"The game has progressed since launch, it's time for stardust to catch up."

#PokemonGO: Summer 2016 and Pokemon Go is released. It has a much higher than anticipated userbase and wherever you look people are playing.Initially most people are aiming to 'catch em all' until their levels become higher and the focus shifts slightly to powering up via candy and stardust.When the game started, the ways to collect candy and stardust were from hatching/catching and stardust for holding gyms.Since then we've seen lots of great improvements including the buddy system, pinap berries, receiving more candy and stardust for evolutions, feeding your excess berries to gym defenders to receive stardust and the occasional candy and of course rare candies.General focus was to have high cp pokemon to sit on top of a gym and collect you coins, which became a bit monotonous and felt like a chore to play the game whilst gen 2 was imminent.Thankfully since the raids it has freshened a lot of desire, a few other pokemon have become more relevant, like Golem, Machamp, Venosaur and Espeon to name a few. Now, to defeat certain raid bosses you need a full team of optimised attackers. Thankfully, the candy issue is significantly easier to accumulate than before however we are left with a stardust starvation.I've seen many fantastic ideas about how to address this issue such as the commonly suggested notion of quests etc. Great ideas but realistically it will take a lot of time to implement, whereas I feel we could use a push for the time being before it becomes a chore to play again.The raids have taken over the game and encouraged driving from one raid to the next. It's also a lottery where you are rewarded if you live in an active city or are more rural (RIP rural players)So to encourage walking again I feel like we need to reward walking more.The simplest way to do this is to improve the stardust rewards of hatching eggs. At the moment you get: 400-800 stardust per 2k egg 800-1600 stardust per 5k egg 1600-3200 stardust per 10k eggI propose to increase that by a multiplier of 2.5 This will give new rewards of: 1000-2000 per 2k egg 2000-4000 per 5k egg 4000-8000 per 10k eggThis way rural players and urban players will both benefit from going on long walking treks.Also put golden raspberries in the item pool for pokestops (somewhere in rarity between an evolution item and regular berries)Let me know what you think! via /r/pokemongo http://ift.tt/2jJ4pe2
