Will I be banned?

[Frostyx]

Well, I accepted that long time ago, not my first experience but I've been always lucky or smart in some ways to never be banned in WoW/D3 while botting on main accounts, so who knows how the pokemon things turns out

I had at least 20-30 soft bans maybe ill stop when they start swinging the hammer, maybe not. Another thing is, its impossible for some ppl to play this game efficiently/wit fun without spoofing, so I think unless spoofing crazy from country to country or very big distances, it won't be a problem.

cheating is cheating that is not a excuse some people really try hard to play and enjoy the game while some in the matter says it cannot be enjoyed since they really never tried spending hard work on it so they can easily say cannot be enjoyed

i hope that they would release trading before the ban wave hehe xd

I'm pretty sure if you used fakegps and appplayers "carefully" then you won't get a ban.
I just used it around my hometown, which doesnt matter like could use it anywhere, and did not port around.
Just used some routes with Lockito, for like 4-10km in a normal jogging speed, things like that.

I mean if I chill at a friends house, minimize the app, drive home to my house, let's say 5km in like 10 minutes or so, open the app again, you will also "port" around when your gps gets relocated.
What I overall mean is that when you didnt port your ass all the time from 1 stop to the other or even from city to city, country to country and so on, you won't get a ban probably.
In the end, if you dont want to risk anything, you shouldnt even start "cheating"...

Turn off Nox, put down the mouse, and walk away from the computer. The FBI will be there soon. Just kidding! I have been soft banned a couple of times so far. I turned off the program and shut down the computer for a few minutes while I did other things around the house. I came back online it was ready to play. However, today, the game is so laggy that nobody in my neighborhood can get online.

I'm kinda nervous about it too, but I only stick to my home town. I can't walk/use my hands so really this is the only way I'm going to get to play Pokemon Go reasonably. But if a ban happeens, it happens. v.v </3 I'll enjoy it while it lasts.

Lets assume there will be about +30 million players worldwide.

May i ask if they can track/save all of our current/past datas (to a certain degree)? For example only storing our activities from the last days and the activities before that get deleted, same goes for logging in for Nox for certain days and after that only with the phone only - so we can override that we ever used Nox. In case if they store all of our datas ...

... how will it be determinated to receive a ban?

How can they even detect "hacks" if Nox/Gpsspoofere are rooted, besides jumping countries or porting instantly?

Or can they only ban for future cases when they enable/implent a code/software/program, so we can only risk a possible ban in the future?

Any answers are appreciated, thanks in advance

Who knows what their data retention is so it is hard to say. I would guess since one of the most valuable parts of this application is the data, I'm guessing they aren't tossing it out.

They have more than enough resources to decide to analyze and ban us, but they are likely busy rolling out the application to the rest of the world.

As for what they can do, they can ban you for whatever reason they want.

They don't seem to give a single f u c k about any issue and never respond to the players. It used to be the same in Ingress, they NEVER responded to or fixed well addressed issues andnd if they're not fixing high priority stuff, I don't think they will go after spoofers anytime soon.

[MonsterMMORPG]

i dont think they can perm ban based on gps locations

pretty sure there would be many false positives

[SparkBird]

No they will not ban people that got softbanned just a few times.
If you think that there is a possiblity of a false positive.

If someone goes on holiday and puts on airplane mode for example in the US and travels to Europe and then turns off Airplane mode and turns on GPS it would also jump so yeah.
They softban as a warning but of course those who jumps very often will deal with banwaves.

I've spoofed in ingress for a long time on multiple accounts, it really is a matter of just having patience and following a strict ruleset to where it looks like you're just a normal player. I have never left my city, never ported long distances in unreasonable amounts of time. Always watched carefully and made sure I have my gps set up properly by doing extra checks and opening google maps to make sure it's registered my location. I don't even travel long distances or stay in a singular spot that would seem suspicious, I try to always log into the app in similar locations that I have in the past. I've been spoofing with fake gps and now am using nox for the WASD feature and have not been soft banned even one time even though I've been spoofing since the game came out.

I'd say if you get banned just make a new account and start being patient, if you're not stupid and don't do anything that seems even slightly out of the ordinary you'll be fine if what I've experienced in Ingress is any indicator.

I've been using Nox and the WASD feature and have stayed in the same town the entire time. I don't use macros or other applications. I really hope I don't get banned because I've been pretty patient with my use of spoofing.

My question is, will they be able to detect that we're using Nox?

What about botting? I mean ... botting only a couple of hours brings RIDICULOUS results. RIDICULOUS. Non-human messed up results in my opinion.

Will botters not have an extremely high chance to receive a Permanent Ban?

Talking about Ingress, did people get banned in that game?
