How safe is the actual bot ?

[IIIililillll]

Didnt the botting community fall into some sort of trap for that 24-48 hour period and everyone who botted during that period got banned? I have 16 accounts I have botted and the only 2 I lost where used during that period.

Remaining accounts are between level 28-33

To me if Niantic needs to set a trap to catch botters that means botting has never been safer? I mean, if they could just easily know who is botting why wouldent every account that ever botted be banned?

The answer..... because they dont know

Not everyone used the bot during that period. I didnt and all 3 were still banned.

This is my logic. And it has treated me well with HonorBuddy ban-waves.

First thing I did after they said they had updated the code was create a mew account

Will make a few more and space them out over time. See which ones don't get banned.

I think, in an business, which makes money, there must be a bit more safety for the users.
There can't be an answer like this one above!!

Then, take your time for the dev's to be sure, the bot is working without risk and let the people wait like the last times when Pokemon Go gets updated.

Now, thousand of accounts are banned, lot of people are disappointed and no one is shure, if he should use the bot or not any more!!

In my oppinion there should be an statement of those responsible of the Pokefarmer about how safe the ot is actually.

Sorry that i'm a bit angry, but we used the main accounts for a short time between the days of christmas and new year and now these are banned, which we spend a lot of time and kilometers on.

friesendeichkind,

What you are asking for is a foolproof and safe way to break rules, that will never exist. While I understand your frustration, your comments, really shows, that you understand very little into the process of PokeFarmer, how releases and updates are handled or any of the things going on with the devs in the background, which is fine, we don't expect everyone to.

We tend to spend quite a bit of time, taken away from our families, when Niantic drops ninja patches, regardless of the hour, to look over the data, to collect data, and start reverse engineering. We take as many precautions as we can, and extensive testing is done, however, we have limitations. We can test in a close confined area based on how we understand the bot to work safest. However once its passed all of that, we submit it to the public, this means that we have done all the testing we can with safer settings. Once you and the others get your hands on it, there are ALOT of variables.

What none of you have been willing to listen to in the Discord channel, is how this exact same thing happened last time a country was added. Niantic did a wild ban, and hit alot of legit accounts too, just like this time. PF was as safe as it could be then, and is now. Its requests, are sent correctly and it communicates with Niantic servers accordingly. But no one, can perdict, when Niantic starts blanket banning, especially when there is ZERO pattern to the bans. I have personally reviewed most of the ban data, and still each time we think there is a pattern, something comes along to disprove it. Now, I understand if that is hard to believe, but the truth is, there is no pattern, and PF is yet to be detected (especially since there are hundreds of thousands of bot accounts still going strong), I am sorry for the loss of your accounts.

That said, iCKR is right, you should NEVER gamble money you don't have, and you should NEVER bot on an account you are not prepared to loose. PF has time and again offered the safest bot on the market but no bot is 100% safe, and there will ALWAYS be a risk. Keep that in mind, before stating that PF "isn't safe" based on botting terms.
