Maybe that can be a CORE benefit. I'm already paying $5 a month. I really don't like having these at the ends when I try to spin my carousel to the highest level item.
Previously, to deploy an r8 first I would spin the carousel to r8 and deploy in one fluid action, but this easy play is now ruined.
Despite trying to avoid it, I open that sales dialog multiple times a day in play.
Niantic, you might get a tiny amount of accidental sales, or noobs who don’t know better then later regret it, but it will be insignificant compared to the bad will, which is likely to be more impactful on sales.
This is the sort of change which makes one think less well of the game. You wanted that App Store rating to go up... if this unwanted and desperate feature is not quickly removed I’d tip it to go down.
Also, hiding that massive core banner from the store (or at least making it smaller) would be appreciated too. It does not affects gameplay, but makes browsing trhough the store kinda annoying.
I had the same experience as @ax7277 during this weekend's anomaly. So on top of the usual anomaly lag, transmission errors and insufficient access level to do normal actions game play has been hindered by this annoying and totally misplaced shopping button. I am not sure, if that was the effect, Niantic aimed for?!
I really would appreciate if that could be changed again. Nobody needs resources that fast that badly that the button has to be there. You can switch to the shop the normal way. Maybe only show the button in the deploy interface if a player has no resonators at all in the inventory. I could understand that.
I told about that in release notes. Ingress becomes more cluttered with "buy" buttons. As I imagine,this should be like "recommendations" in miui and should have a trigger in "advanced settings", turned on by default but with ability to turn off.
By the way this thing even not works on my present phone. Option is present and clickable,but results in nothing.
Yes please! This has annoyed me several times today already. When I want to deploy R8s I just want to swipe all the way and hit the deploy button, not mess around moving it back one notch before I deploy. I never ever ever want to buy R8s because they grow on trees near me.

As a compromise, I'd suggest that when you spin the resonator carousel towards the high-level end, the carousel stops on the highest level resonator currently in your inventory. A second swipe would then move you over to the store bundle. That way, Agents' muscle memory is preserved, while Niantic gets to make Agents aware that there's a store bundle that they could be buying.
I never understood why store items is on the attack carousel. Seems like NIA did it so you would "accidentally" hit the purchase button during attacks or recharging your xm. It should not nor should have it ever been on there.
I can see this being an option if you are short on L8 resos or whatever, but if I have two hundred L8 resos, I certainly don't need anymore. Really though, doesn't need to be at the end...
Another instance of it being painfully obvious the dev team doesn't play the game and is out of touch when implementing changes like this and likely isn't utilizing feedback from the folks using beta builds either...
I find quite tedious the purchase button in the "resonator" screen, especially since I got the habit to alternate L1 resonator with higher ones (L8 or L7 depending on availability).
Am I also the only one considering this a little bit overpressuring, after nearly 19 month supporting subscription?
There's no need for any compromise. This stupid bundle garbage should be removed from the core gameplay UI!
We already have store page! We already get that stupid "red dot" notification whenever they update it. We don't need any more store shoved in our faces! f I want to buy something, I'll go to the store to buy it! I don't need NOR WANT IT in my gameplay elements!
Yup. Players in my area are pretty upset and have support cases open where they accidently purchased items due to this. Also there is a bug report thread about this whole issue too

It should require an additional action to move to the buy option and not an additional action to move away from it
Not as core pls.
I want to play the game without being forced to buy core.
I can't count how many times I "wanted" to buy resonators during the MUC Anomaly.....
The UI/UX is bad and you should feel bad.

The addition slows game play. I can no longer flip the carousel to get to R8 fast. This is also bad for fast defense.
Please remove it!
If I have even a single burster or resonator I must not see this obnoxious upsell!
Get rid of it!
How about moving it to the far right. Handy when you need a refill, not an issue at the high end.
Err far left....
Nothing can stop a company desperately trying to make money.
Remove the store items from the carousel ASAP, this is just so tonedeaf from Niantic that it blows my mind

the placement is bad, just put that offer in the store and not where it is now, it should not even be visible if u have resonators whats teh point
Stupid feature
Either
1. let us hide it in settings (on by default)
2. Have an if statement, as in only appears when its lower than 20
3. Remove em from carousels
Nia really harmed those who wants to busgress, speedrun, or anything high intensity that relies on muscle memory

Yes. This! 👆

Good luck. I opened a ticket for accidentally purchasing items, support told me they don't refund CMU.
