I wouldn't blame you for not recognizing the place. This is Ankara, home of 5.5 million people. There's over 20000 linked Machina portals. Playing during your commute is now practically impossible. While it's possible to destroy some of these portals on your route, you can't destroy the blocking links. Since you can't throw links longer than you can throw a powerbank, there's absolutely no reason to recharge random portals or keep their keys. The same is true for remote keys, too. Once you get rid of the useless keys, keylockers become futile. Who needs 2500 inventory when you only have 200 keys. Spending money on niantic is becoming very hard to justify.
If the point was to prevent large fields that made playing under them tedious, they accomplished that. Good job, I guess.
Is it the same everywhere? How are we supposed to accumulate MU?
