Hi there, I am a newbie here, I just joined today. I am not sure if this is relevant, but my account is working and here is what I have been doing. Before I knew about Pokefarmer, I purchased 5 botted accounts online from a vendor. It didn't cost me very much so I was willing to gamble the ban. IN the meantime I decided to research HOW to bot so I wasn't buying accounts in the future. All the accounts were banned within a few days (they were a part of the last ban wave apparently) I began using PF about 10 days ago. I have not received a ban yet. I have only one account I am experimenting with. I created the account by creating a gmail email. Then moved to phone and set up PG as a new player. Went back to gmail and verified account and I played for a little bit on my phone and later that night used BF. I put my toon/avater (what do you guys call it?) in a spot where I play in Utah (the salt lake mormon temple) and it has a zillion pokie stops. It is set on walk 3.6kmh. I have it keeping 3 highest cp/iv and I log into it every few days on my Ipad and play like normal. I actually delete the potions and razzberry's myself and transfer some of the pokemon to candy, I have changed her clothing and turned the music/sound effects/battery saver on and off and did many of things you would do IF you were playing normally. Yesterday, a dragonite popped about 5 miles from my house and I took her out and she caught it (I drove in the car and logged in for the first time that day on my iPad). I bot about 3 or so hours at a time. I haven't traveled or sniped, just played in the same spot over and over (which is what I do to my main account), and occasionally log her in by my house, outside the city and play in a dragonite rich area that is fairly remote and has only 4 PS. If I move, I give it the same amount of time it would take me to drive there. Not sure if Niantic does this in waves? But so far this is working really well for me. It is very slow going. She is now a level 20, almost 21.
Most people have reported back that the bans tend to happen in the 20's Talk to us in a few more levels
Plenty of people have done just what you are saying, and are even more cautious changing their IP, Not Teleporting, Manually logginng in once in a while, Not do anything that would appear to be BOT activity and yet they still got banned. I've lost 2 accounts myself. Still got 4 up and running with 2 using PokeFarmer. 1 running a hacked version of the App and the last one is legit. Only time will tell which gets banned. Hopefully with all the new changes coming in to the Bot will make it a lot harder for Niantic, or we could just be kidding ourselves. They may have a way that's detectable that we don't know of yet. Out of the millions of accounts, some botters will slip through. Niantic knows this, just as long as their Pay 2 Play userbase doesn't drop too much or they start screaming in droves like they did a few weeks back, we might be safe. Again, Time will tell....
Thank you for your feedback. I don't have anything to lose, I will play with it and experiment. But, I am not counting on anything lol.
botting at 50 km speed for 8hr + a day. Teleported from saint monica to new york. Level 29 and 28 atm no ban. edit: pretty sure i just jinxed myself by posting this..
I wanted to see if I get BAN, so I established an account just for this task, and drove Pokemon Go. From 2 Level I left all activity on Pokerfarmer setting: 3.6 km / h pokestop loot - no GYM Incubator the best two Pokemon IV otherwise everything had been set as ..... Run for three days nonstop when I leave for Pokefarmer when they log out and log in, and when no prohibition .... I am now 24 level and everything is OK In conclusion, I would like to thank the developers for the great job - you have my admiration
No ban yet because they stop banning at the moment. But of course,most bot accounts are flag already just like before the first banwave, Enjoy it while you can!
