Niantic needs to go back to the lure frequency it used to have to restart the hype. Even make it 1% drop rate only is enough. Just eat humble pie and accept it lah

Trouble with Pogo is that the only way to earn coins is by fighting in gym. Aint nobody got time for that. Niantic pushed the difficulty level up too far.
Also the shop is fricking boring. Who dafuq wants to buy pokeballs?! Greatballs, ultraballs, max pots for sure lah but these are not available

I'm sure it'll drop again but I don't think lure drops from pokestops will do much to get ppl back into the game.
As for earning coins from gyms... It's much cheaper just to buy them.

this game ppl who play at first are follow the hype but those who say till now are those who r really a fans
ppl get board coz of the "going outside" and they lazy to travel and complain about why my area only got bird, worm, bat....
no matter whatever Niantic do it wont bring back the hype.
Tbh, i would prefer if Msia gets better spawn rates. All hunters have to hunt, wait, and sometimes camp to get the mons we want (besides spoofers) atm. We spend hours and hours waiting - but elsewhere, if you look especially at the "nests", the spawn rate is way much higher than Msia.
I think it is not only important to get players that have dropped off back, but also to retain the current batch of players and new players into the game. One more thing that can keep the current group of players continuing to play is a workable tracking system (near future hopefully) and notification system for players to alert them of potential spawns to track (later part hopefully).
But yeah, pretenders will soon fade away. Probably some will be back for gen 2, some not. End of the day, such events do help the "true" players and probably attract some new attention. I hope they have more events like this in the future, especially the coming xmas.

Only time will tell.
