Re: The single mission bounty is not a very good task.
@Hosette Exactly, there are a few who want to keep their banners in order, and there are some with issues with missions in general. But it all boils down to making a choice, I want this so I'm not going to do that. Or I'm not willing/able to do this so I won't. Trying to have it all in a game requires a lot of effort, but that does not mean the game is flawed. It means it is challenging.
Re: India: Does Ingress Team is looking to add recent wayspot additions to Ingress?
Or are you implying that this rubble holds as much significance as the blankets given by the English to Native American Indians?
I know nothing about the blankets thing so can’t equate it to something else.
I don’t think your solution will happen as I guess the Wayfarer team will want to see if other game teams such as Pikmin Bloom (as that will soon get a map sync) may take the India Wayspots.
I’m not claiming to know what the solution is, but I don’t think it’s that.
Re: India: Does Ingress Team is looking to add recent wayspot additions to Ingress?
Anyways, I am not in India and this likely won’t affect me and it’s not something I can do anything about as a Wayfarer Ambassador as the decision not to import was from the Ingress team.
Just wanted to note this though;
It's not our job as agents to clean up coal and rubble.
Last time we got an import like this, @NianticThia did not that Agents should clean up and add photos etc.
If you run across one of these new Portals with no picture, snag AP by submitting one! If you see a Portal that you feel does not meet Wayfarer standards, let us know by using the Scanner to report it.
Re: India: Does Ingress Team is looking to add recent wayspot additions to Ingress?
The criticism is misguided.
It's inappropriate for the Wayfarer team manager to unilaterally designate a subpar wayspot in front of the Ingress team and agents, while pressuring them to accept it.
Agents who grasp the core of Ingress would undoubtedly refuse such an offer.
The Ingress team should not be subject to criticism from you, the Wayfarer ambassador.
It's the Wayfarer team that is at fault.
Or are you implying that this rubble holds as much significance as the blankets given by the English to Native American Indians?
If you were aware of the consequences faced by the Native Americans who received those blankets, our rejection would be justified.
The appropriate course of action is to transfer all wayspot data related to the rubble to the PGO team and to purge the Lightship database maintained by the Wayfarer team. This would enable Ingress agents in India to nominate portals that are correct, of high quality, and accurate.
Re: India: Does Ingress Team is looking to add recent wayspot additions to Ingress?
I understand your disappointment.
I'm disappointed too.
I'm disappointed in the Wayfarer team for spreading low-quality, inaccurate rubble all over India.
It's an act that will cost Niantic the location database hegemony in India, forever.
And they seem to believe that PGO trainers will turn them into high-quality, accurate diamonds. However, six months later, the low-quality stuff is not still gone, the photos are forever unimported, and the locations are still inaccurate.
Therefore, coal will never turn into diamonds.
And if they stay in that state, they will never be imported into Ingress forever, Ingress is dead in India.
Re: The single mission bounty is not a very good task.
A mission requires a minimum of 6 waypoints for newly submitted ones. That's about the same range as the 4 or 8 hack bounties. At least I think that's what they were trying to put as equivalent.
I'm just going to use the mission bounty to work on part of a 6 mission banner. Have to break out of the comfort zone eventually or it's going to eat you in the end.
Re: The single mission bounty is not a very good task.
It would be nice if the reward is enough to incentivize completing a mission or a set of missions, like a KC, perhaps. Wouldn't risk it for a plain biscuit. Will just sit home and won't go out there because its too cold.
Re: What does it take to get a non-existent wayspot removed?
1) Report invalid in-game
2) When rejected, post appeal in Wayfarer forum
3) Don't post here about Wayfarer stuff
