"[Discussion] Remove Extreme Weather (!)"

#PokemonGO: I'll just start this by saying this; no matter how bad the weather is, anything short of "we should be evacuating" or "get into the tornado shelter" is not going to stop someone that lives in a major city from walking a few blocks (full snow gear may be necessary) to the nearest Sponsored Starbucks stop, putting a Stop Module on it; sitting own with a nice hot Mocha and playing for a bit. If the weather system didn't pop extreme because of the snow; paying for stop modules or incense because of the snow might have been appealing.I'm all for the "Severe" weather warnings; but the "Extreme" weather shutting off the weather system completely and reducing normal spawns is unnecessary. It can lead to several of the weathers effectively not existing if the threshold for it popping up remains as it is.Foggy and the weather service puts up a "visibility advisory" to drive slow and be careful? Extreme.Snowing in a region that doesn't get snow constantly? Extreme.In the same county, but not actually close to the wildfires in California? Extreme.As it currently stands; anything severe enough to get a warning or advisory appears to be enough to trigger the system. So, basically the weather system would only have "snowing" if its a region that always gets snow or it's lightly flurrying and not sticking to the roads, as the higher accumulations pop a "Winter Storm Warning". Unsure the threshold for "Windy" but fair chance it'd be rare due to "Wind Advisories" warning about down tree branches in the same conditions. Rain might even run into "Flash Flood Watch" with even small amounts in drought-ridden regions where the soil can't absorb the water well.I get why this was added; but this is one of the cases where I just don't think people are -that- stupid. Sure, put up extreme for actually EXTREME things like Hurricanes or Tornadoes, if you want (virtually no one would be playing the game at those times anyways).And I admit, maybe I'm just salty because I heard about the update ahead of time and was excited to go play in the snow for a bit. A friend had told me that it would increase ice and steel and I'd be "Swarming in Magnemite soon" which I was excited for as Steel was/is the type I've caught the least of and I don't even have the silver medal. I have played in similar snowy conditions before back in January; the local nest was Charmander and I stayed out in the cold hunting them for about an hour. It was no more dangerous than stepping outside to go sledding or build snowmen, etc.Anyways those are my thoughts; anyone want to pile on? via /r/pokemongo http://ift.tt/2nKAwMm
