Dear NiA Ops, please ban my account

On Friday, a fellow player here was banned. No e-mail, no three strikes. The player in question is known and accepted as a fair and clean player by BOTH factions in the area. Know what? If he has to be banned, ban me as well. Ban all the legit fair playing players and keep the game for the spoofers and multi-accounters. If thats what's Niantics plan, good bye after 8 years. It was nice while it lasted, but enough is enough.

  • Sounds familiar, if you can't win in the field, try to win with an armchair decision "at the green table"...odd, very odd...

    Sign me in to get banned for playing fair!

    Good bye Niantic, time has come to leave as the game has becone a random source of annoyance and grief but it isn't fun anymore.

  • I second that comment with the shirt 😂

    I don't want to sign for I love this community....

    I don't want to see it go for playing honestly and actively

    I Just had a visit from a player, who was cutting though my highly modded homezone like a hot knife through butter, despite 2 players actively recharging...

    Once I was right beside him, he was only able to take down one more portal 🤔 Few green shields made him give up 🤷.

    When you have to cheat to play this game, why dont you just Stop playing 😩🤦

    If Niantic will really introduce subscription, before handling those issues, the game will be dead anyways

    It seems that spoofers have begun to make inappropriate announcements with their bots about all the nicknames that come up. Some of these are clearly going through and agents are being banned for no reason. This means that you do not have time to go through the correct announcements.

  • Can you please tell more about this? You are saying bots roam the landscape, picking names from the intel, and automatically reporting them?

  • The absurdity is after an agent gets banned, Niantic seems to encourage them to continue to play again by starting a brand new account.. then telling them not to violate ToS on the new account..

    My gf's account got hit during a ban wave awhile back along with many other accounts that were either a spouse, child, or something else.. Assuming flagged for being a possible multi-account because of such patterns.

    Appealed with no luck this far.. Local community has met her and has participated with me in several anomalies.. Making a new account is ****.. we spent money to get those anomaly badges.. money was spent getting her key capsules, money was spent.. on a lot of things that were just absolutely wrongly taken away because of whatever computer algorithm that deemed her in violation.

    She still had CMU credit in her account from the massive hiccup from the last anomaly which gave her the credit.. that was Niantic's way to refund us and for the inconvenience..

    While she's pretty much given up and has no intention of touching a game from Niantic ever again (she played PoGo and Wizards for awhile too), I'm still absolutely upset of the robbery..

    Sure, out of boredom she started a new Ingress account a few weeks ago, but she'd rather get her old account back, I'm sure. It's about the badges and the money invested.. Not even about the time invested.. AP can be gained whenever.. it's about the other things you can't get back.

  • Probably. This keeps the recipients of the reports busy. This is also indicated by the fact that reporting spoofers does not seem to lead to anything. Only when the issue is raised here they will be banned.

    How many agents do you think can fully defend a portal?

    Btw, /signed

    Tried other ARG games (for example: pogo, wizard, randonautica, orna) but this is the only game that sticks and has become a habit tough to break...but banning a verified agent that is known so far to be fair and clean, it might have felt like a bless in disguise to be out of it.

  • @Snyda1 "When you have to cheat to play this game, why dont you just Stop playing"


    I did just that, I stopped playing. My hometown is covered by a large field whose portals are on the islands. The builders of the field have been charging it since the summer. Someone who likes the game a lot could start spoofing that they can play again. Once you’ve spoofed once, you’ll do it again.

    I just stop playing and went to the stands. I hope they release Catan soon.
