It'll be interesting to see a Waymo or Tesla FSD follow the path of a few Pokémon Go spoofers through buildings or directly across a field.
Not sure how they'll manage the straight up teleportation I used to do. Live rural, definitely went to the beach 100km away daily lmao.
The modern day spoofing apps are really quite impressive. Teleportation or time travelling generally gets you an account strike fairly quickly, but some of the cleverer automatic walking functions are really quite cool.
I got sick of being careful and definitely got banned, but it wasn't hard to fake well as long as you are patient
Yeah, a bit of sense is all you need. I've not used spoofing tools but a few of my friends have - we live rural too and it revolutionises the game. Even our local small city centre isn't really raid friendly - it's not like you can hang a out Times Square and literally walk into a full raid whenever you like.
That said, the weekly Pokémon Club in rural areas is a great social, and mons tend to stay in gyms for more than twelve seconds making it a bit easier to get pokecoins. The game is still heavily skewed towards city centres though.
