There are many points and fun parts of First Saturday. Getting agents together from both factions, yet playing competitively for yourself because of the double AP. Socializing together afterwards and usually food while we wait for the restock portal. It if the restock portal is nerfed, it provides agents no real reason to hang around after check in to socialize.
I used many flip cards during the last challenge, and I do hack & play a lot. But every one counts because they no longer have the ability to duplicate in a quantum. The lack of one of each coming out of each the restock was noticed by everyone where we played.
I live in a city with about 2000-2500 portals, about 40-60% created from pogo players who played ingress for pogo, as of today, I can say there are only 4-6 agents that play daily ingress, 3-4 who play often in the week, and many inactive agents, many of those agents come to IFS to get AP and get good gear, but even after we just got a virus event, virus were always welcomed, Withou them on IFS I know for sure and comments made on the IFS people will just stopped coming. And adding the pokemon has events almost or on every saturday, people who only played ingress for pogo, they just choosed pogo over ingress.
Will reduce the attendance of participating agents. Many will leave before the end of the event and others will not travel to two venues as they normally did.
It's been confirmed this was temporary change, not to say they won't tweak the restock output in future but this was seemingly only done because of some issues that happened for the earliest IFSs.
As someone already pointed out there's a thread for this in the correct category already too where this info was already posted.

What
If players only attend for the VRs, they are missing the point of the event.
We did not get any VR item too. Noone did. I guess it's an update, right?
Lots of Adas, Jarvises and Softbanks here got wasted because of recent Didact field challenge 🤣
Some people here are really quick in using the term "ruined".
Some people should play and hack/glyph more if want more very rare items.
Is very simple, more hacks, more items you receive.
I posted this under “events”, “First Saturday” if you wanna add thoughts there too.

Yeah, many comments in Cluttercutter's post in the events section.
Time is not infinite. There's nothing wrong with trying to get as much as you can from limited amounts of time.
