- Lowering find radius from 100m to 70m 

Does this refer to when Pokemon appear on the map and are close enough that you can catch them?

I can safely say that with the removal of Pokevision, I won't be playing the game spontaneously any more. There aren't many pokemons spawning in my area, and even then, it's rarely anything besides pidgies, rattatas and weedles. I'll just be sent on a wild goose chase.

I only used Pokevision from home as an extra incentive to go out and play because "the moment was right" if I saw something I liked.
After that I played blindly.
But now I'll only play if I'm already out, and probably only when I'm in a bustling area, downtown, etc.

I am in the same boat. Living in regional Australia, the population density allows for perhaps a few good spawns in the area per day. The fact that the radar is broken only adds to the frustration by lowering those already low chances of catching something decent.

I'm all for not allowing people to fill up their Pokedex too quickly, but people who spend an entire week of their free time and come up with nothing new are bound to start feeling that it isn't worth the effort.
