we'll always be PoGo friends for keeps! Thank you for everything 💕
Oh and #HearUsNiantic
Thank you @sapimfa for my last Abu Dhabi raid hour 💔 my last gold gym was Brazil @heyisachu 💕 I leave Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Köln DE, Recife BR, HK, Taipei, Tokyo, Melbourne, and many other cities across the world littered with bronze and silver gyms 😢 #HearUsNiantic@PokemonGoApp
Some people complain I should get my lazy ass out and raid in person. Well, Im usually out playing more than 4-5h per day. Unfortunatley in a small town with few active raiders. I rely on remote raids.
No player left behind, it’s time to #HearUsNiantic
To me, remote raiding was the best part of the game for many reasons. You could raid all over the world, no matter what time of day it was, and it caused groups like ours to form and friendships to be made with people from all over the world that you never would’ve known.very sad
As part of #WorldWaFuCrew, I stand in solidarity with the rest of the PoGo playerbase. The world has evolved rapidly over the pandemic. Online friendships have became far more important than ever, and Niantic wants to break our online communities for their data. #HearUsNiantic
#HearUsNiantic@NianticLabs@PokemonGoApp please listen to us. All trainers are equal! Please do not limit us how we play and do not take the online communities away
Remote raids didn’t stop us playing in person, it let us play together in times where the family is apart.
We are #WorldWaFuCrew and we stand in solidarity with the PokémonGo community. No player left behind, it’s time to #HearUsNiantic
Instead of incentivizing in-person raids, you instead shut down our online communities that we've grown over the years. Anyone with a fraction of a heart that makes decisions for @NianticLabs@PokemonGoApp knows this is a terrible idea. #HearUsNiantic#PokemonGOApp
