Our town of 100k people has around 4/5 gyms in it I'm not going to use that or the fact that there are people who have put more time and effort into the game as reasoning to "cheat" in something like this, that's nuts logic. It's not just the social aspect of the game you are missing out on, by trying to play this as an actual PC game with wasd you're just missing the entire point of the game. |
What's the point of the game exactly?
It's a fun distraction while doing other things, whether socializing, walking around or browsing the internet or watching Netflix. Actually I don't see much socializing going on, little groups of peaple sitting together while staring into their phones. Mass hysteria doesn't happen in a town of 11 thousand.
I downloaded it as my kids kept asking for it (since it's all over let's play videos on you tube) and I don't have a cell phone anyway. Plus when we go out cycling I certainly don't want to teach them to use a phone while going through traffic! It's fine when we get banned yet we're not doing any harm anyway. We're not stomping on any low level gyms and even if we catch one, my kids put a low level in there that's gone in 5 minutes as they want to keep the good ones :)
Actually we did get banned already after my oldest jumped to Sydney, then back to Canada. It's only temporary.
