I changed plans this week so i wouldn't blow data. Gf and i have popped 3 10km eggs in the last week. its great. sucks my new puppy can only make it to the pokestop across the street. my ascent to greatness has been curtailed. I can still stomp that 10 year old across the street when he tries to hold the gym, i put a cp 50 rattata in after so he can always take it back though.
i think we are underestimating people if we think that with a flip of a button a faceless entity can pit everyone against someone else. there is certainly power there but it only took a week before we saw team Harmony appear. only a week before we saw players give first aid to a miscarrying mother and other awesome examples of people doing awesome things that they normally wouldn't.
and i agree you're being tracked regardless if you're playing Pokemon GO, its probably damn hard to be off the grid.
Team Valor for the win!
