Pokémon Go’s dwindling player base has trainers desperate for Raid changes
Pokémon Go players are feeling the impact of the declining player base, especially in raids. In their view, raids were added at a time when it was at its peak but are no longer sustainable due to how difficult they’ve become relative to the number of players willing to do them. The best way to fix it in their view, according to a discussion on May 19, is by changing two things—making them scalable and disabling the countdown.
The only way to make raids easier is by having more players join them, which has become harder to do. Scaling them to make them easier depending on how many players are in them has been suggested as a solution.
