Guys, relax about getting banned

[Komax]

First of all, sorry for my not world best english and my german proverbs, deal with it...

First of all, to detect a Bot is a ton of work, otherwise we would be all banned so far with a lot of ban waves..
If I scroll down the Forum, its like everyone is posting, he is banned, just for unable to connect to the servers or whatever.
We all know Pokemon Go is atm not the best in case of Servers and a simple restart of the Bot usually helps a lot.
I am botting like 12 to 14 hours a day. My main acc is 33, close to 34, second acc is 28 and my last acc is very low, only 24 so far.
And guess what: I give a shit about getting banned so my Pokefarmer Setup is: 50km/h driving speed, Random Through accuracy, and I am farming atm in Central Park.
And believe me or not, i didnt have one single Ban or other issue so far, just by not teleporting from City to City, because thats kinda really easy to detect, well, driving in Centrel Park too but wayne haha

I know the Ban waves are coming but so far, the chances getting Banned are pritty low if you understand something about botting I think but keep in mind that they are flagging detected acc yet!!

I havent seen one trusted Ban so far, just because they arent here so far I think, or are they? I dont wanna say something wrong...

But long text, short meaning, as long as you dont get a email or a message in your mobile device App, which tells you, you are banned or whatever, you dont have to spam or discuss about getting a ban

Thanks for you for your attention and while writing this i got lvl 34 on my main

Thank you, Komax. The community panic is an overreaction. And your English is near perfect

So I can using driving speed now instead of jogging speed?

I've been using driving speed 24/7 (near my home) for practically a week nonstop. No ban, no soft bans, nothing.

That said, this is anecdotal so be as cautious as you want to be. I don't personally think they're flagging driving speed (though they might soon). I think they're flagging teleports (soft bans), odd locations (Swedish IP in Central Park New York for example), sniping, and other suspicious behavior.

Its up to you. Me and all the others just can tell you, we aren't banned SO FAR (!!) We dont know if we are already flagged as "cheater/botter" and get a Ban soon.
I am aiming for fast XP/h and hitting lvl 40 as fast as possible.
If you want to hold your Acc I dont advise you to do that, because the XP boost is not worth to risk your acc

Addendum: If you are scared about driving speed, you can choose Ride a Bike as well, but keep in mind your Eggs wount be hatching i think but thats the smallest problem

IMHO, dont think they can ban people based on "speed" cause the very fact there are legit people driving around to catch pokemon.

Afterall botting has its own risk, go big or go home!

Agreed. On my legit account (never botted, only played on mobile) I often travel 115-120 km/hr with the app open because I'm going from city to city. I suspect many legitimate players travel similar speeds, or at least ~80km/hr, while playing the game. That said, I always completely stop to take a gym/pokestop/pokemon but regardless they would have thousands, if not millions, of false positives by flagging speeds. My friend (plays legit) opened her app on a plane yesterday because she didn't know about soft bans or any of that shit. That's several hundred km/hr and I doubt she's the only person to ever do it.

Yeah, all these panic attacks are making it hard for me to sort out the useful information on this forum.

Been botting two accounts pretty hard these past days and they both got hit with soft bans this evening (pokemons are fleeing in both bot and NOX). I've labeled the accounts as compromised for now and started new accounts, no biggie really, since they were only level 25-26. The good news is that only the accounts were affected by this so my IPs are still good.

Totally agree. Eggs actually hatch though at driving speed, albeit slowly. I assume the bot decelerates or takes a non-linear path at certain points because I've been hatching 10 eggs a day on driving speed.
