Ingress is a different game for me. I realize people spend money, time, and gas on the game. I enjoy all aspects of the Ingress game play mechanics but the social interactions and IRL encounters are of little interest to me.

I currently have 9 accounts level 8 or higher, both factions. These accounts all have anomaly and/or founders badges. I play and consider Ingress like any other MMOG.

I’m fully expecting the full brunt of the community at large but Ingress just isn’t fun unless I can play it my way. I’m not a sociopath or a ”troll”, I just perceive the game differently. The game is also figuring out how ingress works and figuring out ways to get around limitations.

My spoofing setup is not standard software and I use hardware GPS emulators which includes additional NMEA data so you would be hard pressed to find me through combing through data. I’ve disabled cell triangulation and wifi based location lookups in my devices. I can also emulate edge/3G signals but that’s more time consuming.

Final note, I hit L16 a month ago and I’m ready to quit. Not much has changed in terms of game play and there’s little enjoyment for me now.

Flame on!*quick edit – I know what I’m doing is against the TOS. The game is not Ingress but how does it work underneath.**
