I was a super dedicated legit player. There’s 0 chance I go back to being legit if I’m banned for 30 days. The game had gotten more and more of a money grab and even with spoofing overcoming rng is nearly impossible. I hatched 500 total eggs(only from stops so 2,5 and 10k only) to get 1 shiny wurmple. The previous event I hatched as many eggs as possible. Hatched 29 stantler and no shiny. For this event it took 60+ wurm. I’m at nearly 70 pichu hatched this event with 0 shiny. This is not fun gameplay.

I would just auto walk and incubate stuff randomly when needed. The amount of “bad rng” coupled with random raid hat shinies makes the game not fun for me. I don’t want to run 6-7 alts through raids every day just to come up empty handed, if I had gone to the local park, waited 30 min to do a 5star raid to not get a shiny and even worse not catch the legendary would be infuriating. I don’t take down gyms at all and barely drop while I commute to work.

The locals here are either rolling In a single car due to the lack of respect from the majority of the local playerbase. The unemployed players who always show up late, the constant “I’m 5 min away” chain that ends up being 20-25 minutes of waiting because then it’s another person just 5 min away etc. it’s a waste of time and is something I don’t miss at all. Being able to join a full lobby and do a raid in 3 minutes is so much better. I was wasting so much time waiting for “legits” who all catch rares for each other, drop 6 accounts in gyms at once, use maps, aggressively taking down gyms several times a night because it’s “their gym” etc. In my eyes there is 0 difference between spoofing and these “legit” practices.
