Do you find that banning spoofers actually makes taking gyms worse? As spoofers get banned they just create all new accounts and start all over. So gyms that their previous trainers had already gotten gold in they now constantly retake.

I mostly play for the gym scene and for shinys so I hate this

I agree with that. theres a spoofer where I live that got banned, most players didnt have a problem with him because he was easy enough to defeat and most of the area was mystic, so they appreciated having an easier time not needing to take gyms often(not like they need help taking them), but instinct and valor had enough after a while, and he did get banned, but then came back a lot more aggressive, three new spoofer accounts, likely made to spite everyone

im not saying dont report spoofers, you should report them, ive known a spoofers who got banned, and after that went straight

I like when spoofers try to take gyms. When they get banned, and start new accounts they never have enough revives to last through a maxed Blissey after using Golden’s. And the gyms are easy to take back. Let them get banned again, and again. They will eventually run out of fake email addresses they keep making.

I don’t understand for the life of me why people spoof. I have played in a rural region with barely a gym around, and just caught Pokémon. Then when I wanted to try a legendary, I would drive to the city. Put effort into it. Don’t be lazy. Don’t be a follower and use someone else’s hacking app to spoof. Be a leader and go out and build a solid account that you can trio a legendary with. This isn’t Super Mario that is meant to be maxed out and beaten in a week. This is a game with a 20 year future. Even Skyrim can’t touch that. If you think otherwise, play another game and stop ruining it for others.

Skyrim has 10 years behind it already, I don't think Pogo can compare until we actually see it survive to 10 years. Personally I don't think Pogo's current business model is sustainable for that long.

Spoofers will never completely die because there are some spoofers who give money to Niantic (by buying shit in the store). So don't be sure it will be better than it is now (or worse).

And no, in my area a lot of people got banned from what I saw. Actually seeing less gym take-downs. My Pokemon usually last longer in the gyms than they were a month ago.
