"Pokemon Go Implements Strict Bans for XL Candy Exploit in Routes"
Niantic, the developer of Pokemon Go, is banning players who have been exploiting the XL candy bug in the Routes feature. The exploit allowed players to earn XL candies at an accelerated rate by bypassing the speed cap. Some players have already received suspensions ranging from 30 days to 230 days, with the possibility of permanent bans for repeat offenders. Niantic's response shows their intolerance for players who manipulate in-game systems through illegitimate means.
