Bored. I've gone to Schaumburg 4 times this past week but it was a real buzzkill when there was nothing happening after 9PM (I've always shown up late ever since July). I've been on level 30 for a while and I don't see myself hitting 31 anytime soon unless people suddenly get motivated to stay at Schaumburg, which seems even more unlikely with the recent weather. If trackers come back I will go on hunts for mons I need to finish my dex but Schaumburg was my only good nearby grind spot. The new update has made me even more reluctant to prestige gyms because I don't feel like selecting 6 weak pokemon every single time I start a fight.

I miss July and August where you couldn't walk two feet at Schaumburg Town Square without hitting anyone. Back then everyone was super helpful and excited whenever something cool spawned. Something would spawn and 2-3 people would yell it out and cause a stampede (my friend and I being some of those people). Recently I've missed many good mons because nobody alerts others anymore. Even at Adler there's a group of 5 or 6 guys using a working tracker (maybe goradar?) and they won't tell anyone what they found or where, they just shoot off on their own and troll people by bringing them to magikarps.

I still play, but at this point I almost feel like I'm forcing myself to.
