Are PTC accounts second class citizens?

It seems every time there is a major event we can't login. People with google accounts can catch the dratini or larvitar Niantec let out by accident.
This time, I am going to be really pissed, if I can't login before gyms reopen, again. Finding the gyms all full from spoofers with google accounts will be really discouraging.

Indeed my friend. Haven't been able to login for about 5 hours so far. I missed a ton of pokestops on my way back home cos of this, one day to end the event.
I'm pretty pissed

I have a google account and have never caught one of those 'mistakenly released' larvitars or dratinis.

Also they seem to be adding allot of new gyms around....hopefully it will make up for the 6 per gym limit and mean its not overly competitive to just find an available gym slot.

Can you switch to a Google account?

Not, if I don't want to start over. There's no way to link to my PTC account.

Sorry, that's unfair. It seems you have far more trouble than we do (Google accounts are not without problems, but we're never locked out for such a long time).

Holly crap, yes! I was repeatedly trying to log in before I had work today. I am now then trying to after work. I tried restarting my phone and uninstalling​ the app and now it is just saying "unable to authenticate".

Why is this still an issue

Think of it this way: the login system is a bus, and PTC accounts are at the back of it.

PTC is down? Is the outage region based ? I've had no problem logging into my PTC all day today.

I am PTS and I am out the game for about 18 hours. I am not happy as I tried to level up with incenses I bought. Is there going to be an extension due the not working servers? ... someone in the same boat?
