Massively on the Go: Pokemon Go’s Wild Area was a resource sink event
- Pokemon Go's Wild Area event was not well received by players and viewed as a resource sink event.
- The Mighty Pokemon levels were nerfed, reducing the one major feature of the event, and the event failed to live up to the hype in terms of spawns.
- Max Raids were problematic due to poor planning, inconsistency, FOMO, large groups required, and the need for coordination.
- The article claims that Niantic's encroachment on player time and energy may end up costing it even more players.
- Origine Forms of Dialga and Palkia lacked their signature moves and were treated as a virtual slot machine, which players resented and left the event early.
- The DAI combo of Wild Area event felt like a major resource sink, required too much time and attention, and was not worth the effort.
- The event was underwhelming, too much pressure, and lost players due to poor planning, mediocre spawns, and exhaustion from Max Raids.
- Niantic has a controversial history and repeatedly failed to secure player data, endangered players, and failed to deliver on transparency and communication.
- The article concludes that Niantic needs to work hard to win players back and that the game's overall state is disappointing to long-time players.
