@IcyBlueHeart I don't personally buy badges because I like my profile better without the decorative ones, but will you accept this as a substitute investment?
Also, Niantic... I'd buy more of these to support you if I could buy them in bulk. The tedious, repetitive workflow to get them three at a time means I buy fewer of them.
We all support the game we love in the way that works for us. I wish there was a CORE Level 2 we could subscribe to that didn't count certain items in inventory. Not an inventory increase but all Boost items do not count towards the 2,500 limit.
@IcyBlueHeart I would TOTALLY pay for that just so I don't have over a hundred Apex boosts clogging my inventory with no way to recycle them. I'd also be inclined to buy more boosts even if I didn't particularly need them simply because there wouldn't be a playability penalty for doing so.
@joecain, I agree with your view. In addition, the game has been stagnant and unappealing to new players because of the drama and bullying from other players. It seems like new players don't have a choice but to subscribe to a certain membership in a community with doubts that all its members have clear background checks. I am not saying that all players are bad, but there are a few petty and rotten apples out there. Anyway, I destroy portals and deploy resonators and mods to free my inventory space nowadays and stay away from drama and questionable characters out there.
We have a multi-account bully in our area that literally follows other players (even on his team) and gets out of his car and screams at them. Almost everyone has left the Enlightened team because of him and it's really hard to get three green players to make our first Saturday event count. Everyone would rather be on the resistance and smash the hell out of him or quit. We've sent many reports, Niantic doesn't care.
I've been playing off and on since year 3 and it's kinda sad that Niantic doesn't care to grow the player base anymore
It's similar everywhere. Multi accounters and bullies. Nothing anyone can do about it. It's almost become allowed behavior in most every community. Niantic doesn't seem interested in it and there's no way to get banned for it. It's just become the norm. Every area has them. It's best to just ignore them. Some people give up and create multiple accounts just to try to have a chance against them. It's against the rules but anymore I can't blame them. It's not like there's anyone left to worry about the rules.
Would be nice if _MACHINA_ would start terrorizing the area when one team is dominating!
This was the biggest fear of people when it started, that they would have to compete against an active player. Many people seem to enjoy not having anyone else to play against, and actively go out of their way to discourage new players.
It's hard to ignore them when they follow you in their car and start screaming at you just because you're playing the game. Trying to get more players to make police reports when it happens, but most people just quit playing.
Yeah, part of the reason I've all but quit playing. Being stalked, personal information shared in chats and accused of cheating because I happen to be in the area isn't what I signed up for. So now I play when I want and ignore any invitations to chat by either faction. I want nothing to do with the community aspect of this game, nothing but drama and problems.

To $cream boycott apparently
Good on them, I guess.
Every time GreenVam tells us to boycott I buy more CMU.
I have the same approach with Joe
For every time he screams no free labor, I scan 3 times
You must be drowning in CMU by this point.
If you don’t have onyx for the scan badges, I’m not sure what’s happened.
It's fun living rent-free in your scanner.
I know being a bitter **** is no effort for you.
You would be also, if you pulled your head out of the sand and realized how crappy niantic has treated the community.
Just bought the new Lunar New Year medal from the store. Good looking medal, I'm sure everyone is going to want to buy it. Right Joe?

Already got it. Waiting for the Dragon one next month too.

Got both the swag subscription kits too.
They should find a way to give out the founder badge to long running core subscribers. I need to join Joe's one person union. 🤣
Core subscribers are barred from membership, sorry.

Yup happens in my area too. Most people just quit rather than deal with it. Humans can be terrible to each other.
thats why machina need infect those areas and u will be happy u cant control it as a player
Police reports? Police won't take this seriously. The " right " thing to do iis "force" the bully to do something that WILL elicit a response.
