Suggestion for in-game rewards

Hello I have a suggestion that I would like to discuss about getting rewards for actively contributing as a reviewer/nominator.

I was thinking it could be a very good idea to introduce getting rewards, like for example pokeballs, or some “premium” items added to your account once you hit a certain agreement amount. Like the same way upgrades work, but with a better and more inclusive beneficial factor which will be beneficial in both ways: More quality reviews for Niantic and more reviews being done, and Wayfarer being more rewarding.

Upgrades lack purpose, especially in areas that have fast turn arounds, and seeing that Niantic is looking for more reviewers (since they lowered the requirements in Ingress and soon Pokèmon GO). This change would make sure Niantic will have increased activity in reviewers and nominators.

These items should only be given on agreements, so people who poorly review will be left out.

I don’t disagree with this concept. But for those who are eligible in both games (or more if they ever allow submitting in new games), which game gets the rewards?

It might be easy to say it should be the one that was used for nominating, but there are enough differences between nominating in the current games, that people use them for different reasons. You can nominate from further away in Ingress. Ingress nomination kinda goes faster because you don’t have to select a category. But others like the ability to be anonymous in PGO, which can’t happen in ING.

What I’m pointing out here is that something like this would need a layer of programming to allow the person to select the game they want their rewards in before even getting to programming the actual rewards.

What would an Ingress reward that’s equivalent be? Your post just seems to discuss Pokémon GO rewards

Resonators? Not sure as im not an ingress expert

Agree, I don’t think I’d want Pokeballs or any other in-game item that’s easy to get at game play locations.

We already get badges for reviewing, so maybe one for nominating and editing would be nice. Other rewards could be some avatar items, like shirts and hats in PoGo and different pointers and icons in Ingress.

Did you mean, the Seer badge?

It’s gonna come back any day now from it’s temporary suspension right?

Allow us to sell back unwanted items (at the cost price). This would really help in rural areas where the lack of gyms means limitations in getting coins. If i could sell back potions or red poke balls at what it cost to purchase, that would be awesome.

Hello and welcome,

This is more of a PoGo game play issue than Wayfarer related. We are discussing rewards for participating in Wayfarer that could be given out in the games. There’s already a badge for review agreements received in both PoGo and Ingress, but there’s no rewards for it.

I think your suggestion would best be provided to the PoGo team, as they are separate from the Wayfarer team.
