"Some HUGE concerns about raids"

#PokemonGO: First of all, i love Pokemon go, i play since the 1st day of release, and i am very excited for all the new stuff that will come, new gym system and raiding.But,with the new raiding system coming soon we know already a few things, before i go into the concerns (everything i get is from HERE):You cannot do it alone; you’ll need help from fellow Trainers to raid the Gym (and hopefully) prevail.The higher the difficulty, the stronger the Raid Boss and the more players you’ll need in order to succeed.You gain a Raid Pass by spinning the Photo Disc at a Gym. You can only hold one Raid Pass at a time, and you can only receive one per day. If you have already used your Raid Pass, you can purchase a Premium Raid Pass from the Shop.Ok, so lets begin with a few things that comes to my mind and i think the system may disappoint.One concern is the 1 raid pass/day and you can hold only 1, that means everyone will be able to play one raid per day, if you join a raid and then something better comes up you wont be able to join.If you use your daily pass, and you don't succeed in killing the raid, that's it you wont be able to try a different one, unless you pay.The biggest concern for me is the lack of a big player-base locally. Let's say we have this scenario, you go to the city downtown, and there are a few players around, but everyone have already used their daily pass, so you got to fight alone any raid that will come up.Suburban/rural players will have even more of a disadvantage since they have even lower active player-base.You also can't help a friend if you already used your daily pass.Players that play on weekends will also have a disadvantage, they can't stack their raid passes and play all raids at weekend.I thought that releasing this feature was for people to group up more, BUT grouping to raid is pointless, since you can only do 1 raid per day and that's it. Who will agree to travel/gather into a place to fight one boss for 5 minutes and done?You can't introduce a system (raid battles) that needs many players and then lock everyone out because you limit everyone to 1 pass per day, and no selling premium passes doesn't fix this, i don't get the reason, maybe you wanted to limit bots and spoofers but you also slap your active players that way. Consider the amount of free passes before you roll out raids or the system may fail.Since raids are going to be one of the biggest and most awesome feature we are gonna get, please Niantic don't lock us behind pay-walls to play (We don't know the amount of coins you will need for premium passes, but i don't expect them to be that cheap).One solution is to have more stacks of passes per 10lvls, for example:10+ get one pass/day,20+ get 2 passes/day,30+ get 3 passes/day,40+ get 4 passes/day.That way you motivate people to get to higher levels (and 40) as soon as possible.PS: That's only for discussion, we have some time before raids are being rolled out, we have a lot of answers to get, but i think now is the time to raise our concerns before they are released, so we get the changes we need.shout-out to /u/NianticGeorge & /u/NianticIndigo our awesome community support guys, if you are out there, and you have an opinion on the subject, please take your time and leave a comment to our concerns about it, get our voice into the team if possible, we will really appreciate it.tl;dr: You can't add a feature that requires cooperation and then make it limited to once per day because finding others that haven't used it already will be very hard. via /r/pokemongo http://ift.tt/2tsCdwu
