In last two days I had couple of accounts banned, I think 26 and 29 level. My main 32 level 2 months old account (and few others) is so far alive. Botting maybe 75 000 stardust daily on it . Funny thing is, that from my home I can see 5 gyms and pokemons from banned account are still sitting there. At least, I think account is banned, if I can not access it.. And to be honest, I'll be happy, if ALL my accounts will be banned. Such a waste of time.
Even if PF is playing instead of me, there is quite a lot of time spended around pokemon accounts every day. Checking for shiny magikarps, powering, evolving, starting/ stopping of bot, gym battling, manual deleting of useles pokemons, staring on top CP pokemons Definitly few hours around pokemons spended every day.
So far just 4 of 8 banned here. I think I am going suicide way for the last 4 . Going to put Kangaskhans, Tauros snd Farfetche'ds to the gyms here in my UK town, because never seen them before in local gym. And I will bot 24/7, not opening new accounts. Btw, I was not just botting, I also spend lot of fuel, time and some money on PG.
Getting banned sucks, put in a month of botting against other botters, why the hell are they not banned?! I was only level 31 and the ones out there are high 30s!
I think 2 of 4 banned accounts are working again here. Unfortunately this 2 accounts are not so important for me.
