"How to fix raids"

#PokemonGO: Eliminate the timer entirely - it's annoying for anyone doing a 1, 2, or most level 3 raids.Instead of the timer, have whoever gets there first get an option when they use their pass to "Go it alone" or "Wait for friends"In the world map, have a visual change to the gym indicating there is someone who is waiting for friends, and a number of people waiting to raid.Give players who are within range to see the gym on their map an option to signal "On my way!" to let the folks at the raid know what's happening, and when they click this, have their location reflected on a mini-world-map that the folks waiting to raid can see so they can decide whether to wait for them.As people join, the option presents on all joined raiders to "Start raid" or "Wait for friends" - majority vote rules - original person breaks ties.Once the vote is to start the raid, have a 90 second timer to set teams and give stragglers a chance to join.Automatically start the raid if waiting would result in the raid ending and not being available.​Something to consider would be whether to allow raiders to continue playing all other aspects of the game while they wait for friends to join so that they aren't tied to that location (basically just stay within a couple minute walk/run of that gym in case folks launch the raid). via /r/pokemongo https://ift.tt/2UdFFw4
