[Gameplay feedback]: remove buy resonators / xmps next to the ´deploy´ / fire button
The button isnt in the carroussel anymore which is already good. now it has moved next to the fire and deploy button and to me its still unsufficient (ok u have to do 1 click more before u can buy but still). to me, it should be removed completetly. if i want to buy stuff , i´ll go to the shop.

I’m happy Niantic has responded to our feedback with a reasonable compromise.
Is there some reasoning behind your request that you can explain?
Complaining for the sake of complaining I think.... can't please em all
The change made is the best compromise between monetization and non-intrusive changes.
Complaining about every possible attempt for the product to actually survive is a guaranteed way to get the product to fail.
as i said , i said its already good that its gone from the carroussel.
still to me , there is still a (ok, smaller now) chance to buy by accident for example the moments when ur not lookin at ur screen ("stay aware of ur surroundings") and quickly are firing xmps intuinitively.
+still actually seeing a button appearing (and not hidden in the menu) to buy stuff during ur actual gameplay is still like nia´s message, "we still want ur money"
no worries, you don't buy by accident. you still need to hit the CONFIRM button which is higher up on the screen.
and niantic is a business, not a charity.

And they damn well DO want your money. Because without it, they do not pay their staff. Without it they do not keep the servers alive.
Learn how to pay for the things you want to enjoy, instead of demanding a free ride from businesses. The mindset that you should get everything for free is a guaranteed way to destroy the game... or drive them to make you the product instead of the customer.
Waits here's a idea op might like, unskipable video ads every 5 minutes /s
As far as monetization goes, Ingress is one of the most non-invasive "for profit" games ever.
Happy with the move from the carousel.
so i still got a reason to complain. just bought r8s by accident. i was heavily recharging reso´s (someone attacking) ). buy button being too close to reso so i hitted it by accident . and with response time from server being slow , u quickly passed those 2 clicks to buy stuff (without barely seeing it).
Ok they want money but dont let players let them earn money by accident with putting these buttons close to action buttons.
sounds like you need to look at your screen, especially when you can boost recharge
Given that the "Buy Resos" button does not appear on the Recharge screen... either there's more to it, or it didn't happen. You didn't notice a big screen popping up with a button in a different location? You'd have to move your finger to the middle of the screen to hit Acquire...
This is not a reasonable compromise. Instead of Niantic shitting on your dinner table, they are shitting in the corner of your dinning room. Neither should be happening, there's a proper place for that activity.
We already have in-game store. We are already paying for anomalies. We are already paying for CORE.
If people are not buying from the store enough, it's the problem with the store, not that people can't find it. 🤦 Prices they are selling things for there are not worth buying! That's the problem with the store!
NOBODY asked Niantic to shove IAP into our faces. Nobody find those buttons useful.
