Store Idea: Portal Submissions

BreenzyBreenzy ✭✭✭✭

100CMU per portal submission? Maybe if a portal is deemed to close we can get if refunded as well. This would be on top of our 14 fortnightly subs.

    Why not? You pay just for one more additional attempt and nothing more. Community decides if portal worth to be accepted or not

    It would be better if the OPR´ler would get 10CMU for every match as in-game currency.

    That kind of begs to ask what does OPR Live really provide? I did it before and liked the ability to fast track my submissions and talk to OPR mods but always felt there was something that could be added to it.

    I was about to post the same thing. A submission does not guarantee an approval or prevent removal if it doesn't meet the criteria.

    Personally I would be happy to pay 100 CMU for all submissions if there was a way to earn it in game, like there is a way to earn virtual currency in the other games.

  • Sure, I guess. Would have to wonder if it'd be able to be abused, through. If you buy $25 worth of bonus subs, you could really flood OPR for an area.

    A $5 equivalent for a paid upgrade once every two weeks seems better

    I think buying submissions is not a good idea.


    I think buying upgrades is also not a good idea, but like 75% less of not a good idea than buying submissions.

    Just buying submissions, no guarantee, and only get a refund on portals which are approved, but are too close or duplicate to go live.

    Even if Niantic makes it clear that you are only "paying for a single submission", that isn't going to prevent people insisting that they "paid for a portal" and therefore cannot be removed. I just rather that those of use who vet appeals and Niantic's appeals staff not have to put up with the headaches this will generate.

    If people want to argue against terms of service, thats on them.

  • If I am going to pay for something opr related. It would be for a appeal. But cost would have to be relative to the amount of feedback. Like 5 dollars for a paragraph or two. Or a dollar for a yes or no. Also if the appeal is successful then the reviewers either need their performance adjusted and or get informed what was done incorrectly.

    I suggest not to buying submission, but buying a "reset" for when you end up all you have, but have to wait 14 days to submit more. Being able to buy this reset will help a lot for times like during a travel in a area with none or very few, you would be able to help that community and fill the city.

    It can be something that you can buy just once a month or something like that, to prevent abuse.

    When there was no limit, I made a travel a spend 2 days wandering the city making submissions, and some even get approved in the same day.

  • Portal submissions are the one place where Niantic is certainly extracting real value from Ingress players in building and maintaining a data set they use to develop games and have marketed as a platform, if anything they should be paying players for this services (like maybe not real dollars but CMU even in small amounts seems reasonable). I get that they aren't making a ton from the store based on the super erratic pricing modeling lately, but they should attribute revenue from their other games platforms to Ingress for the portal network development work.

    Spoken like someone who doesn't have to deal with the people arguing anyways
