I play pokemon go to try to relax but its becoming harder. I am finding it harder and harder to play it. Why? Cheaters. Im playing by the rules but in the last 3-4 months in particular i have run into no less than 30 accounts that are gps spoofing, time spoofing (placing pokemon into gyms while i have battle winner priority or during the 10 minute battle lock out or feeding more candies to a pokemon than is permitted), running shared accounts or multiple accounts (ive seen players that are 100% alone add 2, 3, or 4 pokemon accounts to gyms), and offering for sale modded software to permit the above AND avoid cheat detection. I report this crap again and again and again with evidence that would meet beyond a reasonable doubt level of clarity in a criminal trial but do they punish the offending players? No. Im getting sick of it. Ive played for over half a decade but im ready to quit.

what would YOU do in my place? Quit? Or?

im done. I quit. Im an honest player but cheaters took a relaxing game away. I stalked a gym just now that has one side in a park that closes at sunset and one side with a street access. I watched the cheat gps spoof in, take it and vanish. I fight gyms in a specific way. I fight single target burn down, meaning i fight 1 until i kill it. Rinse repeat. I did just that. Took out an aggron or however its spelled then fought a snorlax. I was the only player there. The game limits you to 10 candies in 30 minutes. The snorlax was ALONE yet get fed 13 candies in under 7 minutes from them. So keeping score? Gps spoofing, time spoofing candy restrictions. Im sick of it. I cant play a game where cheaters wont face consequences. Avoid pokemon go.
