    Simple question; how many gyms do you currently control in Pokémon GO? How close to you are these gyms and how long have you controlled them for so far? What do you have defending them? Is this more or less than you usually control?
     
    0, due to me not being a high enough level and not having any decent Pokemon yet.
     
    I rarely hold any gyms for more than 30 minutes. Too many people playing and taking down a gym is a laughably easy process. After I saw my CP2000 Vaporeon take out three CP1600+ Pokémon (A Nidoqueen, Vaporeon and Dragonite) in a gym without fainting, I knew there was a severe balance issue in this game.

    Most I've ever held at once was five, and that was a couple weeks ago. I wasn't even able to cash in all of them because I got greedy and tried for more gyms. Before I got to the next one, a couple gyms I held were overrun already. Nowadays if I get two or three, I cash in the rewards.

    I think once there are more 6 and above level gyms things will balance out since the attacker only gets six pokemon. It's the 1st, 2nd and 3rd level gyms that are pretty easy to wear down since you get lots more tries.
     
    I don't think I've ever held a gym more than 5 minutes because I don't play in a group, nor do I live near one.
     
    I can barely hold a gym for 3 minutes. Since I am in central town the most, I am always by the gyms that are a bloodbath to get possession of. Heck I was lucky to get one of the university ones for 10 minutes at one point xD

    That's the things about living in a small city. You can get everywhere quickly which is a good thing, but that also means people can get too all gyms really quickly too.

    I've taken down level 6+ gyms on my own before. You don't even need to defeat all the Pokémon in the gym for the gym to lose prestige points. And that's pretty much where the issue is.
     
    Currently own 2 gyms, heck yeah ^^ Went into town today and managed to snag some out of the way gyms which we don't think people will really visit - it's working so far as we took them several hours ago but the Pokémon are still standing strong. Going to try to add a third to that bunch in a few minutes with the local gym in my town!
     
    I personally don't have any gyms in my name right now, but I was gym leader of 3 gyms at one point! (moved and haven't been around to fight gyms).​
     
    Holding 2 right now, had all 5 gyms in my town last night, most held at a time was 7
