Why are we buying medals? Seems kind of dumb. Is it just to look cool? Would have rather did something to earn it in the first place that wasn't overly-complicated. Are they running out of ideas with this game?
It is over now and we can only buy medals never earn them for new fun and nice gameplay. Better we get fun and cool play to earn medals. We can only earn standard medals now. New medals all agents must pay.
I think they should give both options: pay to win it or a challenge. Many people couldn't accomplish previous challenges in the gold level, and I bet some of them would pay for it.
I think now only lead to Niantic make more bad medals when agents buy. Not good for the foture when we soon get lots of medals for buy often and not something better for Ingress Prime. Think it stop for somthing better and now and for foture Niantic only run on medals to earn money.
I hope we can get somthing better i like to buy and lots of new avatars for Prime soon.
I only bought this one because it's the first commemorative seasonal/holiday event they did, with game changes like it happens every now and then on pGO, and I believe that this kind of events is good for ingress.
I only play pokemon like 10 minutes a day, to get the daily mission. More than that when there is some special research or the random events with bonus.
With all the posting you do on the forums, do you even play Ingress?
Also, how are avatars better than a medal for Prime? I, personally, have no interest in buying avatars. As much as you want new avatars, there are a ton of other people who want medals or something else. Let it go....
I think that giving players the chance to purchase cheap event medals is a good way to help support the game. However, in this case I also think Niantic could have done better art work with the medal design. Personally, I won't purchase it because in my opinion this medal looks childish compared to the other medals I have.
The medal design didn't even need to be lore related for me to purchase it. If it was something more original like a ghost being chased by drones or a witch skysurfing with a drone I would be more inclined towards buying it.
Still, a great initiative, I am currently enjoying very much the benefits from the reduced drone cooldown and I am looking forward the next events. Keep it up 🙂
I only like to earn medals for play ingress. Not like get it very easy for pay. For me I hope Niantic stop with buy medals and let us work hard to earn them. The design looks bad and not follow other for Ingress Prime.
It's a pitty that it is only a purchase for money and it is not connected with any additional task in game. I thought that it would be interesting if we get (for the price of the medal) for example 31 Halloween beacons and our task would be to place them on portals during the 31st October. For completing the task agents would get the Halloween medal (it could be tiered 10/20/31). It would be nice going through city with beacons aroud.
Now, we - all in the family (3 agents) - have purchased it. It's thanks and support to game we like. The cost was reasonable.
Late to this thread but i really really liked the pumpkin badge! We've all had a difficult year. $2.50 for a cute badge .... so yes! Bought it straight away. Thank you!!!
Yes, with the behavior of explicit shaming and slapping and even calling out to the public to ban a specific player jo***** who just talk about what he wants and what he feels regarding Ingress game like others not opposed by any single other player within more than a half year, this community really is a good one. Gold medal for you too in celebration of your leadership of bullying.

Very Nice!
No buy. Wait for new cool avars. But Niantic only focus on medals we must pay for.

Hello, nice medal. Thanks for it.
It's a pitty that it is only a purchase for money and it is not connected with any additional task in game.

@NianticBrian
Design looks bad and nothing about ingress style. Hope for better Ingress Prime style next time.
We all know already you don't like it. You don't need to tell us the same stuff every, single, post, period.
Thank you.
Medalha top, que venha mais.
Aww I missed it :(
Edit: going to -11 hr timezone didn't help either. Oh well
Late to this thread but i really really liked the pumpkin badge! We've all had a difficult year. $2.50 for a cute badge .... so yes! Bought it straight away. Thank you!!!
yes unlike avenir badge this was not a forced badge, didnt like it? not forced to buy, liked it? then u bought it and supported niantic end of story.
Agree. Your comments remind me of the old days when players drive regularly on weekends to do OP and obtain MU medals.
During the campaign, people in Hangouts tirelessly send messages update the progress cauz they really care about the success.
Don't know why some players are targeting you specifically and even tried to mute you. Don't worry, you have my support bro.
Congrats on reading a topic 8 months after the fact.

Congrats on taking things out of context when you don't even know the behavior of the user for 8 months prior.
As you would say: "Typical example of stirring the post by introducing off-topic buzzing."
I hope you're not going to be another user who will dig through a person's post history to grab at done issues. Cheers.
