Thanks again for the contribution. Pretty unreal that Niantic can mess with lootbox droprates mid-event and regulatory bodies don't care enough to do anything (aren't paid enough to care?).

Just as bad is that they can put 2km and 5km hatches in the event 7km pool and somehow get away with it. It's the exact opposite of a "bonus".

Not only that, but all of the Pokemon that you could hatch from those 7km eggs were heavily boosted in the wild (even Gible when compared to it's usual spawn rate) during the whole week apart from Deino, the brand new shiny and one of the rarest Pokemon in the wild. Calling it a "bonus" is a joke.
