"[IDEA] Verifiable phone number to play Pokemon Go"


#PokemonGO: Pokemon go's one of the main problems are the use of bots and multiaccounting which can lead to extreme unfair advantage for these people while the legitimate players are suffering with no answers against the gyms.Having 3 accounts (fighting gyms/training gyms) can significantly reduce difficulty in gym battling as even blissey will die in less than 30 seconds with proper attackers and yet legit players have to sit and fight 3 gyms while the 3 accounts can just take the gym back in less than 10 seconds. Literally unfair. Unless you constantly go out with a group of 3 but having multiple accounts makes it easier because they do not need to call friends for gym raids.Another issue is bots. They do not need human activity to progress as all the user does is hit 1 button and watch their accounts filled with rare pokemon and level 40s. Also they dont need to do anything, they can just take down gyms and use exploit methods (bubblestrat) to train to 10 and use their multi accounts to fill them in greatly destroying gym gameplay.A way to somewhat solve the solution is niantic should implement verifiable phone numbers which checks the identity of who is playing the game.With a verifiable phone number, this cuts down alot of multiaccounting and botting signifcantly. As accounts are getting banned, new accounts can be made easily. however if a account that has their phone number banned, they cannot simply make another account. It needs a different phone number which can screw bots/multi accounts over .Multi accounters will somewhat reduce until 3 as long they use their family members phone number. But as long as niantic reads report seriously and start banning users, getting rid of botting/multi account will become easy.A phone number can be changed but the phone number that was changed cannot be used against for a few months preventing abuse.Phone numbers that are virtual are forbidden and cannot be used.Also pokemon go is meant to be played on the phone which means that verifiable phone number is super effective as an idea.This is very useful against bots. It will cut down botting for sure. As accounts get banned they have no phone numbers left they can use. phone numbers banned can be use again after many months later. They can change the phone number but i doubt they will let them constantly change phone numbers. via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2pCqxI5
