Pokemon Go players criticize Niantic's flawed Field Research tasks and rewards
Pokemon Go players are expressing frustration and dislike towards Field Research tasks that require them to scan PokeStop locations, with many immediately deleting these quests. The scanning tasks, which are part of the Wayfarer feature used by Niantic to collect location data, have been deemed "ridiculous" and "dumb" by players. Some players have found a workaround by keeping one scanning task at all times to prevent receiving additional ones.
