POSSIBLE reason why so many people are getting banned.

[Hexual]

Hey everyone, just a quick thing I have noticed with a little bit of testing.

I have been leveling 2 accounts and unfortunately one of the 2 got banned (level 20) today and I think it has something to do with the fact that the bot isn't able to accept the rewards after each level and/or medals.

I logged on (with my phone) on the 2 accounts.

First account: I have been actively playing on my phone accepting rewards and medals - NOT BANNED

Second account: I haven't touched it and got a bunch of rewards for leveling up and medals and then the next day... - BANNED

Is it possible that this might have to do something with people playing legit, then botting, then playing legit but got to accept a mass amount of rewards once they logged back on their phone after many level ups?

If so, is it possible to integrate something to accept the rewards and medals so we kind've fully mimic the human behaviour?

Just food for thought...!

Stop posting stuff like this in the wrong section. You get banned if you cheat. It's that simple.

[Kaew]

I've always wondered about this too!

[Kureka]

It's maybe just 1 of many possible thing to get account flagged.

[Hexual]

If so, would there be a way to possibly make the bot accept the rewards and medals?

Most bots already do.

If you want, you can start botting again with default config and newest bot that claim they are safe (I use pokemobbot/pokeroadie).
But don't spend any money in it, and be prepared to be getting banned anytime.

No testing needed

it depends on many factors like if you are playing safe, reckless, or using outdated hacks. I don't think they know if you are using bots or not, but they can easily figure it out by just looking at your character acting suspicious like doing the same thing in order, exp per hour, walking patterns (like walking in a straight line when you use Nox), walking in the water, running on top of buildings, teleporting, ignoring the "dont play pkm go while driving warning!", and many more other reasons. Also maybe the reason why they might ban someone by mistake. They do ban people by mistake. At first they don't really care, and now they are serious. If you play safe, there might be a lesser chance of getting caught. I don't think anyone would like to play safe here.

Don't log in on your phone yet. Create PTC account then go on bot with human like config. Then level up to max level. Then log in finally to play.

Yes this is what i do. But how about user name? It default as my username?

so detail, but for sure they not ban who people are fail as setting the bot become human like or whatever, they ban people because they can detect who account is login by fake rocket api.dll

Already try that method before and that acc just perma-banned today (got email too).

Username you can pick later after login on phone.

Bots are still bots if you put on human-like setting. Bots can't think like humans do. You still have a chance of getting banned if they catch you.

Not a single bot does lmao.

3 accounts:
MAIN ACCOUNT Lvl 23:, played legit. Used Nox from lvl 1-12 (pre released in our region). Started Playing again LEGITLY this time from 12-19. Decided to bot just to evolve PIDGEY STACKS.Left the bot in my common place where I play legitly running till lvl 21. Played legitly till 23 (but still use bot to evolve pidgeys). NOT BAN YET

Lvl 26 (GYM DESTROYER): Pure bot, pre ban wave going (100xp/hr). When ban wave hits went human like using Necrobot (5000/5000 delay 4kph). PERMA BANNED
Lvl 11: PURE BLATANT BOT:. Botting in Central park, still not done tutorial, going lvl 1 -28 in a day but ACCOUNT GOT RESET!? back to level 1, bot again till level 11 then stop because of IP BAN. PERMA-BANNED

Both 2 of 3 banned accounts got banned at the same day, only used necrobot from 0.8.6 -> 0.9.0.

This might be true, but I am still unsure since bans are still rolling in.

EDIT: Created another, pokesniper bot, catch flee ban now from lvl 1-22.
