Selling what?? The legacy medals?
Well they were free years ago and were not supposed to comeback anyway. Those who are willing to pay can be easily identified because the date as order on profile won't match the originals.
And if I recall they were all paid back then too.
Very bad agents work hard on enents and now we can easy buy the medals in store. I hope Niantic stop selling them in store. Who agent are on the old events? We cant know now when we can cheating with buy it from store.
I hope Niantic stop selling them in store when agents work hard for them on events. Who agents are on the events and give medals for real? Who can know now when we can cheating with buy it from store. Very bad see it in store and make Ingress very bad. Know we never need go on anomely we only wait 2-5 years and cheating with buy medals in store.
You can know since they gonna have 2 or 3 anniversary badges and a lot of event exclusive badges before the legacy medals. And it was easier to "cheat buy" it before, since they were passcodes and anyone could use it anytime.
I hope we can get somthing better more cool in store and Niantic stop selling the medals soon in store. But we only get the bad medals in store and 2X high price on frackers
Bad work on store now! @NianticBrian
Cant understand way we have theme in store when Prime start from begining with new story osiris and new characters.
So they're selling old character medals with a little gear on the side.
So freakin' what? If you don't like it, the proper course of action can be summed up in three words:
Don't. Buy. It.
A novel concept, I know.
"But...but.. what about the hard work I put in years ago to buy them then (with more gear)?"
/s
Jontebula never bought any character medals. He only attend 3 anomalies (maybe recharging). I don't know why he is whining so much about it.
@jontebula bro, it's time for you to recursed and start again!
But, but, but, those were only made available for a limited time. They should never be sold again. It cheapens their value (re makes them less prestigious) if they are sold again. /s
These kind of badge is not a thing at all. It isn't a relevant achievement.
Selling mods is bad bad bad idea making Engineer Badge "buy to increase it", but this is Ingress Prime, new time, so far away from Ingress 1.0 period. Unfortunately.
I dont understand way we have Ingress 1.0 medals in new Ingress 2.0
Nothing to do with new 2.0
Always bad selling medals in Ingress it is something we must work for to get.
Character badges have never required any work, except for one or two if I remember correctly.
Most of them required payment, just like these ones.
Old for Ingress 1.0 not Ingress 2.0
It's the same exact game. The client is on a different app engine, but it is still the exact same game.
New story now and new characters. Medals have nothing to do with new Ingress Prime.
It's a multiverse. We still have the same old characters and their storylines continue to evolve. The discovery of the Osiris Sequence didn't wipe out the old stuff.
I think you need to take a month timeout from whining on the forums.
I'm tempted to buy this badge. It looks cool. It doesn't help me level up, is just cosmetic in my profile. I don't really care about the gear, I don't need any help with the engineer badge. Nothing in this package is so rare that you can't get it with hacks (except the fracker of course)
Don't buy it if you don't want it. I don't think it's disparaging anyone who worked to get this in the first place, but rather it's giving those of us who didn't even play back then a chance to enjoy a bit of ingress history.
What new history? It's the same story. This is not DC Universe where a reboot destroy past histories. We are currently in a new chapter of Ingress lore, not a complete diferent thing.
@jontebula You need to recurse, man! As your saying, new story must start again in 2.0.
I agree with @jontebula . Metals are to be earned not to sold.
My English is bad this morining.
Those character medals were only available for purchase during a particular anomaly. They are entirely cosmetic and don't count towards leveling. Niantic is making them available again for those who "missed out" purchasing them the last time. It is funny how a few people are getting so upset about Niantic selling a cosmetic.
If you don't want to buy mods, simply don't. Store isn't forcing you to purchase anything.
I usually have far more mods than I can even use. They aren't hard to get, just glyph portals.
Yes, you earn normal in-game medals. Character medals for sale don't hurt you one bit. If you don't like them, you don't have to buy them. No one is forcing you. Those that do purchase the Character medals (that don't get used for leveling at all) are helping keep the game working by spending some money. Don't complain, just go play the game. This should be a non-issue for all.
Only characters medals are sold, stop winning ****
@EvilSuperHeros
And I will never ever buy these packs of 25 Link Amps, for example.
I think you didn't understand what I meant, because you said what is obvious about it "don't buy if you don't want"
I said Ingress 1.0 versus 2.0
In the first one you need to work hard, the second you can work hard too but you can buy instead...
And I accepted those conditions because is all about Ingress Prime, not Ingress. If Niantic needs making money, so...
I support all selling of characters badge, because they don't help agents to levelling up.
If someone wants to spend a bunch of money to level up a badge, why not simply let them? Who cares? Onyx Engineer is a CRAPTON of mods. But then again, I got it about 1.5 years ago, from just playing. I think I'm currently around 80k mods deployed.
But on the flip side of things, if I'm doing a fielding op and I realize for whatever reason I can't get the distance and I need a link amp. And for some dumb reason I don't actually have any with me (or SBUL or VRLA) then yeah, I'm gonna pop open the store and buy a pack. Could end up being an OP saver!
It would take 9 of the largest CMU package to reach black, and one to reach gold. I don't know it's price in USD, but I calculated about almost 100usd each, which mean 900$ to get the engineer black badge just buying bundles. Plus the interaction with 25k portals (with would take months without traveling).
Even if there is someone crazy enough to try it, is it worth? Or a better question: is the cry worth it?
Some dudes are crying because it makes the medal pay to win, but it will still require as much work as would take without buy a single bundle, and cause no damage to the community. There's easier badges to reach black out there for leveling up, wich make this one useless, except for the sake of self accomplishment.
9 of the largest CMU packages? So 9 * $99.99 USD, so $899.91 USD if you "bought" the medal.
@NinthAnt I believe it was used Toast Beacons only to level up to 8 after Recursing, so some people might be crazy enough to try it.
Even in portal dense areas, it still takes time to capture portals, and apply the mods to them. I have multiple areas of 100+ portal clusters near me, and it took me time to get my Onyx originally.
