There's still a very active Ingress community in my area which is both good and bad. Good if you want to play because you can get some friends together and frack for high level gear, good because friendly competition makes the game stronger since progress relies in part on turnover. Bad, unfortunately, because some of the most hard core players are the most toxic. We're talking people who run multiple accounts, stalk players, scrape data to ensure (back when that was a thing) you could never get a guardian, location spoof, etc. Like a lot of other games (Eve Online, for example) the lack of sharding favors the trolls. And by trolls I mean the people who clearly consider the most fun part of the game to be ruining it for everyone else.
