"[Idea] Instead of working off the assumption of 2 hours, we need 3 hour raid windows again. With 1 hour of egg and 2 hours of raid."

#PokemonGO: I've seen many ideas popularized on this subreddit and the Silph Road subreddit about how egg timers should be reduced to 15 or 30 minutes and make the raid last for 1hr 45min or 1hr 30min. Others just want to get rid of the eggs all together and allow for the full 2 hour raids again. This is not the approach we should be taking.Before the glitch that got rid of eggs, we had 3 hour windows. 2 hours of egg and 1 hour of raid. That wasn't ideal either, but it's within Niantic's ability to easily extend the time to 3 hours again. Just make it 1 hour of egg and 2 hours of raid. There's literally no downside to this. I believe this solution would resolve most of the common complaints I see about the current system of other ideas based on 2 hour windows.Common complaints I see about the current system or other 2 hour ideas:"One hour isn't long enough for a raid, because you don't even know what level 4s are until it hatches. No one wants to waste time waiting around for a Blastoise, and then you're left with not enough time to organize a raid on a Tyranitar."With the 3 hour window, you'll have your full two hours again to organize a Tyranitar raid."Not having an egg makes it difficult to organize raids in my community. Having an egg gives us a set time to prepare for."This 3 hour window leaves the 1 hour egg intact."One hour is too long to wait around on an egg for a raid to start."The egg is just a timer telling you when a raid is going to begin. If a raid is set to begin at 6:00pm, then the egg should spawn at 5:00pm. It's not like the egg is delaying the raid. It's just there to inform trainers."No one wants a Muk to take over a gym for two full hours."Perhaps the raid system for level 1 and 2 raids could remain as it is with 2 hour windows.TL;DR: We used to have 3 hour windows, bring them back. Just have one hour for the egg and two hours for the raid. via /r/pokemongo http://ift.tt/2eQ2gaY
