I think OP's choice of words were poor, but I do have to agree with their sentiment. In Pokemon Go, Lures at base price cost around 1$ USD each, while Frackers at base price now almost cost 4$ USD each.
Poor move in my honest opinion on Niantic's part to milk their remaining small community of Ingress players dry if their goal is to actually build their playerbase back up.
Agreed, frackers were very reasonably priced now rhey are so ridiculously expensive I don't see myself or anyone in my play area purchasing them. Yet another greedy move by Niantic, and trying to milk the remaining Ingress player base dry.
So now that you've got rid of your competition by banning 8000 accounts... Now it's double the price... Too bad I can't flag a moderator's post as abuse.
prices are too high now on frackers.. we still have to manage set the glyphs when we frack, but to pay double price as some sort of punishment? feels only weird...
We need them to buy stuff from the store not boycott. Them buying stuff keep this game open for free players. Plus they share thier fracker with others so more free stuff for all. 😊
I am pretty good at glyphing being onyx a few times over, that said when I am in a city that has a P8, damn right I am glyphing & Fracking it, I get access to P8's so rarely usually.
Also when I have a hotel portal, I will find another portal in a town and go frack that portal for keys so that when I farm my hotel portal I can do a nice multi layer field through the town.
What I am upset about is the double price of the frackers, and knowing eventually I'm going to be nerfed and stuck playing with Prime, which really kills my usage in random cities because it sucks so bad for portal discovery.

Not buying another fracker...not even if there is a fire!
But what if there is a fire sale?

smells like EA ...lets talk about lootboxes
is this change permanent or only during this glyph event ?
Agreed - not buying another fracker unless they return the price to where it was.

The frackers are ridiculously expensive now, Niantic don't see the agents economy, they will **** some of the game with this.

By the way, amazing thread title.
It's like none of you do surveys and actually spend real money on items!!!

It's not like we're spending real money on frackers. Just lie to google and get in on that free survey money.
Learn to glyph with the Aurora challenge, you will never need another fracker in your life!
