Hey everyone your fellow doomed IDLER here after many hours of sitting on IDLE and multiple hours of researching to give you the best tips to avoid IDLE. Now a lot of the IDLE symptoms are simply because you REALLY are getting Soft banned. This soft ban being different from the soft ban you've received in the past as where the old one just made pokes flee and pokestops rendered useless until 40 spins or w/e. Now this new softban actually removes Pokestops+Pokemon not giving us a chance to even remove said soft ban. This also explains why our bots get stuck in the infinite loop of trying to get an item without actually ever receiving one and then when we relog it puts us in IDLE. IDLE is just pokefarmer telling us it can't find anything to run to so it does nothing. Now none of this is concrete but from what i've noticed the softban seems to happen on the driving Speed the most, (still happens on other speeds just way less) Earlier I was idled maybe 4/5 times in a row using same setting and then logging on to phone to clarify that I had been new softbanned and I REALLY couldnt see anything but the map no pokestops no pokemon. Though after learning the cause was because of the new softban I decided to try to figure out how I could extend the life of the bot and try not to receive said soft ban. So I tested it by firstly changing my walking speed from driving to biking. BIG DIFFERENCE now it hasn't been tested lengthfully but the bot has been running 5/6 times longer than it would on driving before IDLING (yet to idle). Though like I said this just lowers the rate of receiving the new softban because I have read a post the other day claiming something similar and the user still receiving the soft ban be it much longer than he wouldve gotten via the other walking speed. As I am still typing this both bots are still running smoothly far surpassing the run time of the 4/5 idles I received earlier. Perhaps the bot is being detected through the manner of how its running around I honestly am not sure though lowering the walking speed for me at least has increased the bots lifetime considerably. EDIT A word of caution though another detection method they seem to have been using is them being able to detect when you're running multiple bots at the same time so youd have to experiment and see what works best and how many can run without hitting the IDLE soft ban So far ive been running two bots side by side with no problems yet I will continue to update through-out the day to anyone interested. ### CURRENT CONSIDERED TRIGGERS ### Logging in with 3 or more Bot's on one pc Doing mass transfers/Mass Evolves Moving at to fast of a speed consistently (the constant speed part could be a trigger initself (Like oh you went from a standing position to moving 50mph instantly to another spot and then stopped instantly and started instantly at 50mph) Thought I can't see the code so I don't know if the speed fluctuates when the bot it moving.
smalll update+ 400+ pokes later on each client for my bots and no idle. This is a lot better than 10-30 minute run times and getting idled
i got this too on my home network, 4 accounts account A running pokefarmer on PC A account B sniping on PC A Account C running NeXXXbot*censored on PC B account D playing normally with handphone by my wife FYi account C is newly created and first time using the NeXXXbot. suddenly about 1 to 2 hour when i was manually sniping. Account A,B,C got error and when i reopen my pokeframer/accountC i got the IDLE, close pokefarmer. log in manual B using a rooted phone with fakegps to the bot location, "nothing on map-no pokestop, no gym, no pokemon" . tried a few time. same. happen on all 3 (A,B,C) suspect IP Ban but my wife is still playing happy on her phone doing lucky egg mass evolve. Retrying b on phone, disable wifi, tried on mobile network. Map- return to normal with pokestop, gym, pokemon. restart router, (refresh IP). All account went back to normal. account B running pokefarmer on PC A for 7 hours with no idle now (while i sleep)
Sounds good! Keep up the hunting buddy gl A word of caution though another detection method they seem to have been using is them being able to detect when you're running multiple bots at the same time so youd have to experiment and see what works best and how many can run without hitting the IDLE soft ban, for me 2 at a time has caused no problems as of yet but I will keep this thread updated.
I can confirm that 2 bots at a time is the magic number. I tried 3 and get idle / softbanned quick. Also something else to test and perhaps someone can confirm, is when I do massive evolves of pokemon's (100-200) from within the bot I'll usually see a softban very soon after they are evolved and transferred.
Hmm this is very interesting, this could aswell be another one of there detection method to cause the new soft ban. if we could figure out all the triggers that are causing the softbans we could make it so the bot is undetectable to the softbans as long as the developers are willing to fix every softban trigger aswell as we are able to find every softban trigger.
