I like Pokemon GO as much as the next guy, but botters are ruining the game for everyone! It is honestly getting out of hand. After all, this is a Minecraft marketplace. If you want to discuss Pokemon, just sign up for Gruss's new forum.

I think you're mis-interpreting what I meant, OG MC Account Usernames aren't exactly game breaking, are they?
neither are GO bots? you realise pokemon spawns are done by traffic in the area. due to people putting 1000 bots in places the pokemon spawns are thriving more.

However bots can easily level you from 0-20 in a day, which would not be possible if you were playing the game how it was intended to be played.

By this logic we should also ban botted social media accounts

Please remember this is all personal preference. Feel free to make a suggestion on banning botted social media accounts, I'd agree with that aswell

Last I checked Croc is staff on Gruss's forum and this just looks like him trying to get more members for the site.

There is no reason to limit this down.

They're ruining the whole point of the game by buying these accounts.
If we are currently allowing modded accounts of other games to be sold, this should be no different.

McM allows the selling of hacked clients - let's ban those too
McM allows selling non minecraft things - let's ban all that development and art that aren't minecraft related, giftcards, loans, steam accounts and other stuff I'm likely forgetting
Pokemon Go botting violates ToS of PoGo - so does account sales, let's ban those too
Your logic is flawed and onesided.

1) I agree, we probably should stop redistributing hacked clients.
2) Please tell me how that came into it lmao.
3) As I have stated previously. Yes, account sales also break the EULA. However the sales of Minecraft accounts aren't exactly game breaking.

What will this accomplish? I've seen many discord groups (some with thousands of members), subreddits, forums, twitch streams, etc. all dedicated to botting in pokemon go. It's not like disallowing it here will make botting disappear. You may not like it, but it's clear that the vast majority does and that there's no reason to remove it.

Lots of modded games and stuff are to add more features to the game. Pokémon go is different. It's meant to get people like us our of our chairs and into the community more.
My botting and selling accounts, it's just adding to our laziness, ruining the game, and costing us money.

[-] Adds to our laziness
[-] Ruins the point of the game
[-] Costs money for what should be a F2P Game
[-] Possibility of getting banned
[-] Ruins the community and battles

[+] You get an account.

Again, Minecraft accounts aren't game breaking, owning the account with a certain username gives you no ability over another player.
Steam accounts, all depending on the reasoning of selling it.

Ranked accounts. It allows them to get access to higher permissions than others.

Yes, however this is limited to certain servers and if all servers were EULA compliant then there would be no hierarchy over normal players. Botting allows users to get to places which a lot of regular users wouldn't be able to, for example. Far Fetch'd is a region exclusive pokemon to Asia, meaning if someone with a bot was in America, they would be able to catch this pokemon and use it to there advantage, when very few regular American users would, due to the costing of going to Asia and back.

Those are completely different because they are sold by the companies that run the servers, and are advertised to everyone. They're also there for reasons other than profit, like server costs, developers, advertisements, etc.

For anyone comparing Pokémon Go to Minecraft Accounts,
You're basically comparing Shoes to Horses.
They're very different.
