Possible to make Sniping "safer" and more "realistic"

[NexLegend]

Seems silly to ask sniping to be safer and more realistic.

I really do think that sniping is what is causing the major ban flags to be raised. ( You can read my thoughts on this in a thread I made that was closed here (My thoughts on recent ban waves))



I am not a skilled enough programmer to do this or even begin to imagine how to do it. But would it be possible to make sniping a little safer and realistic?

I assume the current method is teleportation snipe and teleport back or something similar. To me, that is a big red flag and Im sure that Niantic has a way to document where you caught a pokemon and where you are usually playing. Compare the coordinates/locations and its pretty obvious that you teleported.


I have no clue. Anyone got any ideas? I feel like im on to something, but if i am way off someone please tell me :confused:

necrobot shows that when a poke capture occurs, it records the distance between you and the pokemon at the time

and my guess is that each pokemon spawn instance has coords as one of its attributes

so when the capture transaction is sent to the server, it must have either the coords of both you and the pokemon, or the distance value (likely this one since less computation needs to be done on the server side)

so to make it safe, bot needs to spoof the coords of the pokemon, or spoof the distance value

Yeha thats what I was thinking too. Something in sniping isn't safe. I'd be willing to test theories but not worth my time getting accounts banned if no dev will want to tackle this problem. ITs mostly up to maclone or neer though. Since neer is the original sniper creator, and maclone just updates it, one of them two must have some sort of clue.
