[Idea]Option to buy Raidpasses in bulk
So, I've been debating with myself if the raidpasses are too expensive or not. I like to compare it to the cost of an incubator, which is 150 coins(around $1,50). An incubator basically gives you 3 mons at random with a bunch of stardust and candies to go with it. A raidpass gives you a chance to catch a high lvl pokemon(Like Tyranitar, Lapras or Snorlax), plus some sweet loot(golden berries, rare candies, TMs) for 100coins (or $1). All things considered, I think the passes are reasonably well priced. There is one thing I would like to see added; the ability to buy raidpasses in bulk(At a small discount per pass ofcourse). This would make them a little bit cheaper, so people who are on the fence might just decide to buy some.
My suggested prices: 10 Raidpasses for 875 coins, 20 Raidpasses for 1500 coins

Raid passes aren't sustainable. If you buy egg incubators, it will last you awhile. But if you do raids, it's easy to blow through 5 an hour sometimes and you're not guaranteed a TM. My last few level 3's and 1 4 didn't give a TM. I think they nerfed the rates.
People want to raid, but most of my friends won't spent any more than 1-2 extra raids a day now :-(
Wouldn't a raid pass be better than an incubator? If you want a Tyranitar, you can choose to go after it. That's at least 4 hatches of 10k eggs and a lot of walking. Sure, you still have to catch it, but I think that's worth the price.
It's 10,000x better than an egg incubator. High cost, high reward for raids. Well only high cost if you grind them for TMs. So TM's are high cost. Raid pokemon just take planning and a group
Yeah, they won't spend the extra raids because you can only get 1 every 2 days from gyms alone. The cap should be raised back to 100 coins so you can at least get one extra raid per day.
Are you sure it's one every 2 days? I received a raid pass from a gym yesterday, and I could have sworn I got one this morning as well. I might be imagining things if 2 days is the case
He's talking about premium raid pass, not free ones.
:) thank you, that clears up a lot
You can hold one. So if you don't use it, you can use it one day and the same day get another pass. Max two a day that way, but that's only if you don't use it that day. Otherwise, 1 per day
So, one free and one free every two days IF you take the time to do gyms, which is unreliable.
Unless you saved coins by barely buying incubators and relieing on the free one. Then it feels like raids are unlimited =)
I feel your pain, I've got the same problem here. So I'm only going to use 1 paid raidpass max a day on a lvl3(and not even very often), and others will go to lvl4 raids.
They should probably make lvl 1 raids free of charge, and lvl2 raids free of charge after you've done an x amount of raids, or perhaps after you've bought an x amount of raidpasses. Or perhaps even buy a special raidpass that lets you do an unlimited number of lvl1/2 raids. As it stands now, the people that are most likely to buy raidpasses are the higher level hardcore players. And it's very unlikely they'll be using premium raidpasses to enter lvl1 and 2 raids, since the rewards aren't very good when compared to lvl3 and 4 raids and the mons you can get aren't particularly great either.
