12 of my account locked down one by one, even my account that I'm not using for 2 weeks. Not any single of my account left. it's true that they do ban in batch.
This is not over, i will reborn from ashes like phoenix does. Lol.
Lot of my friends quit, not because of the exp required, because of "nearby" not working. We still played after nearby stopped working, thanks to Pokevision, but after they took it down, there was no point to keep playing because Nearby is like 80% of the game.
I played legit until level 24, everything was going alright, I knew about the exp required after level 30 and all, but it didn't bother me because this game will have way more content such as trading, events, other gens etc.
What bothered me was this: I caught Magikarps like crazy, I would go outside with my friends for 4+ hrs each day since release, catch Pokemon, drive for 20mins to the beach for farming Magikarp candies etc. I had 600+ candies, and I had finally got a 97% Magikarp. I hit the evolve button, and I got a Gyarados with freaking TWISTER! I was disappointed. This was during my mass evolve session as well, which didn't go very good overall. My Nidoqueen and Nidoking also had crap movesets. 7 of my Eevees evolved into 5xJolteon, 1xFlareon, 1xVaporeon. My best Eevee evolved into Jolteon, 2nd worst evolved into Vaporeon. My 100% Koffing (hatched) evolved and got the worst moveset. And some others I don't remember also had bad moves.
This got me thinking "wtf even is the point of playing this game if I can't get the Pokemon/moves I want after farming for hours" and I started botting. Got hit by the ban hammer 1 week later. The game's broken, anyone that knows about IVs and movesets will eventually be discouraged when they get a bad Eeveelution or a bad moveset. Unless they actually allow us to choose movesets/evolution, I'm just gonna test different configs on fresh accounts till I get bored of that too.
