The change of mushroom refreshing time from UTC to local time 3AM will definitely destroy the only chance for European local player to find a spot for rare local mushrooms. Every rare mushroom will already be occupied by GPS spoofers in Taiwan as it’s their active time, which is already quite the case in my neighborhood. Now it’s only getting worse. I suppose it’s also the cas for local players who live in North America and South America time zone. What an idea to encourage spoofers. ---

Totally agree, they should do some efforts to bang the spoofers, or at least deal with our reports, not this…😑 ---

It kills it for NZ too. 3am local time is 10pm in Spoofer Central. basically ruins the game for everyone else. ---

Where I live, mushrooms refresh at midnight (even though they should be refreshing at 20:00 regular time; Ok) Edit: Disregard the statement above; I got confused by today’s change in Event mushrooms; not where I usually live, and there are TWO mushrooms here… Me when i spread miss information * * * I think that probably midnight (local time) is best **For non-spoofers** , not too late into the night, while night owls (such as myself) have the chance to catch them, and react to them however they see fit (where I live, I see many folks walking around even after midnight). Also the fact that You can immidiately attack new event mushrooms correlating plus IMO it just feels right… But, I am curious what everyone else thinks what would be the perfect time for mushroom refreshes would be… In my case, the change won’t likely change the situation, and I’ve seen automated programs… automate spoofing, so probably even if there was time fit for screwing with spoofers, that wouldn’t fix much… As I’ve seen with spoofers that take _ **EVERY SINGLE. BLOODY. BIG FLOWER. IN A CITY DISTRICT.** _
