Speed issues
Am I alone in thinking that Niantic have shot themselves in the foot and we are not going to receive any viable workable game.
It seems all these changes in recent game-time are simply Niantic considered methods to prevent 'botters' from any significant gain. If so does it mean Niantic cannot prevent 'botters' so are restricting access to pokestops and pokemon, etc which means making normal players pay the price instead of 'botters'?

I think the speed pokestop issue was to prevent lawsuits. In such a litigious society as America, I highly doubt botters were the reason for any of the speed restrictions. They want to come off as we did all we can to prevent people playing at all when driving (moving fast) in a car...
Nothing to do with botters IMO at all. In America, you spill hot coffee on yourself with hot coffee warnings, you sue, win millions...
Just because I always have to reply to this:
The coffee was hot enough to give the woman third degree burns. And she was not the first victim. There are a lot of frivolous law suits, and McDonalds hot coffee is a common go-to example usually given with a hearty laugh, except that it was not one of them.
If your reply to this is anything but "aaeeeshh! Third degree burns?", then do a google image search for "hot coffee burns".
