"Opinion: There needs to be a way to get coins that isn't gym battles. [Discussion]"

#PokemonGO: The gym meta of my area is being ruined by spoofers, so I stopped bothering fighting gyms because there's no point. Anything I put in gyms is taken out in less than a day and I've never held a gym longer than 2 days. That aside, gym battles just... aren't fun? They're not nearly as involved as they are in the main series games and basically boil down to "tap, tap and hold and occasionally swipe to the side." It's plain boring and pointless when you're not even guaranteed to hold that gym beyond an hour.I don't understand why gyms are the only way to get coins aside from buying them. I'm not the only player who doesn't bother battling gyms and prefers the walking and catching aspect of these games, but for us, we're stuck without incubators or lucky eggs unless we put up with the broken gym system or pay money.Would it be difficult to implement some kind of "daily missions" into the game like "catch X water Pokemon for 30 coins?" It's just a random example but I'd be far more motivated to play and play consistently if I could earn coins without playing the tap game.Thoughts? via /r/pokemongo http://ift.tt/2l7JxeQ
