"Gaming Addiction, Multi Accounting and Spoofing"
#PokemonGO: I know this thread will be buried by the mountains of events news and discussion here but I sincerely hope this discussion of the state of the game on multi accounting, spoofing, gameplay problems stays as it is so important for the community to further the game. The silphroad & pokemongoon reddit has ; like it or not become the single biggest voice for the pokemon go community. If we keep lying to ourselves everything is find this game and just keep the herd mentality, this game will not last. This post was originally posted on silphroad which they directed me here instead as deem more suitable. I play the game in Singapore and it is not a fun time unless to ignore all these problems.Multi Accounting, NN has not come out to enforce the TOS on multi accounting. This has created a MONSTER of a problem in my playing community. I been play since day 1 of the game. And the problem of Gym Shaving (using a alternate color account to kick out one pokemon or two to slot in your pokemon of the same team colour occupying the gym) , Pokemon Gym Blocking (while attacking a gym, once a pokemon is kicked out, you try to slot in a weak pokemon to prevent other from slotting in to strengthen the gym). The idea of multi account help to bring down raid boss is truly just a reason we invented to let ourselves continue. If we truly have a problem constantly on raid boss, won’t that trigger NN to start developing an improvement to the game? I believe the constant tolerance to these problems is preventing the improvement and advancement to the gameplay.An AR game and with real world problems. Gaming addiction, I raid often as I have a flexible schedule, thus I meet a lot of people who have nothing, but their life is Pokemon Go, they raid and gym and catch. That is their life and only life. It is very clear after meeting so many people, the point of the game was lost, as there is no actual point of the game. Pokemon Go has no end point, it is a constant chase, a normal human adapts his life for the game, but a person addict to the game sees the game as his life. People who come and scold you for taking “his” gym, overly unnecessary msgs on your group chats are signs of addiction. I ask you not open the game for 1 or 2 days, can you? So what if you lose the daily streak or not catch that pokemon? Does it affect your standing in game? No, it does not, you happily can continue playing after a few days away and nothing bad will happen. You are addicted. Dear NN, please come out and talk about this, I know you have tons of aggressive behaviour reports, do you know why they are coming? No, they are not crazy people playing your game but nice people addicted to your game.Spoofing, the problem is that the 3 strike policy has not made an impact to improve gameplay for actual active players. We still see the same group of people since day 1 (yes, the old gym days) actively taking gyms and they are getting very coordinated with spoofing groups taking gyms together.Dear NN, please consider binding account to phone like a msging app for a solution and allocated more resource to combat spoofing. Please come out to talk about the mental health of people playing the game. The gameplay needs some rework soon, as you cannot create events after events, it is getting stale regardless of what your server numbers tell you. If you have 20 people playing on your server, the actual people playing is less than half that amount, the rest are spoofers and multi acc and bots. You have given out 250,000 tickets, for a festival but less than half of that are actual players. In my community chat of players of 80, 196 tickets were issued and actual players going is 32 people. You see the problem….I hope this passes on and positive impact and discussion can follow. Take care all via /r/pokemongo http://bit.ly/2UqEKUr
