    @Hosette in an age of passive burster generation via drone hacks and people using their "spouse/child/retired agents" to generate via quantums.... The time spent getting bursters is negligible. Not to mention glyphing a compact farm. You can sit in one spot farming gear, you don't need to walk with HS/MH. It's pretty lopsided at the moment. Very much a "riding the coattails" situation where the person building has to exert much more physical effort.

    @KonnTower With standard cooldowns I am not going to get more than a dozen drone hacks in a day and often far fewer than that because other things demand my time. I do have the luxury of couch portals that are usually P7s. I average 8-10 X8s per day from quantums and I don't have other people cooking gear for me. It's quite easy for me to blow through a 800-1000 X8s on a serious smashing run and I can assure you that the time required to acquire that much gear is not negligible.

    Drones and compact farms don't farm themselves... you still have to invest the time to hack for gear. It may be less physical effort but that doesn't mean it's less time.

  • @Hosette you raise a very good point about the time taken to obtain bursters. It's something I hadn't considered 🙂

    My town is very one-sided so I'm guessing that it takes the opposition even longer now to stock up following the hack time changes

    @MrNateJo You are correct about the hack timer changes. When Niantic made hack timers longer for enemy portals than friendly ones they essentially weakened the outnumbered faction and strengthened the dominant one. It doesn't impact me other than being an occasional annoyance but I think it's a bad change for the game as a whole.
