"[DISCUSSION] Pretty please can the egg hatching speed be raised to include normal human running speeds? 10.5km/h (~6.5 mph) is REALLY slow... 14kph/~8.5mph would be more than reasonable."

#PokemonGO: It's clear Niantic has been listening to our feedback, and this is something I really feel needs attention, especially considering how easy it would be to implement and how much of a positive impact it would have for a significant portion of the player base. Anyway.I love this game. I also love running. And you'd think this would be a perfect pair of things to love. But anything more than a shuffle means not being able to hatch eggs. If I run at my normal pace, I'm lucky if the app tracks any distance at all, and this is frustrating, especially since this is a fitness-oriented game. It feels like being punished for becoming more fit.I understand they don't want us playing while driving. But a difference of a couple kms/h isn't going to do much to prevent that. It does, however, have a significant negative impact on the legitimate players who run, which I don't think is the intention.So I submit that there is no good reason the egg hatching speed couldn't be raised to a reasonable 14kph/8.5mph. Of course faster would be even better (that opens up biking! And who wouldn't love motivation to run even faster! Hooray interval workouts!), but even a change this small would be a HUGE quality of life upgrade for a significant portion of the player base.And this change would also benefit Niantic! Faster egg hatching = more incubator sales! :D ---> $$$Honestly you guys, this change seems like all upside:Trivially easy to implementNegligible downsideHuge quality of life upgrade for a significant portion of the player base (this is a fitness-oriented game, after all)More motivation to keep increasing fitnessIncrease incubator salesIf there is any extra incentive needed, I'd be willing to pet my dog eight thousand times for each kph the speed limit increases.Think about it, Niantic. Think how happy my dog will be. via /r/pokemongo http://ift.tt/2mtWmy4
