"This GBL exploit needs to be patched by Niantic"

#PokemonGO: Were you ever matched with somebody in GBL, about to start the match and the screen goes white or says error finding a match ?On the Arena subreddit I just discovered that some people carefully watch the match screen and if the opponent’s rating is too low compared the their own, they force-quit the app to cancel the match before it begins:https://ift.tt/3aX2rfn allows them to avoid being matched with trainers rated too much below them and as such avoid losing a lot of points if they lose.Conversely, being matched with higher rated opponents gives the opportunity to earn a lot of points if they win and not lose much if they lose.Basically the ones who use this method can ensure themselves to be matched with higher rated opponents. Apparently this is used a lot around 2’950 points and I think this is an unfair advantage towards the ones who don’t know this technique.I just discovered this trick a couple hours ago and must say that I am now using it. I’m at 2’800 points and think I might have a chance to make it to 3’000 aka rank 10.I made this post for two reasons:1) Make this technique known to other trainers and let them decide if they want to use it.2) Make Niantic aware of this so they can patch this. Because I think it is an unfair advantage.To fix this problem, I suggest that when you are matched with an opponent, as soon as you can see their name and rating, quitting the app should result in a loss.Please upvote this post to give it more visibility.TLDR: If you are matched to an opponent rated too much below you, you can quickly quit the app to cancel the match. via /r/TheSilphRoad https://ift.tt/3b1Z2f2
