Players feel Shadow Raids are too restrictive with the in-person requirements, saying things like "Shadow Raids being in person only feels so arbitrary." Some suggest letting Remote Raids work.

There's doubt that Niantic will change Shadow Raids unless participation drops, though some worry quests will just force engagement instead. Others say to just not do content you don't enjoy.

Issues with 5-star Shadow Raids are called out for being especially difficult coordination-wise. Suggestions include giving more warning time to plan and coordinate.
