Have you encountered similar experience and do you feel more and more trainers are becoming spoofing? Though there was this one time I had gotten home from a long day of Pokemoning, put on my pajamas, and sat down on the couch with the cat when a 100% Bulbasaur got posted from the map in our chat. That's what's happened in my town. Senso-ji temple, is a place where you can find a variety of pokémon types because of the … Should I evolve a slowking to stick in gyms…, How will the integration of Pokémon GO/Home work? Second ones though, I would not be surprised if non-spoofers became spoofers because they're punished by the community that suspects them as spoofers without a chance to clear their name. Last month I have got completely tired of competing with them. Sometimes I see people walking through the subway station spoofing, which is absurd because there are several gyms and spawn points at the station, so there is no need to spoof to a different location. I used to show up in person at legendary raids, wait for 10 minutes, and then leave when I saw no one around me and no one joining the lobby. Not so with spoofer scum. There was nobody around but me, which was perfect, as tier 1 bosses should be soloable easily. Copyright (C) GamePress All Rights Reserved. I'm not sure I'm seeing more spoofers, but the same spoofer/s getting more disruptive and abusive, ruining the game for some. Just standing at Niantic side point of view, if you are Niantic , u got youtuber playing as legit for the front , and spoofer supporting the number of player base. That's so true and niantic side of the story. Isn't the gripe against spoofers due to their lack of effort? The ones I have seen take my gym mere seconds from under my nose were still quite far away from the bench I was sitting on. Dont get me wrong on that. Niantic entire motivation is money. What is the point of that!? Spoofers suck. On the player side ; as i told on this post, some people really wants to play the game but live in "rural" areas. Luckily most relevant players in my city are legit and the spoofers usually are only a mild nuisance. I wish people did not have a need to spoof. No GPS rubber-banding, no problems, I am playing with no warnings from Niantic for over a month now. It's kind of sad that I live in a city of 3 million+ people and I've only ever seen and spoken with 1 or 2 players in my neighbourhood despite the fact that the gyms are always under attack and legendary raids often fill up. I don't want to participate in this race with other players who just use different types of cheats that are more acceptable to the general public. I am part of a WhatsApp group (installed WhasApp on a separate phone because I don't want that thing on my main phone). It's just that I'm only able to go outside in the evenings, need to do my chores and sometimes projects during the day, and then go for a walk, and then in the late evening until 3 am work on projects again. I do not consider spoofing as it would just make me lose the only reason of going outside nearly daily. However the game itself would be absolutely dead if its entire player base is composed by cheaters, which would discourage new and legit players interested in it.

I just vented about them in another tread, before seeing this one. Then he gave up gaming completely, but the guys are still using his account. I dont blame anyone at this point. Based on the raids I've been attending it seems like more people are spoofing, but I have to say there is one upside to that for me as a non-spoofer. Game isn't really playable in %80 of the world. Game is progressing soooo slow... Definitely some truth to that. It's nothing personal, but I don't see the point in engaging the game from that perspective. He's been called on local discord by a few of us, that results in us now being targeted, swiped from gyms, even when in late slots, he'll use his multis to berry up others so he can selectively strike out ours. So that's a positive. Therefore spoofing comes in Handy. Since Niantic wholeheartedly approves of spoofing, they should make it like Dark Souls. That started being natural at some point, but I didn't participate since my Gmail account is to important for me to share it. But of corse, once the match started there were suddenly two more players in the gym. This game cost me to much time and effort to keep up with the sharing team. Another made level 38, and as soon as others saw his video of getting level 38, they accused him of spoofing because ... none of them has ever seen him before. or even the gameboy games?? I live in a big city with tons of gyms but in a part where there's not a lot of foot traffic. What's the point of it? Pokemon Go is played local, you do not compete with Long Beach, but with the other players in your town. So I am re-posting: Raid levels is already something spoofers are ruining again. 3. if i still played GO, i would never spoof. First are those who were known as legit and played legit until they got bored of the game.

I'm ok with trainers having more than 1 account. The sad part is that these players in rural areas would have a chance to play the game as it is intended, if the spoofers did not ruin for them.

It has turned out that my second Android phone is perfect for spoofing. Yes spoofing sucks and could be 1000x better if ıt wasnt a thing from the start but niantics inability is not helping at all. Admittedly, I am disappointed that these trainers have turned to spoofing and perhaps more disappointed by niantic's tolerance of spoofing. Believe me i will be quitting before harrytipper2 did. No stress, more time to myself. Come on Niantic, you need to do something. While other real players get the thrill of going out and catching a good pokemon, spoofers get nothing. While the raid and gym features have brought people together and forged many good relationships for many trainers, sadly it did not work for me as I am simply not the sort that enjoy calling someone a friend just because we fought a gym and talked about pokemons for a few minutes a day... My problems are the following when it comes to socializing: The way the gym had been set up from the start and later revamped had encouraged this sort of behavior from players who want to gain unfair advantage. With time things have changed within the teams. I have stopped... and started spoofing. I evolved a purified Porygon-Z earlier…, GO Battle League Team Builds: Ultra League. If I get overpowered soon, I will probably just drop the game altogether and be done with it. Them taking/sniping gyms when they should be for those actually travelling, collecting and using strong pokemon in fights and gyms that they otherwise wouldn't have, and likely most importantly forcing Niantic to redirect resources to fight them, thus all players not getting better and quicker updates. The CEO came out last year and said "there will never be trading because players would use the black market to profit" So what???? In my community, new players usually get interested after witnessing the legit ones actually going outside and farming/raiding. So I am re-posting: Raid levels is already something spoofers are ruining again. It's discouraging. Get off your lazy @$$3$ and walk or bike. the biggest culprit has some form of God complex, insisting on "maintaining balance" in my area, killing gyms and leaving multiple grey, so as to have equal numbers of each colour in his sphere of care. I don’t even remember when the last ban wave happened. This can get you access to Raids and Gym, as well as lie to the game about how much you're walking. But for now I am working on lvl40. Friggin' hypocrites. This morning I went to a tier 1 raid in the outskirts of town. I have been playing on and off since the game launched and have never spoofed. Now it's just an endless stream of gloat posts about spoofed 100% Pokemon. Pokémon is Copyright Gamefreak, Nintendo and The Pokémon Company 2001-2018.
