TaylorSwift 162,321 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 The creators of Pokemon Go have announced they've punished more than five million players for cheating. In a blog post https://nianticlabs.com/blog/cheatingupdate-022321, Niantic said it issued sanctions to players across three games - Pokemon Go, Ingress, and Harry Potter Wizards Unite. It said since 2020, more than 20% of those were permanent bans. "We have made a commitment with all of our players towards promoting fair gameplay...and improving transparency with our players," the creator wrote. source https://store.taylorswift.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it is fun. But with Pokemon go there are certain types of Pokemon which can only be found in certain areas/countries in the world. The only real way to catch these Pokemon is by travelling, which is expensive and impossible at this moment in time. I definitely understand why people do it End Racism Now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can be in some mental condition or situation though, that caused them to do what they do aka Murder. Considering GO is not even competition game, there is not enough reason to justify.

As I used to live by myself so I cannot have a meal without my phone so I'm either playing games or scrolling down Instagram or gagadaily etc while I'm eating (oversharing a little bit) I genuinely thought the game died a long time ago!! I'm really surprised that people still play it, especially that I only played it for a few weeks after release then stopped. 8 minutes ago, Supersonic said: My local whatsapp group has more than 100+ active members, we are town of 11,000 people. You tell me. oh wow that's a lit of players... I think I thought it died because it was very hyped at first and news were everywhere about it then people stopped talking about it idk. I'm glad y'all are still enjoying it though! Meanwhile I'm still playing Candy Crush Soft, soothing, and succulent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering GO is not even competition game, there is not enough reason to justify. With the introduction of the PVP Battle League system it has become a competition game a year ago The main reason people cheat is the regional availability of Pokémon. https://pokemongohub.net/post/wiki/regional-pokemon-list/ The system also introduced weekly bonuses for people who walk 5km, 25km and 50km and 100km per week and people tried to abuse the system, using spoofing apps to simulate walking. In the early beginning of these anti-spoofing filters being employed, a lot of players were penalized for actually just playing while they were riding along in a car whose driving patterns caused their alogrithm to become suspicious. Last year remote raiding was introduced due to the Covid-19 pandemic, because like 10+ people meeting up outside was a bit problematic, but before being able to participate in remote was an option, people would spoof distances of like 300m in order to be closer to an arena to participate in a raid, especially when Covid-19 first spread. Also I gotta say... I don't trust Niantic's framing of "90% of people we acussed of cheating stopped cheating" because false accusations were so frequent, I wonder how many people that were accused of cheating actually weren't.

Guest Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I saw people on Reddit who didn't cheat get banned. Hopefully there is a way they can verify the real cheaters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
