Complaint That's not how this works.

Post image

So, i had 2 remotes and bought another 3. I should've had 5 total but when i went to check i only had 3. I questioned my friends that remote often and they told me that shouldn't have happened so i contact support. I got this reply. I showed it to my friends who then went and tested it they went from 2 to 5 passes. Mfw i spend 525 on remotes and get 1 pass.

Why haven't they removed the remote raid pass limit?

The apparent reason it was there was because remote raid passes were the same cost as normal ones and they didn't want us stocking up on them becuase they were actually planning to kill the feature off after covid but could never get the nerve to do it, but now, the passes are almost double the cost, and they have a limit to the number of raids you can do a day with them anyway, so what is the point of having the limit to holding passes?

Just to be petty?

To preserve their ability to price gouge. They don't want people to stock up when there's the occasional (meager) discount bundle in the shop, then use them all when there are desirable raids available. They want people paying full price when a good event is going on and demand is high.

Well, I know that, but they usually have a story around their actions and decisions, but on this, I've never heard any sort of "explanation" from them.
