"[Complaint] Niantic, it's time to admit that EX raids simply aren't working."

#PokemonGO: As per the post title, Niantic really needs to acknowledge that the EX raid system is completely broken and the current incarnation means that many players will never complete their Pokedex.To put it into perspective, these are the hoops that you have to jump through to obtain a Mewtwo (current EX Raid boss) :Raid at sponsored gyms, or parksIncrease your badge level on those gyms.Increase your number of raids completed.Hope that you have raided at the right time & with the right amount of people at a sponsored gym or park.Pray that your trainer is pulled out of the hat and awarded an EX pass.However, it doesn't stop there...The EX raid needs to be at a suitable time that doesn't clash with working hours etc.Have enough other people been sent an EX pass so that you actually have a large enough group to try and defeat Mewtwo ?Assuming you now make the EX raid & can identify others taking part, will the other people co-operate with you or exclude you completely to maximise their balls ?Finally you are in a large enough group and the raid takes place (assuming no network errors) & you defeat Mewtwo.You now enter the final lottery system to try and catch Mewtwo. Good luck.Honestly, this whole system is complete garbage and needs to change. I can't believe I read that the worlds number 1 player Brandon Tan has completed over 1000 raids and not been awarded an EX pass. That in itself shows that the system is completely flawed.Niantic need to take a long hard look at this situation and start rewarding EX passes for those who do actually deserve it.The selection process needs to be changed and made completely transparent, e.g. For every 100 Raids completed & if you raid at a gym where you have a gold badge then you receive 1 EX raid pass... or something similar. Sure, people who spend money on lots of raid passes will have more opportunities but they already have in other paid areas of the game (levelling up quicker through constant Lucky eggs, running 9 Incubators constantly, far more Legendaries than anyone else etc.).Oh & did I mention that many EX raids are actually now filled with Spoofers ? Yes...those who can simply raid at sponsored gyms & parks whenever they please from their armchair & are somehow regularly pulled from the hat.Please could someone from Niantic explain how this system is fair & rewarding players who have put a lot of time and effort in ?We live in hope of course that the criteria selection is loosened later down the line but I fear that many players will leave the game for good before we reach that stage. via /r/pokemongo http://ift.tt/2iRdv8J
