"This game feels a lot more enjoyable and less stressful when you're not spending real money"

#PokemonGO: Ever since I started playing, I allowed myself to buy 1200 coins at every event and every once in a while I would spend a few bucks for raid passes here and there.However with everything that has happened recently. Niantic refusing to do anything about EX raids. Refusing to make raid times more convenient for us by extending them for a few hours. And just the general state of the game where effort put into the game doesn't really give you any rewards as everything in this game is just based on luck, I finally had enough.The halloween event this year was the last time I purchased coins in the shop. Ever since then, I've just been saving up my daily 50 coins from gyms and I'm close to almost 2000 free coins now.I feel that now that I no longer am spending my hard earned money for something that has so many flaws, it's much easier for me to let things slide. I honestly don't really care much about EX raids since I'm not going out of my way to pay a ton of money for an EX lottery. Just daily passes and occasionally a premium pass from the free coins I've gathered. I also don't really care about the fact that level 15 players who put 10 minutes of gameplay every other day into the game are getting all the high IV pokemon while I continue to have bad luck. It's fine since I'm no longer spending any money in the game.Has anybody else completely boycotted spending money after the game? Have you experienced your salt level decrease a lot? via /r/pokemongo http://ift.tt/2yHI56u
