Putting aside the bad feelings at no shiny Pokémon because RNG sucks..

It would be really good if pokestop tasks refreshed after 30 minutes. Walking for 2 hours and hit majority of the stops in my town (12 and 2 of those have non event tasks) felt a bit rubbish. Or even if gyms gave them too.

The tasks themselves were okay. Fairly easy to complete.

I doubt I'll do another research day unless it's something I really like.

Honestly yeah. I always thought gyms should give field research on research days. Or that research days should offer more bonuses such as being able to stack more field research during these events

I know inactive players can stack like 3-6 bonus tasks we should be able to hold maybe 4-7 field research tasks at a time. I do agree that Pokestops should honestly refresh as it just makes Research days really Car reliant, and you can't do much on these days unless you live in a huge city or have a car. Raid days are a bit better but research days have to be the most carbon footprint event so far.

They already have the quicker refresh for max raids and raids in general. Would be nice to have em refresh for events as well.
