An eye out for spoofers

We currently have an event ongoing which has expanded the rate at which you can acquire rare skills via driftsmelting in-game in the form of dropped driftgems. In normal gameplay this is a wonderful way to get an awesome reward by being lucky. This is most likely going to attract the most hardcore spoofers to push their driftsmelting habits off the charts to be slamming all their favorite gear with the new rare skill. This presents an opportunity for Niantic (and players) to actually monitor progress for players they suspect might be pushing this opportunity for greater heights for clear signs of cheating. If some players are smelting 10+ Mysterious Drifgems a day (without insta-solution) it hardly is a feasible rate to happen without cheating. Keep your eyes open.

Players cannot tell whether someone has used an Insta-smelt Solution, so monitoring this would be quite difficult.
However, Niantic likely has access to log data, so we hope they will keep a close eye on spoofing and cheating.
