Despite the odd need to want to be kicked out of the gyms to get coins, the new system has successfully dis-incentivized gym stagnation/ bullying. While some people dont like the new system, it is such a relief to be able to play the game again in my area without fears of physical confrontations by opposing team players.
Please keep things so that there is no incentive to hold the most gyms for the longest period of time. Its really working in my area.

My previous review:
The gym system rewards people who bully others until they quit the game. It is not safe for my kids to play because of this and I will no longer take them to battle gyms.
This is on top of the secret deal between 2 of the teams here to not attack each other and drive the 3rd team out of the game. A 3rd of the player base in the area has probably quit in part because of this.
