"(Discussion) - Niantic needs to up their game"

#PokemonGO: This post is about enlightening the players about the major screwups by Niantic done in the past , that sometimes feel like intentional, and to help them make a wise decision from their wallets.I will list some examples• Shiny Lugia Turned offhttps://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/86g6zf/has_anyone_caught_a_shiny_lugia_since_the/• Shiny Entei and Suicune Turned offhttps://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/cz56h9/have_shiny_entei_and_suicune_gone_missing/• Shiny rate of Regionals changed midway into the eventhttps://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/d52xse/comment/f0pbw8h?context=1• Unown Fiascohttps://https://ift.tt/36tYzjE basically advertised Unown from 10k eggs during the ultra bonus event , and then kept the hatch rate so low that most of the players didnt have a realistic chance of hatching one.• No Shiny Alolan Vulpix and scyther from questshttps://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/elraa9/can_shiny_alolan_vulpix_be_obtained_from_the_task/https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/eo0770/in_light_of_quest_alolan_vulpixs_missing_shiny/• Shiny Barboach , Magnemite etc turned of from wildhttps://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/adjfmq/no_more_magnemite/https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/cxm9ga/why_is_this_still_a_thing_heartbroken/• Keeping the Lucky rate same inspite of advertising ' a boosted rate for lucky pokemom 'https://ift.tt/2NZpcqn I understand some of these screwups are non intentional. But some of these screwups are highly doubtful to be non intentional like the change of shiny rate of regionals. Errors which benefits players are instantly patched up.Trainers feel cheated and discouraged by these constant screwups. The salt on wound is lack of communication from Niantic's side . There is no reason for a company earning in billions to treat 'us' as their QA team other than laziness and greed.It was seen if something gets published on online news portals , Niantic would immediately rectify the situation but would give generic or unhelpful responses through in game support. Niantic needs to up their communication game and should highly focus on increasing the transparency if they want to increase the longevity of the game.Let me clear one last thing. I like many others love this game despite its many flaws. I have always loved Pokemon and when this game got out , it was like a dream come true. But the highly greedy and careless approach has started to fade luster of the game. I still participate in every event but I have now decided to go F2P and wont spend further till I see some positive changes. via /r/pokemongo https://ift.tt/36rOPXb
