We are starting to hear chatter in the Community over whether the Scopely influence is making its way to in-game decisions. The patching of the micro-drift exploit, which Trainers have used for years to allow them to use a local Raid Pass on a Raid that is just out of normal reach, has caused a bit of a revolt. From Trainers saying they are boycotting, to confusion over why this of all things was patched while other bugs still persist. Any way you look at it, the Community always has something to target, and this month’s flavor of the month is this patch and how it ties to Remote Raiding.
In actual gameplay news, we begin with a recap of the last week of events including the wrap up of Steel & Scales, DMAX Latios & Latias, and the kickoff of Adventure Week. Multiple events through the week and double weekend events are becoming more common, leaving Trainers with less and less downtime. Is this a sustainable pace? Will this cause Trainers to back off? All we know is that we want it all and it is getting tougher and tougher to keep up.
The August content update absolutely slams the calendar, as it doesn’t even allow for a single day of vanilla encounters. Do we miss seeing what the Seasonal spawns bring to the table or do we want the constant variety that events bring to the gameboard? In the first two weeks of the month, we see multiple different events, bringing new Pokémon or Shinies to the table, along with a plethora of tickets. Let’s not forget about the GO Pass and Eggs-pedition Access which ask for spending before the month even kicks off.
With all of this spending, there is no wonder why Trainers don’t want to reach further into their pockets for Remote Raid Passes. The real question is, has the game moved on from even listening to them?
