Ban wave coming

Open avexus opened this issue 8 years ago • 37 comments

Edit By Moderator, PokemonGoZ


** The ban wave targeted accounts that were using v0.35 API calls, while in the main app have already pushed a force update. On 9/30/16 PokemonGo banned 80% of the accounts that were still running the v0.35 API calls. This bot uses the v0.35 API calls. In order to use the v0.39 API calls, we need to have a cracked unknown6. Thank you for your time everyone. **

yep i have 2 ban accounts now

aaronluna18 avatar Sep 30 '16 18:09 aaronluna18

Sorry to hear that

avexus avatar Sep 30 '16 20:09 avexus

I would say it's safe to not bot for a while. They have a way to flag which accounts uses bot / sniper. It's for them to decide when to ban.

avexus avatar Sep 30 '16 20:09 avexus

Do you have random pause active?

marcotini avatar Sep 30 '16 22:09 marcotini

Why?

avexus avatar Sep 30 '16 23:09 avexus

Your 2 accounts that got banned, they snipe?

MerlionRock avatar Oct 01 '16 00:10 MerlionRock

First/only account, level 26, have sniped allover the world, still able to login - origin UK.

@marcotini why does random pause matter?

avexus avatar Oct 01 '16 09:10 avexus

Do they currently detect that we play with an IP address which is not from the country where the bot is playing ?

Fanlabiz avatar Oct 01 '16 09:10 Fanlabiz

@Fanlabiz I'd say that almost for sure!!

iruy avatar Oct 01 '16 10:10 iruy

@MerlionRock YES in both I used the snipe! but I have 3 accounts working fine just one of that 3 I used snipe.

aaronluna18 avatar Oct 01 '16 10:10 aaronluna18

@avexus it's matter because they can not ban somethings that do things at random. If you abuse it's obvious that ban is coming. Try to make more real than possibile. If you have a wrong config file, the ban is on their way.

anyone from the UK had a bot banned?

Paradoxum avatar Oct 01 '16 20:10 Paradoxum

I am UK based and use the bot, will hold off for the time being (well might setup a brand new account to see if it gets banned), I don't know if it helps I mix up logging on through the app and though the bot which is keeping me off Niantic radar. Its a shame as starting to use the bot more of an "admin" tool rather than levelling, I still like the excitement of actually playing the game and catching things, but use the bot to sort and transfer the lower grade ones and auto evolve the higher spec based on rules etc.

I think of it more as a mod (used to playing WOW etc where mods are accepted and even encouraged as it enhances game play) than a cheat, I had a "bot" account that I levelled up very quickly, and have all four region exclusives on the same account (gimme a shout if you need co-ordinates) but had no affinity to the Pokemon, where as I know where I was when my Snorlax hatched, or where I caught the last Magikarp needed to evolve my Gyarados

I guess by using the simple act of using API that causes the risk of the ban, not the actions that are under taken

I know what you mean. I have stopped actually botting with it and just using it to check the IV/CP/IVCP of my pokemon without having to run each one through a calculator individually etc..

How do you check if your repo is on v0.39 API or v0.35 API?

bsjpark avatar Oct 03 '16 22:10 bsjpark

No repos are in 0.39 because the API is not cracked as of yet. @bsjpark

ShadyBS avatar Oct 04 '16 16:10 ShadyBS

It's not cracked since 0.37 API By the time they crack it, Niantic will most likely come out something different again... Not looking good for botting community...

MerlionRock avatar Oct 05 '16 02:10 MerlionRock

Sounds like safe thing to do is not to bot. What a sad day.

bsjpark avatar Oct 05 '16 03:10 bsjpark

3 of my active bot accounts used this bot and 0.35 api. Even botted for 3 hours today. They all survived, for now. Will see what happens. I think they will catch me.

avexus avatar Oct 05 '16 03:10 avexus

@avexus I think it's a trap. To create enough buffer time to distingue who's using their latest app and who's not.

MerlionRock avatar Oct 05 '16 04:10 MerlionRock

@MerlionRock I think so too. That's why ban comes in waves. They accumulate enough data. Then, turn on one parameter in their conf file {set ban="true"}, then run their bot.

avexus avatar Oct 05 '16 04:10 avexus

So, they are botting too :)

iruy avatar Oct 05 '16 08:10 iruy

Surely older versions of the actual game will still run the older API (in the case where people have not updated it). It would seem a little odd to ban users on the basis of the API being used to interface into PG on that basis alone..?

ravey-davey avatar Oct 05 '16 13:10 ravey-davey

@ravey-davey they are forcing all to use latest version. You can't play with older version of the app.

MerlionRock avatar Oct 05 '16 14:10 MerlionRock

Botters in Sweden, hold your breath! The ban has just started, two bots of mine were banned before few minutes o_O

ProZer0 avatar Oct 05 '16 18:10 ProZer0

Just today my level 28 account wasn't working on the bot (would log in but couldn't get any data) I logged in on my phone and got a crazy notification ,"We have detected signals from your account that suggests you are using third party applications or modified software typically associated with cheating. Please be aware..." (It's longer than that but that is thegist of it) had been botting locally for about six hours today.

sullydog101 avatar Oct 05 '16 23:10 sullydog101

Made me do a captcha too

sullydog101 avatar Oct 05 '16 23:10 sullydog101

Wow they hard flagged my account... The same message pops up every time I log in with it now, but not on my other account that I haven't botted with in a few days. Still, the message is better than being permabanned
