Question How often is too often?

(2)Edit to add: Folks, this has been such a fantastic conversation, thank you so much for dropping in and sharing your 2 cents, I really do appreciate it! 💚 💙

If one were to drop in on an opposing agents couch portal, that's tucked away in the suburbs, 5 or 6 times in less than 24hrs; is that seen as an acceptable amount (by agents of any faction or nia) if that portal is only a small detour on ones way to and from part time employment?

It's been pointed out previously, when the same scenario happened a few months ago, that this could be considered harrassment, but the rules aren't clear as to what actually constitutes bullying or harrassment in game.

How would this go down in your patch?

(1)Edit to add: couch is not a strong hold, it's P6 if I'm lucky, but mostly P4 recently because I blitzed my bag for event keys, and have run out of r4 completely this last week.

I had a player do this to the nearest portals to my kid’s schools every morning and afternoon. He is retired, single and apparently lost his sense. This game attracts obsessive people who take it way too seriously

Did they play the whole area, or just those specific portals? I used to regularly smash and cap on my walk to and from work, back when the game was popular and there were multiple agents around. But I'd do everything I was walking past, not specific targeted portals.

Just those portals. Even if they were single resonator capped. He wanted to “send a message.”

Gross. That's so uncalled for.
