In this case, it is the reason that should have been mentioned, the difficulty of finding where the available bids are located. This is not a lack of available submissions.
This raises the interest of creating a heatmap for this kind of event, as some users mentioned in a post
IMO thatās one of the best comment section on here.
Iāve noted out of them that the main frustators were:
Much to learn for myselve and if Iād be a company who runs challenges Iād take my notebook
I gave up and only got to 35. Was not able to get anything to review ever. Was trying to get 50 and was hopefully on track before the end date and time. A little disappointing when the event ended randomly.
Donāt forget that plenty of people started submitting more because there was a challenge, I for sure did 
Yes that is a good suggestion!
This was not my intention.
What I was trying to say that whatever Niantic did would not please everyone, there would have still been vast complaints.
Now, I could add that I spent time getting from 400 to 500 and now that was a waste of time so I could add that I want extra from Niantic.
Does that seem reasonable to you???
Yea. I did this.after all my submission prior challenge returned, i submit more. in fact 1 of my 7 nomination submitted on 20th april went into voting and got approved. But the other 6 still in queue until now.
No, because for example the issues of the people that failed to reach the global challenge are beneath me. I reached it with ease, but I do empathize with the problems theyāre describing, because itās true. Allowing them to access the rewards they should have had anyway does not take anything away from me. This is how I look at the whole situation. Locking people out of rewards with lag and an an early event termination is not a fair game to run, especially by a corporation. Itās a disaster that should be mitigated.
The way the whole event was handled deserves some big red flags waving the next time it comes around. I mean, to the degree of warning people on reddit and discord before they proceed to go forward with it and contribute.
I mean the Wayfarer queue, to be blunt, is a clusterf***of a system. I was guessing maybe itās done through S2 but apparently when it says thereās no queue - thereās actually one.
The suggestion of places to review were helpful eventually but it took a while for the system to switch towards those locations. Whatās annoying was fighting the horrible system because the floating balloon is just an animation. You can force a manual refresh by going back into the review queue but it can get you rate limited for a minute. I guess this is something for Scopely to figure out because it seems like Niantic canāt at this point.
***slight mod edit
***edit 2: the previous edit was obfuscation of a single word
Sorry, I probably bit at youāre earlier comment which I took as a bit of an āattackā.
I myself donāt think it would be reasonable and it was my attempt at sarcasm.
As the issues do not effect me I am going to go radio silentā¦
I agree with the idea of a heatmap. If I were to play devils advocate on thisā¦ there will be a group of reviewers who, in their own right, be going to every location and reviewing til the cows come home and the whole nomination options would dry up quicker, leaving more people without the option to review. But I am not against the idea, just wondering how it would be best implimented.
Some sort of visual to help people find reviews would have been very valuable! It would have likely reduced the frustrated feeling of hunting for places to review
Yes. The screenshot I was working from and encouraging everyone to review towards had the goal at 260,000. I was quite perturbed that this change had been made with no fanfare when I found out on Monday. But it was a helpful change, so I moved on.
I thought about this, too, but am afraid that would cause more issues based on where you are on the planet. And then in other situations, they have been able to give us a higher tier when we have surpassed the goal. So would be nice to have that option.
I think they were just overwhelmed at how hard people were going for that OPR tick.
Past reviewing challenges have depended on them feeding us reviews. I think that works much better than us having to go find them. I doubt they will use this model again. But they tried something new, and new things donāt always work perfectly.
You play chess by chessing, itās a term I just made up.
Iām the best chess player in the world.
Agreed! Finding them took time, despite @AliceWonder1511ās amazing updates (and everyone else who shared). It was also the time for the location to swap over that slowed things down, as you initially werenāt sure if the new location was already done, or if it was just taking time to swap over
Seems like the 260k was actually a larger number than what was in the queue 
As you have said your words, I will add mine that will hopefully summarize my thoughts on the situation. No matter what the āgameā weāre playing looks like or works like, whether itās PoGo or Wayfarer, it should be a fair one. If itās a game of speed (get in on the first days or lose out), grind (keep reviewing to high heaven for rewards), quality or whatever else, the rules should be defined and the rewards should be distributed accordingly. At this moment, the game rules were not clearly defined, at some point the game broke down, the rules were changed mid-game and rewards were distributed to those that worked their way through the endless compounding failures. This is nothing to be proud of, itās not fair to demand the players to learn this āgameā and it should be the duty of the players to prevent new suckers from entering this game in the future.
Well i think i said enough. Its up to niantic/scopely on how they want to end this
This decision has resulted in frustration for many. It is natural that there were requests to continue the program, to extend it, and to improve access to it. In response, even if we present a hypothetical case for continuing as is, none of the people who are unhappy with the decision will be convinced because they have not experienced it firsthand.
What is important is that we should make a request to the Wayfarer team so that they can operate at their best going forward. The important thing is that we should make a request to the Wayfarer team so that they can operate at their best in the future, and the team staff should examine why this was done. Although the rewards were changed, they were the best rewards we have ever offered. This would have greatly increased the number of participants. Was the event duration and goals reasonable for the remaining submit (records)? I understand that this is a difficult time to transition to a new organization, but I hope the Wayfarer team will be proactive in conducting such validation.
I was at 341 reviewed. I did literally all I could, sitting on the page for hours, and now iām not gonna get the final reward?
I also commend @AliceWonder1511. Wonderfully done with the help on the forums and a demonstrated ability to make conclusions from the situation instead of engaging in defensiveness 
As it stands, no.
