Hello! I'm using Pokéfarmer and I'm wondering what you think the ban-risk might be for me with these settings and routines: >having walking speed on (3km/h in settings) >I don't teleport while bot is active, and i have never done it(with bot off) without the real time it would take for me to travel that distance plus a little bit of extra time to make it look realistic. >I have the bot walking between pokestops in the city i live, where i have been walking around IRL with the original app without bot. The bot is walking pretty much the same paths as i did. >I don't have the bot running 24/7, and i only have the bot running in real-like sessions. I really think this sounds nearly waterproof. Now for the last question: CAN Niantic see a difference in the client running the game, so that i can be banned afterwards, even when I'm done botting? What do you think guys? Have you been banned?
Niantic knows you asked these questions and they're banning you right now... Follow the GOLDEN RULE: Don't bot on an account you're worried about losing.
My personal theory is that Niantic's API update was to delay the cheaters while their development team come up with a solution but I am probably completely wrong. In light of my theory, I am pretty much 24/7 no fear botting hoping I would make the max level finish line before the ban hammers start flying out regularly/everywhere.
I mean, of course botting isn't accepted by niantic, but the ones rage-botting with fastest speed and most unreal settings are damaging the game the most, and thus probably are prioritized when banning? Or if they see a difference in client they can just drop the ban hammer so everyone who has ever opened the program disappear from the game.
You guys have to remember we're talking about the Buddy team here, who have BEATEN Activision and Blizzard. Sure they might start finding ways to ban people or scare us, but The Buddy Team will always prevail. Like someone said before follow the golden rule DON'T BOT ON AN ACCOUNT YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT LOSING! I think right now is the perfect time to bot because niantic is too busy and focused on releasing this game worldwide because their average daily users is plummeting after PokeVision was shut down. Right now we are a necessary evil because those of us that use several instances of the bot with multiple accounts are showing as average daily users and we raise the time that someone is logged in playing. I don't think (Knock on wood) that Niantic want's to shun us yet.
Like the others have said, don't bot if you aren't ready to lose it. It's not a matter of if, but when adding to that, however, I'd made a new account explicitly for extreme botting of this game, and have had good luck thus far running it with no stops/50km hr/teleporting/72 hrs straight and barely any softbanning So realistically, I'd be more likely to get hit before you do I think the thing that will call this bot out to Niantic is the perfect throws over time since I don't think you can even get those in game anymore
