Personally I think Niantic is too generous with their invites. Becoming a +Ingress agent is more than just joining a game and you should truly be tested before you're allowed to participate in this global battle. But then again maybe some would call me over zealous (I prefer passionate).
Why do I think you should be tested first??
Ingress is more than a game, it's a lifestyle. If you're truly an Ingress agent you will find yourself driving out of your way to go to portals, staying out really late to farm, running around meeting new people at all hours of the day and night, spending way too much money on backup batteries and gas and food because you never go home. Playing Ingress also means you need to be willing to be part of a team, it's not a requirement in all areas but it ads so much to the game that if you don't think you want to participate in that way then maybe this game isn't for you.
I've been playing since November 25th, so I guess you could call me a veteran. I'm also one of the leaders of the Seattle Resistance. During that time I've seen a lot of people come and go because they realize just what type of commitment it takes. They'll play for an afternoon and then never open the client again.
So consider very carefully, do you truly want to be an Ingress Agent?
