Banned(ran bot for about 15hours) (information)

[eightbitpanda]

Created a second account to test how long it could go 100% catch rate woke up saw that the pokestop softban work around wont work to become unbanned. So right now I am going to wait it out and see if that will work. Just a informative post not to worried about it.

Yeah I dont know what's going on. My main account cannot connect, it says something like cant find player info.
My seconde account is like perma soft ban, the bot is spinning a pokestop for hours without unbanning me.
And my third account is working perfectly fine...

My advice to people is to just hold off on botting till more info is found out. If you actually want to keep the account you are botting with. I know I was able to snipe some Lapras' and Dragonites using NOX with no ban. But, gonna hold off on running pokefarmer.

Anyone know anyhting about The Inventory bug?
I mean the bot keeps saying "Download of player inventory failed"..

Can anyone show some evidence that they were actually banned? Not being able to connect or load player info doesn't mean you were banned. Show me an e-mail from Niantic or a screen shot saying your account was flagged for botting. Until then please calm your tits.

Im using my bot since this morning, still works great. VPN set to California, currently farming in Santa Monica, works like a charm :/

I have not seen any evidence about being banned other than the speculation on this and many other forums. I have decided to wait it out. If I am still banned from the servers after a few days (data/inventory/overwhelmed errors) then I will send a request via game support.

I guess the reasons why Niantic haven't officially ban those unplayable accounts is because of 1) Too much accounts to handle 2) Dragging out the time so as to make those accounts harder to activate the refund criteria.(Substantial amount of funds lost if perma ban right away)
I got the feeling that they are going to drag it out for around a week and then officially permanently ban most botters.

Ya I think the same thing also. One of my accounts had been running for a couple days at max speed and just started to get hung up with softbans and pokemon fleeing when attempting to catch them, but can spin pokestops for items and xp. So be wise for a bit about botting and let Niantic calm their tits.

I have multiple 30+ accounts still functioning.

- Walking Speed
- Take random breaks at pokestops
- Bot for realistic amounts of time. No more than 8 hours consecutive per day.
- Anticipate a ban, Alternate bot accounts periodically, I alternate every 2 weeks.
- Do not use similar Email or Usernames. Joey1, Joey2, Joey3, ETC.
- Do not use a similar email or username as your pokemongo character on a botting/cheating community or website.
- Pick a Town/City and stay there, If you travel disconnect the account for a reasonable amount of time.
- Do not run multiple accounts from the same IP.

At this point it is looking like the Speed is the main factor, With the new "Going to Fast" Bull crap. My theory is that when this pops up the bot ignores it and still catches pokemon and hits pokestops. The game knows the message is still apparent and can see your account is still progressing when it should be impossible. This may not be the only reason but it sure seems like it is at least one of them.

 

[Ravedy]

Yes. I also have a feeling that its the speed and the bot ignore this msg. I hope HatchingEgg and the other devs are finding out about this and make a propher update now

 

[Punisher0836]

I guess you guys haven’t realize this yet but Niantic is not going to come straight out and say "YOU BEEN BANNED" or even you a screen saying your banned DUH!!! So for you to constantly keep asking for proof is counterproductive.....

Tired of people saying that they dont think that game server message isnt a ban cause it is staright up and if you dont believe then send in a request to have the issue dealt with and you will get what i did above...a response that is very clear.
