They were insulted and insulting at the very suggestion, but at least I had made the effort, knowing that if I played competitively, we would be in direct competition with each other.įast forward a month, I am learning the game better, and getting better at efficiently and quickly taking down opposing team portals. I didn’t think they would agree, but wanted to at least have made the effort, before competing for the same area. (because I had joined on the recommendation of a buddy, and was on his team-the other team). To try and circumvent this problem, when I first started playing, recognizing we lived close, I invited them to be on my team.
I tend to play later at night for this reason. I do have PTSD though, and do not want to be around crowds or have in person conflict with people. I am a two time Iraq vet, and frankly, not scared of people playing a cell phone video game. I was warned about them when I first started playing, and have learned they have already chased several players out of the game. There is a married couple that plays obsessively, everyday, week after week, for years, they even pay for vanity plates with their agent names on them for their vehicles. Worked pretty well, lost 35 lbs, but unfortunately, there are too many players in my area that believe stalking, harassing, badgering, following, insulting, and threatening others is legitimate game play. Started playing the game to get out, get more exercise after a life threatening diagnosis of Liver disease. Niantic took ineffective action on several occasions when this escalating conflict was brought to their attention, and should address these problems through game design, and better player mediation. Niantic believed lies being told about me online, that were shown false in court, and I have a temporary ban. TL DR: Was harassed by other players for over a year, it went to court.
