"A (hopefully) new gym idea"

#PokemonGO: Disclaimer: I haven't fully figured out the mechanics of this, but it's the seed of an idea.Some of the major complaints about gyms are:- Alt accounts bumping you out- A lot of work to raise from 9 -> 10, very little work to knock it back down to 9- No variety in gyms- Often filled with high CP (Gyarados / Dragonite) who aren't great defendersI think all of these can be solved by a fairly simple change in gym mechanics, namely, nothing gets booted from a gym until it's completely torn down. Only N 'mons would still fight, where N == gym level, but until it goes gray, everybody stays in.This would handle all of the above problems. Someone could still use an alt account, but they'd have to take the whole gym down instead of just defeating one 'mon.If I don't get booted right away, I no longer have an incentive to put a high CP 'mon in. It doesn't matter how far from the bottom I am, it just matters how strong the gym is. This will encourage players to put stronger defenders in rather than high CP.The downside that I can immediately think of is that what you'll see happening is someone prestiging up gyms and then putting in pidgeys or some other throwaway 'mon, knowing that they're safe doing so. It can become a race toward the bottom instead of a race toward the top and I don't have a good solution to that problem, so I thought I'd toss out this idea and see if anyone can improve on it. via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2k5S27v
