What can niantic do to stop us botting?

[NexLegend]

Here what they can do...
Change the encryption/ obfuscate the api again.

Worked for around 3 days before developers cracked it.
Im sure it would work again.


Easiest way to stop botters:
Add captcha LOL.

This is not true sir! I have botted many cellphone games undetected for year. We just need to develop them correctly.

We can take the aspects from other safely botted games which have gone under the radar for years, like the Clash of Clans bot which actually use an emulator, and swipes, taps, ect. We need a bot, that actually plays the game, like a human.

Developers are focusing on too many irrelevant things, like throttling calls, walk speeds ect. The API bots are simply detected. Config it all you want. I have had, a non API bot, running 24/7 for 1 week now. Not even one single temp ban. (EDIT: And it's probably exceeding 2000 pokestops and 1000 pokemon...)

I'll release it in a few weeks. Let me build up some more confidence lol!

Playing 24/7 is already a clear sign giveaway you are hacking. You are so lucky.

Captcha added in the form of "YOU'RE MOVING TOO FAST WHICH MEANS YOUR IN A CAR, OR ARE YOU A PASSENGER?"

Bot doesnt click "I'm a passanger". X time limit with this message displayed blacklists account for further evaluation

Gotcha

You are so very wrong that I will have to explain some things to you.

It was discovered several weeks back that Niantic is able to tell what you are playing the game from, even if you are playing from a rooted/ jailbroken device and their detection methods can only improve from there.

Surely, botmakers can improve their products and eventually bypass these checks, but Niantic can always change things, no matter how hard botmakers try, they will always be one step behind, Niantic will have more resources and in the end they will be forced to give up.

And even if someone, somehow manages to create a bot that Niantic is unable to detect, they can just sue the botmaker and get done with it. Just because you got lucky and are not banned yet, it doesn't mean that you are not already flagged and the only reason Pokemon GO bots existed this long is because Niantic allowed it.
