You sound like you know what you are talking about and I enjoyed reading what you posted.
The thing is Niantic will still be able to detect it. Idk what "ingress" is but Im pretty positive in saying they didnt make 16 billion dollars in a week after release.
Sure you can spoof walk undetected to your location. If its 25+ miles away and you do that everyday from your home eventually you will get caught.
There is no way around it. Idc what apps you have installed or if your phone is rooted. Nothing you do will keep Niantic from finding you abusing their game.
You cannot spoof your location 24/7 you might be able to do it for a couple days but when your account is farther than 99% of people playing they will see the difference between the two accounts.
For example if my account was compared to a spoofer. They would see me driving around collecting pokestops and walking down the park path a million times hitting all the lures.
They will easily be able to tell who is spoofing without even looking into the spoofers phone.
None of us know what Niantic has in their back pocket as far as detecting spoofers.
And the 1 hour or 24 temp bans are temporary while they fix bugs and such. When stuff is running smoothly they will perm ban anyone who has spoofed.
And when that time comes I will be laughing in the face of each and every spoofer and making fun of them for being retarded thinking they could get away with it.
Im sorry but a company that just made as much money as Niantic did is not going to let people ruin the integrity of their game from simply installing 2-3 apps on their phone.. Its just not going to work.
you are 100% correct, they made a game called ingress google it is based of a geo location same as pokemon go. That game is quite old so thats how they where able to implement pokemon into their servers. The fact that they been updating that application recently, states they are coming up with major updates. Yes Niantic is very hard on spoofers or any weird movement of your gps jumping to areas you should not be or are unreachable within matter of time. Anyone tagged is ready for a ban. If you have been temp banned, does not mean you are safe from ban. Just means you are in a list ready to compile and add a ban timer. Niantic became big because of pokemon and an fyi 3 companies control pokemon niantic is just a 33% owner so there are other things that's stopping them from completing what they did in ingress. They recently hired 3 main programmers, one being help from Amazon CEO. So yes there is a huge change coming soon to pokemon. Look forward for uncalled bans though, broken gps on phones will cause this trigger, installed gps spoofing apps, rooted mocked enabled locations not hidden propertly, Insane amount of walking 24/7 no resting physically impossible, yes you are right, if you are not carefull with your movement you will get banned. However at this very moment, no permanent ban has been applied. Think about it as a read users moves add it to database and learn from it, its a mathematical formula the system needs to learn. Once its got a decent progress it will auto message users and auto ban them from the game.
