For me personally, this ruined Foursquare. I was really enjoying the game for a while, competing for mayorships with my friends, until I started to see people checking in one place, and then checking in five miles away immediately after. It really affected my motivation to compete at Foursquare.
From Foursquare versus Gowalla, round two. I love Foursquare, and competing against others (because I’m very competitive), but I 100% agree here on the cheating. It’s making me care less and less about using Foursquare. It gets less fun if there’s no honest competition.
