You may not know the term, but 'Ninja'ing' a gym is when you've put the hard work into reducing a team's hold on a particular spot, only for someone else to swoop in and claim it instead.

Many players are claiming this is simply a feature, as it encourages competitive play, but it's a little suspect that others can take the gym when you're stuck on the 'You won!" victory screen.

Why not make it so there's a window of say a minute, where any conquered gym is 'locked' to the player that recently beat it? Said window would allocate enough time for healing and then placement of Pokémon at the spot itself, all-round leading to a more 'fair'-feeling experience.

Do you think it adds extra enjoyment and a thrill to gym battles, or should something be done about those players that deliberately wait for others to fight it out, before claiming a place for themselves? Let us know in the comments below.
