"A daily coin maximum is arbitrary and punitive to many playstyles. Niantic should move to weekly/monthly caps instead."

#PokemonGO: The recent change to coins being received every 10 minutes is a welcome adjustment, however, halving the maximum coin retrieval to 50 only further punishes players who live in low-turnover areas (Rural players) or players who work extra-hard to successfully defend their gyms with berries.Once a Pokémon hits about 8 hours in a gym, any further time spent is wasted. This system is great if all you want to do is lock down a handful of gyms for an hour because you live in a major metropolitan area filled with turnover, but there's very little that the bulk of the user-base can do to ensure they receive their maximum daily benefits consistently.On the other hand, if the cap was kept as the same raw value, but was instead extended over a wider timespan, all types of players and playstyles would greatly benefit equally.If we had a weekly cap of 350 coins, or a monthly cap of 1500, you would instead be able to earn your maximum through consistent, rapid gym takeovers OR by soundly defending one or two key gyms for the bulk of the month.I know those numbers are scarier because they're bigger but it's the same gold either way. The only difference is this way all players are actually on even footing again. You could earn your maximum whether in high turnover urban centers or low-activity rural wastelands. via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2rL8tKi
