Coming from someone trolling and degrading people for self validation and kicks, means a lot. :)

Ha-ha, you are so clever. Your opinions/views are so singular and judgemental, have fun in life. :)

That is a very broad and gross generalization, and is still subject to grey areas and interpretation. As explained previously, some aspects are a violation of the ToS, and could be considered an exploit-ish, have already stated that (e.g. using their API to detect things). However, users pinning locations of what they…

For content that has existed for 20+ years, in an app that provides microtransactions, yah ... That is not exactly their target audience, nice try at belittling though. :)

Reread your last sentence and think on that for a while.

You are missing the point, that is not what my opinion is about, ut you are so far up your own, that you fail to grasp that.

I don’t need your pity. And it is more to do with being fed up with the current quality and proceedings or the industry as a whole. So your inflammatory remarks are what’s childish, since that seems to be what you are stuck on.

Go read a book or go to thesaurus.com and learn at least one new word instead of ‘dumb’. I hope that irony is not lost on you, but imagine that would be the case.

Your ranting, judgement, negativity, and aggressiveness, not to mention yourself, are pathetic.

Totally valid reason for just blindly accepting something, because “they said so.”. So in me saying there app is “not that great and becoming worse over time” now means that is also an absolute truth right? Also, there are nuances to this topic, using their api to detect things is against their TOS, that’s it. However…

No, it is against their ToS. Cheating is subjective. And as stated elsewhere, if using their API, sure it falls under that. User based pinning apps would NOT. And more to the point, these are being created to provide lacking/broken functionality. Niantic should be less concerned with people making features for them,…

Ha-ha, I can see from all your recent responses that you are definitely the bastion/judge of intelligence. Such eloquence and high-level thinking. And so mature also. Keep up the great work, you will go far! Imbecile.

See, the thing that pisses me off about this is that instead of fixing their lacking feature set and regressions, Niantic took the time to update/obfuscate their API to break fan created services that provide said missing/broken functionality. They are doing a lot at the moment to hurt their fanbase instead of…

Understandable, and services using their API would fall under that clause. However, sites that rely on user based pinning however are completely outside of that. And regardless of that, the fact these things exist and are a (arguably) necessary feature to actually enjoy the game, is a pretty glaring example of a lack…

Which one looks more like a forced waste of time? Hmm? I love how many people are defending the Devs as some holy force that knows better... They are a business that released a half cooked game that is banking on content recognition, whose regressions and incompleteness has caused fans to create said missing…

How is the third party stuff cheating. The audience has created services because of missing or broken features in the game... To make it fun.

Except this app is a completely different experience then the regular games, so this argument doesn’t really hold true.

Randomness factor? Cheat? Uh ok, first, that is not cheating, regardless of what “Jank” says. The game is not very well designed and since launch has regressed quite a bit. Using a service that actually provides functionality that is pretty key to the base experience is great, and if anything should be a wake up call…

More then there is time to write about. I feel you. Critical thinking is extinct.

Enjoy every moment. Don’t rush it.
