I remember the ama's from it seems forever ago. But I'm not sure I can remember any good they did. Ideas were talked about like showing capsule drops in comm but never followed through. Not sure they were of any value then. I'm not even sure there's a person in a intermediary role between Niantic and the players now to fulfill it if they wanted to. It feels like ten years should be a big deal and a reason to celebrate though. It's not too late still.
I think the Ingress team is doing WAY better than the Wayfarer team.
Ingress emails are clear. Wayfarer emails are lies and confusion.
Ingress team does things, and publishes releases. Last Wayfarer release published was May 4.
Both teams install things that break other things. (Testing is not a priority at Niantic.) Ingress team fixes those bugs pretty quickly. With Wayfarer, you have to learn how to work around (just accept) longstanding known bugs.
In general, Ingress is working forward. Wayfarer just keeps piling bug upon bug.
Wayfarer team is helping me to remove invalid portals as long as I report it in-game (which handles 30% successfully) and on the Wayfarer forum for the remainning 70%, which adds up to 100%.
Ingress team...I don't know. I feel like 40% of my anti-spoofing reports will work if meeting "FastTrack" criteria, and 15% if not meeting "FastTrack". That means, 60% and 85% of those reports, separately, is wasting my time and energy. And you can trust me that I'm professional at filing reports and recognizing spoofers and I'm already avoiding filing reports that are difficult to be confirmed.

and a livestream ? i mean its 10 years.. special year for a mobile game :P
I’d love another livestream from them. Maybe they could get some prominent players on too.
Maybe if enough votes are given, some special code for items plus a @mortuus recurse? 😆
I personally would love an AMA.
If I were niantic I wouldn't do it; they would have a hard time spinning all the low effort and reduced development in a positive light.

We had a livestream and AMA for the 5yr anniversary
https://youtu.be/SoIQA1vWCrQ
You can search the old AMAs for any topic, here https://ingressama.com/
if we had for year 5 then more reason to have for year 10, its those magic numbers.
Year five we had multiple community managers and a larger ingress team.
Maybe thia has been saving up all the roadmaps and will send them all on Nov 15th!
Multiple? It was just Krug as Community Manager
Literally 35 people from day 1 to Niantic separating from Google.
Were Hilda and Haerang gone by then?
We have to have something to look forward to for Year 20!
Does it work? Who now still thinks AMA could help do something? Apart from providing the sense of participation?

According to my observation,
Wayfarer team is helping me to remove invalid portals as long as I report it in-game (which handles 30% successfully) and on the Wayfarer forum for the remainning 70%, which adds up to 100%.

Verifying invalid portals and verifying spoof are 2 completely different things.
40% on spoof reports is high.
That's for only if meeting "FastTrack" criteria. The reports of that kind are very limited.
Livestream would be more fun, answer those hard questions live 😋
