Regarding PokéRus Abuse
Forum Index > Core > Announcements > News Archive >
Hey guys, quick announcement regarding the abuse of the PokéRus.
It's short and sweet, won't keep ya long.
We're aware of a certain way that a user can abuse the PokéRus feature - well, tell a lie, we're not just aware of it, we can actively detect it.
Let us all consider this fair warning not to do that.
If we have to spend time on this, that time spent and inconvenience caused will be passed on to the users who caused us to have to make this choice.
Edit: People are blowing this out of the water. We already said it's about the abuse of PokéRus. If we wanted to punish all PokéRus hunters, we would have simply removed the feature. Please don't make assumptions - we are doing our homework.

what exactly do you mean by abuse of pokerus? Isn't it always the same lottery style, click, maybe get it, maybe not, and go on?
there's probably a way to guarantee it, but it won't be revealed because telling people how to do an exploit will invariably lead to people actually doing that exploit. (aka why we can't have nice things)
hope y'all can get it fixed soon!
i dont talk on pfq much tbh

How is Pokerus being abused? I didn't even know that there was a right way and a wrong way to deal with Pokerus, tbh
Locking fields and getting buddies. Simple as that. Been watching a lot of people do it yesterday.

Eek - is it something that can be done unintentionally? I have kind of a phobia of accidentally doing bad/illegal things without being aware of it ._.;

Wait! is that why I kept coming across people who had insane amounts of pokemon but had all fields locked!? That's lame, people can be butts sometimes

Does this have anything to do with seeing the same couple of people get Rus over and over again the past few days? @@
Maybe fields can be prevented from being locked if you get Rus or something..,
