"Niantic Community Managers: It's time for a talk."

#PokemonGO: I know that #NianticLive2020 was just a few months ago. I know that the GoFest events are absolutely great experiences for trainers to attend. I know you all have been working hard on these, and have done a great job with it. However, I can't help but feel slighted by Niantic.Here’s a excerpt from the Community Manager job posting found here."Identify, amplify, and engage with high-quality user, employee, or third-party generated content."/u/NianticGeorge hasn't interacted with the Silph Road in 7 months/u/NianticIndigo came back after a month break to comment on a post asking "Looking for ideas on how to increase pressure for Go Plus Fix.""Build trust and motivate interaction with Niantic channels through engagement programs. Develop internal engagement strategies which encourage sharing and celebrating what makes Niantic special."There honest to god is no trust in Ninatic within the community. Look anywhere online and you'll see mention of "Oh it was Niantic'd" or "wouldn't put it past Niantic to mess it up." There's literally a website counter for days since Niantic last messed up.Given that Pokemon Go has made over $3B, with $774M made in just 2018, I have to ask: why do we still have serious bugs that take months to fix, if they are even fixed at all? While I understand the joke that anything one programmer can do in one month, two programmers can do in two months, shouldn't the company be hiring developers to work on solely bugs? There seems to be enough to keep a team busy for awhile. On the topic of fixes, the community has asked forever for simple QOL changes. Here's a fantastic list complied by a fellow member of TSR. None of these are exactly game breaking, so why hasn't Niantic implemented any of these?And on the topic of Niantic's revenue, it’s obvious the community here hasn’t been a fan of the last many boxes. I totally understand that these are discounts, and should not be taken for granted. However, the 2019 boxes we’ve been receiving aren't feeling like discounts, when we have today’s box, compared to March 2018’s box. The worst boxes in 2018 are better than the best boxes in 2019. Is there any good reason why the box quality has taken such a sharp nosedive?So please, /u/NianticGeorge /u/NianticIndigo, come and answer the questions the community has for you. Because I’m terribly disappointed with how Niantic has been treating the community lately. via /r/pokemongo https://ift.tt/36DjkL0
