Bluestacks have always been against TOS, it’s not even actually allowed to be talked about on the forum..
It’s unfortunate that some people use it because it’s just most convenient and easier to use, and then some people use it to hack the game! But I’m happy to here they can tell the difference!

We are on a tight spot here as the more information we share out there, the easier is for hackers to figure out another way to screw us (and you) up. So I'll try to address all the concerns mentioned here as best as possible.
- Every player has the right to contact us if they felt that it was unfair or if they've done nothing against the rules they previously accepted in order to play. We'll be glad to review case by case. But please. If you actually used an illegal tool to get an extra benefit in the game, don't use our support time that could be used to help someone that actually needs help. I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, but cheating is already bad enough on its own.
- I understand the reaction suggesting that we should ban them permanently, but as @bladgier said, we do believe that some of them will play fair from now on. We'll keep tracking all the accounts to make sure it doesn't happen again, and if it does, then we'll permanently ban them. The benefit they gained from it should be even out by the weeks they won't be able to play.
- The players with a lot of 5 pink star survivors was a problem in our system and we went through the list again to make sure that they are out of the game. If you still find something weird, feel free to send a screenshot to me or to support so we can investigate. But these players shouldn't be in the game anymore.
- I appreciate if you guys stop calling out people or pointing fingers. Nobody wins from this witch hunt. Also, don't accuse anyone publicly, even if you believe you have enough proof. If you do suspect something, contact us privately through a support ticket.
- We'll continue adding more cheating/exploit preventions and more ways to identify those players in order to provide a better and fairer environment for you guys.
- Bluestacks are not supported by us, so we won't be able to help you if you have any problem when playing on a pc through or an emulator or something. However, this wasn't the reason that those players got banned today.
I think that's all I can say for now without going into details. I'd like to ask you that you also understand our point of view and trust us that we made this decision out of nowhere. We wouldn't be banning them for only 2 weeks if the damage they've done in the game was catastrophic. But of course, we are definitely not happy to have players trying different ways to get an unfair advantage in the game, but we do believe that everyone deserves a second chance.
I really like Carly's idea to have a super cool event during the following weeks though, haha. I'll bring this up to the team but can't promise anything for now.
Anyway, thanks a lot for reading and most of all, for caring about No Man's Land.
@Kaz I remember during a star exploit a bunch of people were banned and during that week we had double/extra or something radio event... and danggg were they disappointed lol
So I’m on board with something like that!
No problem @Kick_ass we all just want a fair and enjoyable game!

@bladgier i think you went too deep . I think we’re way too invested to accept a slap on the wrist . Like i said earlier . That’s sending a terrible message to the competitors of the game . Regardless of ftp or spenders allowing somebody to hack for stars and whatever else is serious and shouldn’t be a slap on the wrist . Refund me my cash plz . F dat .
A public outing can be great punishment in and of itself. I mean, who would take these cheats in their guild if outed? I offer Rosie Ruiz as the poster child for this kind of thing. Google it if you are unfamiliar.
@Kaz I understand not naming people but could you please specify that GW’s was not involved.. Some people are inferring AOS was or must have been involved in cheating and I am beyond furious because nobody in our guild would ever think about cheating because we value the competition too much and play with honour.
Some people are jumping on the bandwagon and spitefully spreading rumours AOS cheats and this must be stopped!

I feel a Radioactive Week is in order. I will admit that someone I know, let's call him Uncle Bob, was one of those players who got a week-long ban for the "Star Exploit" back in February 2017 which hit at the same time as a Radio Drop event -- when those were friggin' awesome events.
I also think the release of a Legendary Phased Plasma Rifle in the 40-Watt Range for 500 TGs in the TG Shop is also in order.
If anyone knows of another great hack, let me know and I will pass it along to people I hate in the hope of another ban so we can get even more cool stuff...
I didn't read all the comments posted, but players who cheated shouldn't get a week and a half slap on the wrist (half of this challenge and the next challenge) and be able to keep all the rewards they earned through cheating.
I agree with your posts reference having facts before people making accusations about your guild (Army of Slayers). I also echo what @Mystique said and I know better (as I am sure just about everyone else does).
I am sorry your guild and guild members' integrity was put into question like that. I am glad you posted what you did to Content Creator Gen Walker although I am sure you had to edit your post a few times before posting 😆😆😆
I 102% agree with your posts (with a 2% margin of error). What is troubling to me is that by banning these people for 2 weeks, the precident has been set.
What stops disgraceful people who already want to take a break from the game from using an exploit? The whole, " I want to take a break from NML so mine as well try this..."
These people should be removed from the leaderboard or put an * next to there names to note that part of their score was obtained outside of normal game parameters (I.e. illegal cheating).
Also @bladgier , these people did not make mistakes; they made choices. They CHOSE to download the mod and they CHOSE to play a modified version of the game that was illegal. I agree with a lot of what you said @bladgier but I don't see it as a mistake.
@Kaz please at the very least consider putting an astrix or other note next to those on the leaderboard who cheated with this (and other) hacks. They are taking a break from the game for 2 weeks and I get that but we still have to push to catch up a bit (however much or little). Or we don't take a break so that we can catch up.
Reason I feel this way is because I don't believe the 2 week ban will necessarily deter people from doing this again. I am not sure how long they were using it but what stops the next batch? Perhaps a planned vacation or other?
The biggest sticking point for me is that there that principle here. The people who chose to hack the game for personal gain, gain more stars on the leaderboard and disrespect the feelings of those trying to climb the leaderboard without a hack should not deserve respect from those honest people playing the game right. They should not be honored on the leaderboard or if they are then their score should not be respected the same as those who were honest...
I'll go back to my corner now. Thanks for reading 😊
I do believe that all who have been banned should be listed, i for one would not want to play in a guild with a player that was banned, however as we do not have that info how do we know when accepting new players? As for @General_Pain please be assured that your comments are not funny, clever or even vaugly interesting to anyone with a shread of credibility. To publicly attack a whole guild due to the pettyness of not being allowed to visit to make content is childlike, you were not allowed because we did not want you, if any other content creator would like to make any content i will be happy to champion them! But for you @General_Pain “The way is shut, it was made by those who Slay, and the Slayers keep it”

Is this truly the reason? If so then just wow.... Will leave it at that since it is just an unconfirmed statement right now but it says a lot if it is true...
@vshield50 Yes unconfirmed at present as i can not prove anyones intent as that can only be proven by a big enough person to admit malice, however the facts are, he requested access for content, we said a massive NO! He then accuses us of cheating with ZERO information regarding any player in our guild, also because he has been given an undeserved mantle as “Content Creator” unfortunately his comments are actually taken seriously by some people! Basically like a unlicensed media outlet allowed to freely post slander with no repercussions! He can edit his post all he wants to take out name out, however we deserve an apology
