On why couldn’t ‘setting codes and sending it to players’ gmail account’ is done by mechanic (not manpower)? It’s just like the code is set according to your account starting time.
Understand your point. The system isn’t & most likely will never be perfect. There will always be people who will circumvent any restrictions put in place. The new update looks like it is moving the game in the right direction though with regard to recognition of 3rd party apps that aid spoofers.
Plus who knows, the international community listen to what comes from this forum (the APK mines really only come from here & the Silph Road or reddit) & any of the ideas may turn out to be key in getting the ball rolling. Let’s see how we can help add to them.

According to Silph Road, Niantic have added something shady to the code. This thing is specifically designed to eliminate Android Spoofing, But doesn’t help IOS As Well. It can work out if you’ve downloaded any hacking apps before by using some unknown means. Isn’t that illegal? Invading your privacy and looking what apps you’ve installed?
Yoshi:
Of course it’s illegal. How can Niantic ensure our information won’t be leaked! (It’s likely a stalker’s behavior!) For those players who stopped spoofing but forgot to uninstall the app they might also be banned. Idk how many ‘% of players’ will be banned after this ban wave. Niantic always let us down! Is eliminating players that essential?!
JoshHack:
Yep! It’s just that I know not many people realised that this was in the update and I wanted to bring it to light. Also @Yoshi unless Niantic Get express permission from Apple to add that in completely it would 100% be illegal.
Yoshi:
Niantic is going to bear the risk of legal responsibility and receiving complaints from playerbase!
JoshHack:
Complaints in one thing, this would be utter anarchy if they add this. If they do add this, I might not play as they can literally check up on anything your phone is doing, what apps it has, etc:

I’m wondering, whats the problem about spoofing, other than few idiots taking down other gyms?
You cant lose a Pokémon because someone else caught it, and they can be a big help in raids

I’m trying to explain the same for a long time now, but they don’t want to hear it. It’s against the rules, and so nobody has to do it…

That’s why i’m proposing a solution which allows everyone to play without disturbing eachother.
I know, but too much times I have to read the comments from the other group, so I have decided to calm down and shut my mouth…
But then everybody would spoof
Be it just to play with a friend that spoofs, to get the regionals, or just to be completely free for flying to the other side of the planet for a 100IV Heracross
And??? Is this soo bad? Does it harm you?

Then it loses the point
I wouldnt care much, but a lot of people would bitch about others having unfair advantage
So everybody would start spoofing
Spoofing doesn’t interfere with your gameplay tho…Your mad someone took your gym? Thats the game its not like gyms stay yours for a set time. Also the Exraid part is a simple solution;”Private rooms”
If a spoofer keeps kicking people out from all the gyms around, they cant do much (even tho these are very rare)
And they can take up EX Raid passes, only to be blocked off from private groups
Hopefully the game will improve for all

Everybody can spoof, but if you get caught you face consequences, easy as that
Sorry to say this many Pokémon go YouTube community admit spoofing isn’t going away. Crying about it won’t do anything might as well move on
They should just make a way to earn coins that doesn’t involve having to interact with other players (And cheaters). Just keep battling for PVP for enjoyment. Perhaps some daily quests or something to get coins for doing raids, catching a certain number of pokemon, etc. It’s not fair that legitimate players have to compete with cheaters to get coins and enjoy the gym system. Just get rid of gyms altogether and replace with PVP. That’s my idea.
I have absolutely no interest in PvP.

With the current system, it might be fun to just see who has got stronger mons once or twice, but unless they add rewards people wont use it
