Pokemon Go Players Criticize Fellow Trainers for Leaving Raids at Last Second
Pokemon Go players have expressed their frustration and disappointment with trainers who consistently abandon Raids at the last moment, resulting in failed attempts and wasted Raid Passes. This ongoing issue has garnered attention within the Pokémon Go community.
Trainers Demand Commitment
A concerned trainer, going by the name GamingCanuck0, took to social media to voice their concern, pleading with fellow trainers, “Stop leaving raids!” In their plea, the trainer emphasized that as few as five level 35+ players working together have the ability to conquer the most formidable Tier 5 Raids. However, they lamented the fact that some trainers choose to leave at the last few seconds, leaving the rest to struggle and often fail.
Shared Frustrations
Many Pokémon Go players echoed the sentiment, sharing their own experiences and grievances. To exemplify the problem, one player described a recent event where the entire team abruptly left a Raid, resulting in the player wasted a Remote Raid Pass and expressing annoyance.
Importance of In-Game Communication
Moreover, suggestions were put forth by trainers to address this issue. Some players believed that the addition of an in-game chat feature would be valuable in maintaining better communication during Raids. They proposed that by committing to a Raid by clicking the ready button, trainers would signal their intent to stay, encouraging others to do the same. Additionally, the players recommended implementing pre-written phrases such as ‘we can do this’ or ‘this won’t take long’ to facilitate team morale and cooperation. A voting feature in chat that allows players to express agreement adds to the proposed solution.
A Call for Change
Suggestions made by trainers and their shared frustrations highlight the aspirations of the Pokémon Go player community for improvements to the Raid experience. It remains to be seen whether Niantic, the developer of Pokémon Go, will address these concerns and implement changes to enhance the Raid mechanics and encourage better collaboration among trainers.
