The server issues have made me reach breaking point. They've been getting worse the last three days, and it's now reached the point where on an hour's walk home today, it crashed no fewer than 30 times. Pokestops also frequently say "Try again later".
I'm getting really pissed off, and it's killing my love of the game. Why did they even bother delaying it's release in some countries if they weren't going to fix it? I thought that was the while point?
Fuck knows how many Pokeballs I've wasted on trying to catch Pokemon, only for it to freeze. Not to mention incense.
This game doesn't deserve the praise it's getting. It's a fantastic game, and when it works, it's incredible, but at it's best it's inconvenient to play, and at it's worst, it's unplayable in the literal sense. Honestly, I wish all the media/news outlets talking about the game were also calling out how bad the servers are. Niantic might pull their finger out and get this shit fixed quicker.
I was considering buying a shitload of coins earlier today, but I'm sure as hell not doing so until the game works reliably.
