Hey, I'm not going to vote just yet, but I'm not sure about how this would work?

I mean, if you don't want your beetles to be battled with you can just take them off battling.
And if you go and have them fight, the effect will be the same as having other users initiating. Your beetles would still gain EXP and then will be able to level up and gain stats.

Why would you think that's unfair, if it still profits you/the other person in the same way that it would if you'd be the one to initiate the battle?

p.s. by "you" I mean "one", as in someone/anyone :)

The way I've seen it, my beetle hasn't gained anything, not even another number on the Win/Loss, even though it goes on the cooldown.

Hey, so a friend of mine looked this up real quick, and here's what the wiki says:

"What about when I lose?

Every loss gives your beetle 5EXP, as well as an uncommon chance for a herb. Losers also receive a 15 minute cooldown on the beetle. NOTE: Only the person who initiates the battle gets the rewards. If you are defending, and you win, you only get EXP for defending.

Don’t want your beetle to battle? Easy fix!"

So basically, one wouldn't get the usual herb/sb/etc rewards, but your beetle should still gain the exp.

I'm thinking that you could maybe keep checking on your beetle and see if it's a bug(then report it), or you could have misinterpreted it. It happens :)
