"[Idea]How to prevent Gym sniping once and for all: banking Prestige."

#PokemonGO: We've all seen it happen- you're fighting a Gym, pushing to open a slot- and the second you do, someone went and dropped THEIR Pokemon into it, using your hard work to get some junk Pidgey into the Gym.Unacceptable. How do we fix this?We bank Prestige, rather than add it directly to the Gym.Fighting a Gym earns Prestige as usual. This Prestige is stored until:1) You fight at another Gym. All banked Prestige is erased. 2) 30 minutes have passed. 3) You spend the Prestige. Spent Prestige can open a slot, but if it does will offer the spender the opportunity to immediately place a Pokemon in that slot in the process (if they didn't have one already), eliminating the chance for it to be sniped. Otherwise, the slot is open to the first Trainer who chooses to add a Pokemon (much like now). Trainers choose how much Prestige to spend, and don't have to spend all of it at once. Someone's attacking your Gym and you had a few thousand extra Prestige from that training session? Spend it when the Gym needs reinforcement and the time is right. Like when that backstabbbing sneak tries to take your Gym after he thinks you left. Have some leftover Prestige? Spend some to help a friend get in. If you're smart, you'll get the Gym just below a slot with your Prestige, and let them spend the pittance needed to lock in theirs.Making Prestige adding optional and manual rather than automatic gives people a chance to build up a large chunk of Prestige, then spend it to open and instantly fill a slot that under the current system can be sniped by a player who does nothing but watch the counter rise until they can sneak in. via /r/pokemongo http://ift.tt/2pj9uuf
