Theres no incentive to being a loyal player. I have been playing since this game came out and it seems the developers dont care.
Its also really crappy when you live in a less congested area, you run outta items and have to drive to the nearest poke stop which isnt a congested area either so you have to drive again to get anywhere.
Update: Even if you "dodge" the legendary Pokémons attack, it still hits you and is a bunch of nonsense. They are way hard to beat so you definitely need a group of people but the developer definitely needs to fix the issue of the non declining cp.
