I agree, hence the GREAT INJUSTICE as Matt Tracy (sic) mentioned below. Oh you've "been on vacation collecting uniques", gotcha (wink wink). It's sad man, ruining the game. Is this petition a cover-up? I wonder if someone has confirmed proof of your questionable activity. I'll be asking around, it's time we end this madness!!!

Cross faction relations would be better if the rules of the game were proactively enforced.
And nope, I have never spoofed and have only ever had 1 account. I have been on vacation so have been traveling around the area a bit, collecting uniques and what-not. I still need to pay Bain a visit. HellfirePhoenix Jarvised 17 portals the last time I went there LOL!

My thoughts exactly. And how cool is it that we have the same name, just spelled differently? SMH do your research if you're gonna troll. Makes me just feel bad for you.

Wow, this has made my day. Thank yinz for all the validation!!! Skyblast, I love the efforts here, glad you took the time to make this. It's been great seeing both factions work together to troll your petition. Keep up the good work everyone, I see cross-faction relations improving and it brings tears to my eyes. As for me, it's popcorn time. P.S. does skyblast really spoof? I saw that name all over SC a few weeks back, I thought it seemed fishy.

Please stop both Ingress or Pokemon players from playing on a rooted device. There is way too much GPS "spoofing" occurring.

Spoofing ruins the game for the majority of the people. Stop letting it happen.

This is GPS based game - GPS accuracy is a fundamental requirement. The ability to spoof is ruining the game.

Word. If the only way you can "win" is by cheating it's not really winning.

I've played Ingress since December 2012, and have had issues with people modifying their GPS since then. I applaud Niantic for taking measures to stop this (not allowing mock locations), but disallowing rooted devices is the next logical step. NOT doing this is going to do much more harm than good to both games as spoofers get more common.

Tired of the spoofing around NC. Particularly MasterMu, DarthMeno and Herutrio. Most of us are ready to quit the game. What's the point of playing if people are sitting on their couch cheating. Thanks, Lisa

I know that there are people in the world that play Ingress on rooted devices without cheating, and this change would affect them… but I would much rather those few people be inconvenienced than all of the players of the game.

Niantic, please fix this!
