ya but now it gives a changes for new players to get it.
Ironically I had far better luck with pokerus when new. I knew newer players who've had it several times and people who've been around for longer and had it far less. It comes down to activity, not longevity and honestly... Sometimes new players actually have that more than others.
It's 100% fair across the board and that's a good thing.
I honestly think pokerus is better as it is now - partially for the reason stated by Greenbunny1998
I also think there's an unfair element to those "currently online" as it massively benefits those who can leave pokefarm open all day as opposed to those who can't
