#Ingress is currently ‘celebrating Earth Day’ by giving double XM for recycling items in the games. This means that recycling power cubes is twice as effective than just using them, which is a strangely mixed message.
It’s just a bit of fun, but if they wanted to make a difference, they should make playing Ingress by car more difficult: reduce the speed at which the game locks down from 40mph to 20mph, for instance. 😈
To be clear, playing #Ingress while driving is dangerous at any speed, is against the ToS of the game, and in most countries is against the law. But people still do it, and Niantec could stop them, but won’t.
@nic I’ve been in vehicles where the drivers are cargressing. Yikes!
It’s fun to imagine that Niantic could keep the speed limit in place but only for people taking public transit. A 20 km/hr limit would be fine for my streetcargressing! #Ingress
@sillygwailo Yeah, I play on the bus quite a bit, and only occasionally get timed out on my regular commute. I think reducing the max speed to 20mph would be the end of busgressing, but if that stopped psychos from playing with their phones while driving, I’d take one for the team!
