I don't think the majority of you read the rules. You have nothing to complain about.
Also it's hilarious you use the word impossible so much about not playing for two weeks. Completely and totally possible, just doesn't fit your agenda.
@HarleyQuinn42 as for me, I've read the rules. For me they sounded ridiculous from the very beginning. Not to hack to loose Sojourner streak, for example. I personally do not care about Sojourner medal, but many agents do.
Secondly, I could not ever believe the shards would be scored. I was mistaken.
I think, me and a lot of other agents have right to choose, whether to have this medal or not.
You said yourself you read the rules. Thus you had enough information to make a choice. Hack or not, it's still a choice you and many other agents made.
This badge happening for those who made one hack during the event was a known known.
It not impossible, it is just not what you want to hear. You should have been starting your antibadge campaign two weeks ago, maybe then your crying would have some legitimacy.
@HarleyQuinn42 We as regular participants of different events, we as agents being ground team-leaders, operators, POCs & playing Ingress actively for years definitely understand the rules very well.
There is no need to point to rules again and again. The main topic is about justice for agents who don't agree with such a terrible rule "don't play 2 weeks at all".
As I can remember for any of previous badges you should work hard, gain some heights, do a lot of gameplay work and compete with others or some in-game counters to get a badge. We had such a spirit associated with badges for years. But now...
I'm glad for everyone who likes getting it and I don't want to be an opposite to anyone. We just ask Niantic about removing a badge for us. I'm sure it'll be right and honest decision.
No way. Niantic has made this choice for us. It is similar as if someone gives you a choice "either you sit at home not going anyway for 2 weeks or if you don't, we'll burn your house". Обыкновенный шантаж.
My darling, unfortunately, there was no choice. I love ingress and I want to play ingress. I want to receive medals for which I tried: I went for 500 km, I spent nights far from civilization, I ran on different distances, I met agents. But I don't want a medal because the xf-lovers had a two-week trash while I was playing for my faction.
Yet the letter e-mailed to players says "You have successfully defeated Avenir". The intention is clearly that all Agents who played during the Avenir Shards event were counted as making a contribution into this "victory"...only in reality, a lot of us didn't - or actively fought against scoring the shards.
Understand, people don’t want badges because of the principle! They are against cross-factional events, because they **** the game. How many times can we repeat this?
Niantik destroys the battle between factions (the main principle of the game), reducing the game to the level of Pokemon search.
And now about bigger problem.
There have been no innovations in the game for a long time, even old players who are madly devoted to drawing triangles are tired of the senselessness of this endless battle. Endless battle and drawing triangles to many active players became boring. New badges? what about new game mechanics? No, not a new shield with 10,000 stickiness, but something completely new? at the moment this is not visible, as is not visible magnuses in the game, exogenous creatures, and much more.
Get a badge or abandon the game you love for at least at two weeks? This is the most terrible choice that gamemasters can do. In every game you can stay away from the event dev are running but you still can continue to play in that game. The always have been in Ingress. Every badge in Ingress have it own meaning. Every badge shows that you work hard enough to get this badge.
Niantic,
I have not defeated Avenir, I never played xfac shards, I don't want this medal.
I need you to remove the Avenir badge from my scanner.
As part of #teamtrickster I request Avenir badge removal from my profile. Without hacking, I'd have no keys to stop bot-driven shard hijack attempt, so my hacks were essential to state my position AGAINST xfac-shards. I never planned to hug smurves and fight entropy, I AM THE ENTROPY.
An example, the Second World War, was in the Soviet Union the hero star medal. this medal had to be earned as a heroic deed, and in ingress any medal can simply be bought. 2 medals or 14, my account will remain unchanged. the gameplay in style resembles the cardiogram of a deceased person, and the character development in the game is monotonous and linear.
There are no 100 ways to protect your portal and area. it is impossible to establish minefields from xm bombs, there is no way to put security turrets on the perimeter or to launch drones. There is no infection of the world with shapers like a virus in plague inc ....
And a couple more questions, what are the fields for? What do they really give apart from the impossibility of linking the portals under them? Explain to me.

Avoid any activity, lose sojourner streak, new uph, upv to don't get a shameful medal,
Best event rules ever, really!

You knew this was coming, it was in the rules.

Too hard to choose between losing Sojourner and getting Avenir
Хочу чтобы медаль была и осталось.!

I just brag 🙃
Dear Nia, could you please remove Avenir medal from my profile as well? I didn't participate that event. Thanks in advance :)

There is a choice. There is always a choice. Especially with a game you opt into.
Its was the ToS of the event; deal with it.
Since you don’t understand that it’s prudent to say that eating a tidepod is bad your health.
>>Niantik destroys the battle between factions (the main principle of the game), reducing the game to the level of Pokemon search.
Did somebody forbid you covering your city or keeping your home distinct in "right" colour?
Yes, i can but it give me nothing but number in score
Perhaps there should be a choice of medals, at least in color. I propose to make a black medal for opponents.
So nia doesn't destroy the battle. Go on.
Also you can ignore events you don't like. For example FS and xf-shards.

Remove this medal from my profile. I didn't play this XF shards and i'm against it.
Sorry, I didn't read your comment correctly.
What do you need from the game if score means nothing for you?
