I got nearly 20 gym badges already. I love the items at gyms now! The new berry system isn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I am in 10 gyms right now.
There's more I'm sure, but that's what I saw. Our team dominated our area again, no surprise there! We're also coordinating where berries are needed so I have a feeling that it won't be any different than before

And that right there fairly well confirmed my worries and others including in this thread. Yes you can go in and get a few items (nice), and you can perhaps get in on a raid (yet to be seen) but otherwise I think I was right.
Status quo unchanged. People will just get/share the berry action to cover up spots to keep squatting on the same gyms, and now with even MORE coins since now it's 1/hr vs 10/21hrs. That'll just allow people to get far more berries with that coin to keep their emotionally snowflaked out pokemon happy to stay in the gym.
Damn shame they didn't care to fix things, but as I figured, set it up to coin harder on the whales and groupies.
I swear if I didn't have this strong not even sure why I do interest in Pokemon I'd erase the app as this is just garbage.
You clearly didn't read my post.
The new coin limit, as of about 3pm today, is 1coin/10 minutes, with a max of 50 coins a day. That means that after a little over 8 hours in a gym, you've reached your max limit for the day. Furthermore,
you only get those 50 coins when your Pokemon is defeated in a gym and sent back to you. It doesn't just automatically return to you with coins once it's motivation is gone. It has to be kicked out by another team.
So, essentially, they've sorta nuked the purpose of gym squatting and the berry system by making it pointless, coin-wise, to stay in a gym for too long. There's no point in going back and feeding your Pokemon multiple berries, because if you do that then you won't get your payout. The only reason to feed them is if you're trying to prolong their stay til the next day.
Now, of course, if you're in a hight turnover spot, than you probably want to try to get into as many gyms as possible to maximize on the 1coin/ per 10 minute rule. But for places with not as much activity, it's likely best to just stick a 'mon in a gym, let it power itself down and wait for a different team to come along and kick it out so you can get some dough.
Still not a perfect system, but I do think that with the coin change this afternoon it is a
little more fair.
