regardless of usage poke farmer is now detectable, i've used pokefarmer very lightly on one account maximum time for 30 mins before i switched to another, settings were walking speed and never above that. always kept to the most upto date version. one of my accounts was perma banned, the others seemed fine, now this morning another two accounts are perma banned and my next few accounts will be banned shortly. any account that has been soft banned is flagged for review which is why some of my accounts have been perma banned. but i have accounts parma banned just from using pokefarmer for less than 30 mins on them. something in pokefarmer is detectable maybe the way it accesses the server but i've been very sensible it just appears niantic are going over flagged accounts and perma banning them. amount of botting doesn't seem an issue. just be prepared to have all your botted accounts perma banned! even sensible use of the bot is not recommended unless you dont give a toss about that account. ahwell it was fun whilst it lasted
I believe you are incorrect although I do not know how often they ban people. All I know is I have been botting Before, During, and After the First ban wave and none of my accounts are affected.
Well maybe you where a totally different location when botting? or where online with your phone and bot at the same time. I can't agree on your post. I have been botting from lvl 20 - 31 with pokefarmer and used it for 8 hours straight everyday and im not banned.
It's called luck of the draw. Some people get banned some don't. If you haven't got caught yet you will eventually.
like i said I have accounts which have not been banned but they shortly will be, im sorry to say that any account you have used pokefarmer on will eventually be banned over the next two weeks. niantic have reversed engineered pokefarmer and are reviewing accounts and shutting them down that way. so it doesnt matter im not gunna waste time on my other accounts because they've been flagged and will also be perma banned very soon.
This is nothing but pure speculation on your part. You have not produced a shred of evidence that even implies that your statement is true, no sources, no documentation, no logs, no nothing. I suggest that you either present us with something productive, or you can take a chill pill like the rest of us.
Banned Several of my friend's and my accounts have been banned. We don't over use...something is up. We have lost 4 accounts total. Even local only ones.
As of yesterday, both of my Pokéfarmer accounts are now permanently banned. On March 5, Niantic said they want to get under control the many players who are spoofing their GPS to play from home. So in the future, how will Pokefarmer be able to spoof our GPS successfully?
It's time to stay low. It's not the right time to bot. I was lucky my 9 accounts are alive. They talked about end with spoofers because they want to change the Gym-game part ... it seems they're very annoying because spoofers collects too many coins and don't let "legal" players to get any. (which is completely true). I have no idea how they can detect that but I will try not to get 100 pokecoins per day... too obvious... I remember a time when I had about 23-25 pokemon in gyms... it was insane That time is also over. They also want to end with that because the trades will come very soon and it will be a complete nightmare to deal with cheaters who have 900000 pokemon 100% IV. My plan is to "save" my 2 big accounts (mystic team) to my daughter's samsung and my iphone and play with them 100% legal. Another 2 accounts (red & yellow team) to play with fake-gps (in low profile) and I will save the others 5 as back-out... when everything will be calmed I will start again.
Spoofing gyms There are many "legal" players around here in 50 gyms. So legal isn't much in my book. There are a lot more problems in this game that should come before someone GPS spoofing a little.
Got it on both my lvl 22 and lvl 12 account. Slowest speed. No immediate transfer. Only using PF. Oddly enough, once I restart the app, the pop up came back. I dont think it's safe to use PF if the bot doesnt automatically close the window. It'll be even more obvious if we're still able to bot with a pop up window up. ~~ Since it looks like most of us are getting the message regardless of bot behaviour, it's a concern that PF itself is detectable. Yes, it's using the latest api. So? Api is probably one of the many checks. I suspected it to be an elevation thing, but from my understanding, NinjaBot doesnt provide that either. My next suspicion could be a walking speed. Realistically, humans dont walk consistently at 3.8kph all the time. I've asked about it in this thread (which no one gave me an answer of how PF functions in that aspect). Else, it could be some device code that Niatic is picking up as my phone spoofer friends havent gotten the message. And they use the IV checkers too. UPDATE: In addition to what I posted... I'm pretty convinced that they're detecting PF somehow. Then ban depending on how aggressive the botting is. My brother's account also got the message and he used my PF key once. And it was to catch a Snorlax (after not logging in for a few hours), everything around it, then logging off. That was back in late January. My problem is if we bot now. We're definitely gonna get flagged unless PF auto dismisses popups. That message shows up every time I log in on my phone. Does PF dismiss that message?
