Begrudgingly playing this game at this point as way to interact with some work friends. Constant poor decisions at the players expense and a severe, consistent lack of transparency are really pushing me toward putting the game down for good. Nerfing incense to the point its functionally useless is just the latest in an ongoing series of bizarre decisions from Niantic. At this point, it just seems like they're sole ambition is to determine what players enjoy/find convenient and do the opposite.
