Mystic 0 - Instinct 100...time to reroll
History why i have 2 accounts (skip if not interested)
My city has been always ruled by instinct (some of them were spoofers) Reported these known players and they never got banned. Realized the situation, this war is lost and made instinct account to leech coins AT LEAST for lures.1-2 month ago i started sniping(not spoofing) stagnant gyms with gymhuntr site and started shaving spots for my pokemons in other city that i visited.
Also stopped playing my instinct account cus i didnt need it anymore. (its level 28)
Anyways, now ugly truth hits the face.
- Gym shaving is out of picture, no matter if i can rarely visit some other city.
- and in my city instinct is now pushing gyms full of pokemons cus they dont need to prestige gyms up anymore.
It will take time and resources for me to fight this situation alone.
This is kind of sad but also i call myself extremely lucky person when i realized this situation so so long time ago.
War is finally over and instinct has won. tears
Level 36 mystic signing out.
Level 28 instinct signing in.

Actually i decided i stop playing this game, im not gona even continue with team instinct.
I live in dense pokemon area, so i can always collect rare pokemons outside, but i have no interest on gyms or anything else in this game.
So i will just keep my accounts and play very very casually and ignore all gym activities.
I don't think cheating is ever the answer to cheating, though I do apologize. Before this update, I was plagued by a few Bots and an overwhelming amount of legit players, which I would prefer over being smothered by bots, but still made it both impossible to hold a gym for long enough to get 20 coins per day. ( was also somewhat bummed no Valor members were battling, much less other instinct)But I never used any cheating, nor any shady tactics, and I haven't seen any of the accounts I knew to be cheating since the update, and only a few of the legit Mystic players. Hoping all the teams will return and participate fairly again, not resort to cheating.
I will just quit this game.
Well, i will quit gyms and hatching eggs.
I will only focus collecting rare pokemons outside my house, i live in dense pokemon area.
First i felt i wanna continue with yellow but now ifeel this game has come to an end.
Edited: Niantic plays important role against cheating, when i see cheaters dont get banned it is not motivating.
Shavers definatly dont get banned.
This only encourages others to shave also.
But i never spoofed, even i encountered spoofers.
I think spoofing is something niantic should immediatly give permanent ban.
