Anyone who has begun to play it now or after the 3 step glitch, you literally have no clue how bad things have gotten compared to how good it was in the first 2 weeks. Server problems aside there was actually a game there to play while now its just a game of chance where if the route you are walking happens to spawn a pokemon good for you otherwise your SOL. Tracking pokemon was literally a core mechanic and to remove that completely while at the same time up the break free chance as well as run away chance is just baffling to say the least, not to mention now the refresh rate is 10 seconds instead of 5 which means anyone walking a decent pace could completely miss a pokemon spawn thats on the outer half of their scan radius.

I have been playing from the start, and in the first 2 weeks I spent a lot of time unable to log in to the game because the servers were under so much pressure. Finally getting in, using a lure/incense, only for it to go down again 10 minutes later. I haven't noticed a massive difference since the update, in fact, one of my best days for catching pokemon so far (both in number and rarity) was since the update, and with no pokevision.

I used one of the 0.29 apk versions of the game so i could play on my Galaxy S4 and now it's requesting me to update but the phone isn't able to run so therefore download the update :( Anyone any ideas about this, bar buying a better phone.

Cutting off a big chunk of the game base i'd imagine. HArd to picture all the younger kids playing the game walking around with shiny Samsung S6 and iPhone 6 etc. Although i'm sure plenty are.
