New temp ban only post here!

[nikchaing]

i too was having the problem where i couldn't loot stops
gave it a rest for a like an hour and im back at it again working just fine...for now

Like i said before, if the "Failed to get game data from the server" is not happening to clean accounts that never used a bot then it can't be a coincidence its being discussed here and not on the reddit Pogo forums.

I had hoped that Niantic would not have been this aggressive until the trading option was live so I could have sent my bot snared elite Pokemons over to my legit account.

Speed does not contribute to any bans , i'm running Necrobot with 100km/h, sniping and botting 24/7. Even now, I'm botting on my 2nd account without any issues of being soft banned, ip banned and what not. The accounts that are 'failing to get data from servers' are probably stuck in the servers that are down, that's all. Well, this is for people with at least half a brain and can actually read.Fear mongers are more than welcome to spread their half-fk knowledge. Until we get a ban notice, how can you morons even be certain that we got banned?

we all not sure how they measure the ban , but ban system is exist.

Guys, I have bad news for those of you getting "failed to get game data from server" (in europe)

You are permanently banned / your login token has been disabled server side.

I'm not scaremongering, just a long time lurker with a friend who works at the company.

Proof? Anyone can claim that they're anyone.

still 8 hours since catch flee ban and still going on, may be permanent

Same problem here. Around 10hr I think.

My main legit account (never boted) alse receive "Failed to get game data from the server", if i click "retry" on and on sometimes i manage to log in and everything its fine, but the problem appear again if i close the app, so i think its server side....

[fokeiro]

got the login error myself while other accounts on same phone / same type of login works so i guess is bye bye to that account.

There are a couple of new behaviors that we are observing today that seem to indicate new types of bans. I have done testing on several accounts and can reproduce the results every time which makes me conclude that these are new types of bans. The reason why everyone is not getting it is most likely because they are rolling these changes out region per region or similar. In the same fashion as previous changes were not observed by everyone at the exact same time, i.e. unknown6.

The two types of new behaviors that are observed are the following:

• Catch escape / flee: The first one I observed was that you get experience from Pokéstops but every Pokémon flees. This was partially solved by emulating more human like behavior in the bots such as lower walking speed, removing sniping and adding longer delays between actions. This ban was per user account and not per IP as I could start up new bots on the same IP as previous ones that received it, but with more human like settings, and not receiving it again.
• Loot ban into IP-ban: The second one which I have done more testing on is the one I started observing about two hours after the first one. Bots appeared to be running fine but got stuck in a loot temp ban loop where it would attempt to spin endlessly. Upon restarting the bot it would give me the no nearby Pokéstops error. Running a different account on the same IP yielded the same result.

After a lot of testing on the later of the two I have consistently gotten the following result:

• Spoof MAC-address to get a new IP-address
• Run a new single account with human like settings
• It then works fine for 3-4 Pokéstops and I am able to catch Pokémon during this time
• On the 4th or 5th Pokéstop I get the loot error loop again and upon restarting the bot I get the no nearby Pokéstops error.

I have reproduced this at least five times and it makes me believe that there is a new much stricter lootban which triggers an IP-ban. As for what triggers them I can only speculate. If I had a guess it could be related to the new windows that pop up when you launch the app and when you go to fast. If the app/servers has a way of detecting if you have actually pressed them or not it could temp ban users after x time or y actions for not doing so. It is a feature that has been in the game for a while but so was unknown6 before it was turned on.

I am afraid you are right.

Hi,

Sorry, I can't really give you proof as I'm not going to disclose a name on a public forum, especially as Niantic have not offered any official communication.

If you don't believe me, why don't you try creating a new account on your device, you will be able to login just fine.

Really? That's odd. If we got banned aren't we supposed to be truly erased from the date base? This happened before and we measured to get back in due to a server issue. If I got banned how come I can still see my avatar in a gym? Idk, that's not supposed to happen, is it? But oh well maybe it's true. We don't know and we definitely don't know if when you get ban you really get kicked out of the gyms you're in. Maybe when that gym is taken down idk

Im afraid hes not

No proofs, mail, ss, nothing

It's just so weird. So many other accounts with bots and just one get banned? And there's no explanation or message from Niantic saying we are banned? Idk that's really odd
