Currently, there is little incentive for players to actively review Wayspots. I would like to suggest a simple reward system: for every 10 approved reviews completed in Niantic Wayfarer, the player could receive 1 Rare Candy XL in Pokémon GO, or an equivalent reward in other Niantic games that rely…

Still sounds easier than 200 best buddies :sob:

Standby for more horrible nominations

I understand that the review process needs to have safety measures because there are places that aren’t safe for pedestrians to visit. But when some people take this process too seriously, it ends up ruining the fun for everyone else, unfortunately. Still, I guess we can’t expect much from Niantic w…

Bout to say this exact thing, even if you just do the easy hearts 1 for feeding 1 pet 1 snapshot and 3 battles for all 21 buddies every day you’d have to do that for a year and a half (give or take) to get 200 best buddies. Most others are way faster even if tedious.

The thing with the Wayfarer medal in Pokemon Go is that your rating has to be Good or Great for agreements to count. My rating dropped to Fair – I tried to get it back up but it didn’t happen, and since I wasn’t getting points on my medal progress, I gave up reviewing. I get that I’m only a Fair rev…

I think GG candies would be a good reward in Pokémon Go. For every X number of appraisals, you’d get 1 GG candy. As for the other games, since I don’t play them, I’m not sure what would make a good reward.

Game rewards are not something Wayfarer can determine. So you should ask the respective game managers. Especially for PoGo, which is the topic here, WILD AREA will be held next weekend and GO TOUR will be held next year. I think there will be Scopely/Niantic staff there, so it would be good to co…

I don’t get it — they can add a medal in the game for reviews, but they can’t add any kind of direct reward? Why not use the Wayfarer Agreements medal so that for every agreement you earn, you get some (meaningful) in-game reward? And for the love of god, please don’t make it fruit — give us somethi…
