Pokémon Go players beg Niantic to stop giving them one annoying research task
Pokémon Go players are getting fed up this week with Niantic’s implementation of an annoying type of Field Research task, which requires gamers to scan an area for augmented reality mapping.
Players feel the AR Mapping tasks, which require the Pokémon Go user to walk around a place and scan it with their phone’s camera for 20 seconds, are very awkward and weird to observers—especially around certain locations like schools and playgrounds. Players agree the concept is cool, but they want Niantic to stop shoving the tasks down their throats.
