[Official] Current Situation, Looting, Fleeing & IDLE

After changing my IP through a VPN at 11:35pm my account was again softbanned via no items at the pokestops/restricted message at 3:40am. I was at jogging speeds and in the same spot the whole time. I have again altered my IP address and reduced my speed to walking. Hopefully this will make a difference.

 

Before I could not cautch pokemons because all fled now I have Failed to get game data from the server ...

 

Do enough soft bans lead to a hard ban?

 

I would assume so yes. Its one of the things I'm testing with this account. I am also trying to narrow down what it is that keeps getting me softbanned by changing settings within the bot. Its frustrating when I've kept a pretty low profile when botting and am still getting all kinds of soft banned yet people that are doing everything you're not supposed to do are still up and running without any kind of ban yet. Guess that's the nature of the ban wave.

 

Before I could not cautch pokemons because all fled now I have a bot running smoothly with no problems at all.

It's not black and white. Point is that we just don't know what's going on. Everyone is guessing and yelling "ban" and then in a few hours everything works smooth because it was just a server problem.

 

I strongly believe it has to do with your travel speed.

When using an emulator PoGo sends an alert that you are going to fast and you have to click "I'm a passenger" to continue.

As of now the bot doesn't either see or know what to do with that so it continues, hence the ban.

I've been running the bot at walking speed and had ZERO issues. Of course will takes forever to level up and farm but better safe then sorry until the DEVs come up with a fix

 

No one knows since Niantic hasn't told anything yet.

 

I agree with you.

 

I think the ban issue is mainly for accounts who used Pokesniper.

I have 3 accounts + 1 girlfriends account

1. Main Account, lvl 33, placed in 3 gyms, bot setting in my local area, speed not more then 50km/h - banned -> sniped with pokesniper
2. Side Account, lvl 35, no gym, bot setting in pier 39 not more then 50km/h - banned -> sniped with pokesniper
3. Side Account, lvl 34, no gym, bot setting in pier 39 not more then 50km/h - NOT banned -> no sniper used

Girfriends account: lvl 21, no gym, no bots, only real playing - BANNED -> but used pokesniper 2 times to get a dragonite for her

 

My wife and I both have a Pokemon Go account, both botting, both sniping.
Hers doesn't do anything anymore. Mine works perfect after the flee-ban.

 

Kek, she flip out yet? This is exactly why i didnt let mine bot when she saw me botting & emulating asking me how to do it.

 

yes, I have asked this question earlier, did you guys who got what ever banned used pokesniper2 and alot of them said no, so i was confused

 

I feel sorry for her as she put a lot of time into it and played honest. I dont care about my accs. I wonder why she got banned.. maybe cuz she used the same WIFI IP like my banned accs at home?

 

Possibly, did she got released yet? Or still banned?

 

how long will I have to wait ?

 

When will it be safe to use the bot?

 

still banned

 

It's been over 24 hours for me and I still can't log in. I think that account is done.

My second account got a classic softban last night while I was spoofing. I just said fuck it and went to bed, just woke up and that account is working in the bot I shall rebuild.

 

How were you using pokesniper? Manual or auto?

 

I can confirm I've had this error for 24hrs
