Does speed influence?

[monstaz]

Im currently running on walk mode, but i want to put on driving mode, does it influences to get a ban? Im running the bot in my city. And its safe to snipe manually after i shutdown the bot?

There are a couple parts to answer your question.

First the option is there and it seems to be as safe as anything at this point as long as it is used correctly and with pokefarmer only (using the option in other bots would not be a good option *in my opinion* due to the lack of security precautions VS those in PokeFarmer that are now implemented and will continue to be based on what their findings are). There is nothing to honestly say driving speed will ban you faster, although there are theories and if it becomes *Fact* then bossland and team will remove the option from pokefarmer as it would be counter productive to their own bot, user base and financials.

The second part is that it is highly unlikely that anyone would drive consistently at a speed or in their car for long periods of time to pokestops and catch pokemon on the way.

Pretty much without all of us knowing as much as bossland and team (and they are still getting a handle on everything as well, since these changes are all new) there are some that are going in to a "panic" state and also being cautious by trying to emulate human behavior as much as possible including walking VS driving. Other theories include but are not limited to humanizing the walking on streets vs buildings, water etc..., altitude, setting up and mimicking their own walking patterns or drive patterns during their daily lives. You will start seeing all kinds of future requests to add in to pokefarmer from people that are just paranoid and grasping at straws because they just do not know (like some devs) what is truly happening. This then leads to all kinds of crazy reddit posts, etc... that some take as gospel although it is just a theory.

So to answer your question, it is up to you and the risk your willing to take since no one can honestly 100% tell you that it is worse. My outlook is to make accounts, bot and not being paranoid or worrying. Just enjoy botting. Botting Pokémon Go is definitely cheaper and easier than World of Warcraft!

Thank you for your reply! I will make other accounts and study them, using walk speed, driving speed and other things, asap i will post my results here, today i created an account and botted a little, after that i start sniping lots of pokemon with pokesniper, if i get banned i will post here, and one more time, thank you for the reply!

You are very welcome and I wish you the best and look forward to hearing your experiences.

My personal opinion (and please take it as such) is very contrary to the views of many, but I don't think any normal-ish (ie; driving) speed influences bans. I know of people who have taken cross country/continent trips often travelling about 100km/hr playing totally legit for extended periods of time.

IMO, flagging accounts based on speed (unless you're moving like fighter jet or something) would trigger too many false positives.

I've only ever used driving speed and have not been banned. That said, this is purely anecdotal and you should play it as safe as you're comfortable doing

Hope this helps GL

It's really hard to say whether or not speed increases the risk.
I know depending on the area I was in I would adjust the speed.
If I was in a city I'd be driving speed. In a park I switched to jogging or walking because in reality who would be moving around a park at 50kmh lol.

I still got banned even though I did that lol so it's hard to say.

I understand the concern of yours, im running pokefarmer 1-2 hours per day, still normal, and im running an necrobot with 50 KPH 3-4 hours a day, lvl 19 and still normal, got only one softban because i stopped botting and logged in my pokego acc by mistake in my device
