Given the massive amounts of backlash and the state of the game following the update, players in the feedback group have spent time gathering specific points and issues with the avatars, forwarding them through the proper channels\u2014though there is no guarantee they’ll be answered. According to the anonymous tester, Niantic\u2019s feedback system even for internal use has become very onsided in recent months.\u00a0<\/p>
At the start, they say Niantic personnel would open up back-and-forth discussions when asked to provide feedback or test new content.
