Let's clarify things:
Did I buy something outside of the game aka RMT? Yes, once, not multiple times as Desu said
Did I use 3rd party scripts to automate things aka cheating? Yes somewhere 2014-2016 I wrote python scripts. In 2020 I was playing with AI so I wrote a bot
Did I get banned? Yes
Do I complain about the above? NO
Did I get banned for not being able to write what was written in the captcha? Once or twice
EDIT:
forgot to add that I bought an account, never used it, I even don't know the logins (lmao xd)
Now:
I have created another account
Bought RPs and donator status
Still playing
I'm creating a new encounter counter
What I'm complaining about
My question about the Nintendo Switch is not answered even though few ppl are playing the game like that
Someone said that by using VPN and disconnecting, he got banned for 3 days, @Desu you are a software engineer so do I. Running docker, podman or other containers on our machines is our bread and butter, the same as VPN and other remote tools. Heck, I even have a wireshark installed, running my network on pfsense with a bunch of tools blocking various things. I would like to know what processes should I kill to not get banned.
The message while you are banned and want to log in is misleading / doesn't contain any information (toss a coin). It should be improved same as the CoC:
Is running the game on let's say 5 devices with 5 unique accounts is allowed or not?
Is running the game on devices like retroid pocket allowed
Do you ban the account by email or by name? (all my alts were registered under one email address and are banned)
In my opinion, the CoC should be revisited and added the things ppl are asking for / don't know the answer
Finally, the full log of my appeal
@Desu please, treat this message not as an attack but rather a valid concerns I see on Reddit / this forum/discord / YT videos.
I respect your work, I want to support you (with real money by buying things in game shop, if I'm actively playing) because You did an amazing job (as Dev to Dev, pokemon fan to pokemon fan).
