I totally agree with the idea that all players should have the same chance of encountering a shiny if they are old or new should not matter. It makes no sense that some can find shiny pokemon just by walking into the grass and others have to stay there for months without even 1 shiny. Even if they make the shiny rate harder than it is right now, it should be the same for all players unless they use something like donator status. Even then the benefit from the donator should be the same to all accounts and not different depending upon how new or old they are to the game. How does it make sense that you want to help out new players and keep them from quitting the game early, but would rather have long time loyal players quit due to this? Please clarify as I would like to know. I saw someone with 7 ot shiny pokemon the other day while I still do not even have a single one, the current state of shiny encounters needs to drastically be worked upon to make it more fair for all players, and not depending on # of hours played. If the devs think someone is botting then just simply ban them. Do not lower the shiny encounter rate for them. How does that even make sense?
