All the bots broke down. Niantic increasing security? Changing protocols? All bots went down :gusta:

Thought it was an IP ban, so tried using a Google Account on my phone with data, not Wifi. Cant log in there either.

[ThisDude]

I just received 1 account ban other account still up hope i keep it, seems they are into us, first bot been sniping so might have made the different, pretty ****ed up now, lucky my banned account was only lvl 30..

[mugendc4]

Weird.. I can log in all of my Google Accounts and server is not down and play just fine. I think they change something in their API which causing all the bots/sniper to crash.

[bicbootyboi]

The server's are not down, Niantic has updated their API...

[ZomgZippo]

Can still login with my botted account trough google.. so we're not generally ****ed. yay :gusta:

PTC servers are down, not the game servers.

Google accounts are working fine right now,
but the PTC accounts are not.

[mkz14]

All bots are not working, phone clients are, so they just disabled bots somehow

[idant50]

@mralice im using google account and still cant log any bot

[clarkycal]

Niantic made changes to their API that's all, wait for everyone to update it on all their bots and such!

I'mma repost this guys.

1. There is a Visa 30 day window to contest charges, as well as a window of time to request chargebacks through the playstore and iTunes store. Niantic wants to make sure they have cleared all refund windows, and milked cheaters of what they will pay to get ahead of other cheaters (constant eggs, incense purchases, inventory upgrades, etc). Likely you're looking at another 15-30 days minimum just purely looking at the micro-transaction end of things.

Remember Release date 6 July.

2. Cheaters are modifying the way Pokemon appear. If cheaters disappear all in one go, the geographical distribution of how Pokemon appear will become different. Legit players will suffer since less Pokemon will spawn (less players in that area). The whole "I'm legit grinding it out here in the city" is nice and all, but you probably have 100+ spoofers that are making those Pokemon spawn for you.

3. Niantic needs to come up with a number of updates to make the game interesting again. This means changing the way Pokemon spawn and are found, adding new features, balancing, etc. If cheaters are removed from the game, they are taking out a huge base of players that likely won't come back to the game except to try to cheat again. Bad for business. They need the game to stand up on new merits before they do a banwave.

As soon as Niantic starts rolling out some great new features, banwaves are in motion. Trading won't be implemented until banwaves occur. Bots will be bots, banwaves don't get them all, and new stuff pops up, but the 'Warden' will get activated as soon as trading is implemented. Time will tell if they mark Pokemon back to the account that caught them for 'poofing'.

If anything I said ends up being untrue, the game will continue to burn to the ground.
