"Why is 60/45 better than 15/90?"

#PokemonGO: I’m just confused on this. Last week we had raids spawning with 15 minutes on the egg timers, and 90 minutes to do the boss. Now it’s 60 minutes on an egg, which we know is going to be Mewtwo, and it’s 45 minutes long.When we had 90 minutes, our raid train was able to do every raid because we never had to wait for a boss to hatch. Now with an hour long timer and the short 45 minutes to raid, we have to miss some because we simply cannot do 4 in 45 minutes if they’re too far spread out and hatching at the same time.On top of that, if a raid spawns on an EX gym and someone is late and misses the raid, there’s generally not a second group in the short amount of time trying to prepare. When we had 90 minutes there was almost always a second group.I’m just curious, why does Niantic think this is better? Seems they’re losing opportunities to get more money, and it seemed the community was a vastly in favor of the 15/90 raid cycles. Even the folks in my community that don’t even know what The Silph Road is just roll their eyes at the old timers returning and being upset.I’d just like to hear a good argument as to why this is better for the overall raid communities.EDIT: most responses I’ve seen are that it helps casual. Which is interesting since in my area, the casuals that aren’t connected to our local discord were able to do them more because the extra time with an active raid allowed more groups and people to go at their own pace. 45 minutes gives time for one group and if you aren’t there, you aren’t there.Not trying to sound elitist, but why don’t those people just join the discord/chat if they want to do their daily raid? You can easily mute it if it’s an annoyance. I just don’t see the logic behind those that want to raid having to have less time than ideal to make up for those that don’t really care, that have an easy option that they can control to better their situation. via /r/TheSilphRoad https://ift.tt/2NykgdC
