You are going to find yourself very far behind. Dealing with the gyms will be out of your reach well.... forever. Even I can't really do them and I've been playing hardcore. We have a lot of people in our city that play nearly 24/7 and need to get a fucking life. They literally spend all day driving around and makes the gym experience very challenging for those who actually have school or a job. The XP curve gets absolutely ridiculous. There is a reason no one is max level or even level 60 from my knowledge. You can level up to max level in any known MMO faster than you can in this game. You're going to regret that you waited. I've seen campers on multiple occasion. The provincial government building has around 20-30 Pokéstops that's all within a 5 minute radius of walking distance. You can hit them all up so fast that they reset by the time you get a few. Many of them are just touching each other and the two gyms are 30 seconds apart. You'll find about 5-6 lures up at any given time.
To be honest.... I'm not sure if they will actually perma ban people or reset the game with all the money people are paying. I spent around $40 so I could have a full bag upgrade. The default is 350, the max is 1000. The amount of Pokéstops here is so ridiculous that it's actually worth it. I'd ligetimally lose it and feel robbed if I was banned. I think temp bans until it's officially released is perfectly acceptable however. I wouldn't be upset about that. If they could get everyone in Canada, I wouldn't be against it either. It's absolutely not fair to people like you who are waiting patiently, and will be absolutely fucked for being the good person who is obeying the companies wishes. Maybe Niantic can reward those people and give them a bunch of Pokécoins? I cannot stress enough on how unfair this advantage is. You will be mercilessly insta-gibbed if you try to take any gyms.
Speaking of Quebec. Some guy hit a police car while driving in Quebec City. Both cops suffered some minor injuries. It wasn't stated if he was charged or let go as he was fully honest about everything he did and it served as an example of how dangerous the game is while driving. It was just in a parking lot and it's only a matter of time until the cops start cracking down on people playing and driving. Unlike texting.... you need to look at the phone constantly, you can't blind fire it.
