Niantic has recently come under fire for a plethora of reasons, ranging from players being unable to enjoy events due to lags and crashes to lackluster updates. The dam finally broke with Niantic making the long-rumored nerfs to Remote Raid Passes official.

The latter saw many Pokemon GO players declaring that they were quitting the game. Others planned to boycott the title, including A Mystic Hero. Fans were also quick to point out that this particular event lacked any special wild encounters to entice them to participate in it.
