Every game needs to have 2 layersFor casual players and for even the hardcorest ones . That ' s how everyone is going to be happy players who like to smash buttons on their console , and people that like sophisticated theorycrafting about character builds , weapons , minmaxing etc . It even comes to lore Layer for casuals is that Grey elf does not like that Lizard cause not , and for hardcore loreworms it ' s Dunmer were enslaving whole families of Argonians and still treat them as just slaves and banning slavery won ' t change the attitude and way of thinking of the whole big ancient family of magic wielders . Such Scrolls , very Elder , wow ! Casuals can go up if they really like the game , hardcores can go down if they had a bad day and just want to smack things with a stick . Now , Niantic took the opportunity for many people to go up , and progress is a part of this game somehow levels , CP , so that ' s counterintuitive .
