"[Complaint] Ex Raid selection getting out of hand? Players who are not selected should stop spending money to send a message"

#PokemonGO: Recently i found out there were 3 ex raids happening approximately 2km from my residence (in Asia). I have raided, spun the gyms, attacked and defended from all these gyms. I admit it, i'm salty AF for not being selected, but i felt that all these 'testings' on exclusive raids should be something out of beta. Yes, some apps despite being 'released' do have a section for beta testers - I know this being a beta tester for the FB app and other apps. However, the treatment of core players not being selected for ex raids, and not being informed how this selection is made is not acceptable.I just feel that niantic isn't transparent on how players are being selected for ex raids. If they are keen to adopt a portion of the players for beta testing, please offer these players a beta version of the app to test the game in advance - I'm absolutely cool with that. But offering exclusive raids to a small portion of the general public, have poor communication on selection criteria, plus not having the willingness to invite players to be part of a dedicated beta testing group is leaving a bad taste in my mouth.I spend close to 50usd per month on this game and I am beginning to feel that niantic does not deserve my money. I am urging all of you who feel the same, and who spend money in the game, to refrain from purchases until we get proper communications on ex raids (or better still, until you gain a pass in hand). via /r/pokemongo http://ift.tt/2ywjFNX
