I think the main problem was the pokemon itself. Let's be honest wq was not that hard at all many players just didn't bother to do it cz it was bidoof which is not only common but useless compare to other pokes if it was any other t8 poke then wq would had been completed long ago. After the 1st wq most players were tired of hunting and from server crashes and without a break we got a 2nd wq where we have to catch almost 200 bidoof it was not only demotivating but enough to rage quit on the spot since most players already got a ticket from 1st wq they didn't bother to do it or quit midway. If there was a special wq bidoof sprite then that would had motivated players to keep doing it. It's wrong to blame everything on stuffs but as a player i have to say it was really disappointing
