My Take:

I agree that the company needs to handle 3rd Party Program cases (those who use, as well as those who take part in games where these hacks are used) at a higher level., but if I'm not mistaken, nProtect is not under Softnyx's group of companies (hopefully somebody corrects me if I'm wrong). That being the case,  it is safe to say  the result of their security measures are kept on hold as well.

And as for in-game activity boosts through game play manipulation like fixed/spy games, a higher mode of discretion in game log result findings/readings is needed.

As i've said in On-Going Petition, Softnyx should stipulate such important facts as to what is the Maximum LEGAL amount of GP that can be ATTAINED in 1 DAY with and/or without certain EX Items as well as the Maximum LEGAL Number of games allowed on a 1 vs 1 / 2 vs 2 /  3 vs 3 / 4 vs 4 games with the exact same player/s and include such in their "Policies".

I for one have never played any other online game besides GunBound, but I can definitely relate (as I have buddies who still work at gaming firms as well) to the fact that there are other games that have as much, or more, rampant hackings.

You might have misunderstood PKK's petition.. but as I see it..

1. He is not a Gold-Only User (as he said in his post, the reason as to why he was able to gain much GP and Gold was not just because of Game-Play Time, but rather through the results of those EX Items he has purchased, which are only sold for "Cash")

2. PKK's campaign is primarily focused on him getting banned. If it weren't for such, he would have never took time to stress out on points (that have been ignored for quite the amount of time) others (specially those who don't charge cash and/or are insignificant to the population due to unpopularity yet still having a say) have as well. It may be selfish and for his personal gain, no matter how bad and pathetic his whining & crying is.. even if its just ALL Whimper and Snivel.. at least its another contribution to the community. demanding a swift but effective fix to apparent unsolved issues namely, unpatched 3rd party programs and it's users/abusers, System Glitches (EX Items, Pets and Mobile Card failure to come through with its description or resulting in game freezes/lags + sudden change and downgrade in settings of certain Mobiles. As for his account being banned unlawfully, that is another case/issue

I totally agree as well that Softnyx is a decent gaming firm on its own right. 

But sad to say, instead of focusing on matters that are essential for the overall improvement of the game (Primarily, patching 3rd party programs), they slack (for those who don't know its meaning: Avoid Responsibilities) and worse, compensate for their shortcomings by throwing Events and/or Events-with a catch (Offering prize/s which lead to yet another means of charging cash e.g.  Photo Membership prize given away during the 2nd week of Mobile Mission) or by blowing out a "Sale" and/or coming up with new items and game features.

As everyone can see, I obviously support Softnyx by means of contributing and pin-pointing if not all, most of the downfalls of GunBound which in all honesty, if you think of it in professional terms, what I have been doing, covers certain aspects of their Brand Manager's & Community Manager's Job Description and all I have gotten in return is what? idiots accusing of me what not *lol Despite my sarcasm and straight forwardness and humor, my primary goal is constructive criticism hoping only for the betterment of the Game and its Community. 

I myself have decided not to Charge (till they finally step up their game), not just on grounds that Softnyx has yet to Solve the rampant use of 3rd Party Programs and certain In-Game Bugs, but more on the fact that it is quite disturbing to see how they have specific "Violation and Rules" yet do not abide by them.

What better example to use but My Pet iiiPwnGayLy (<-- Click Me XD), For recent players who have been roaming around the forums, it wont be hard to see My pet and His Lover tailing me gayly endlessly with Racism and Profanity. At first, I opt to just let this overgrown retard have his way since I expected that time will soon catch up with him and he eventually will receive appropriate Disciplinary Actions but I obviously thought too highly of Softnyx. So, instead of waiting for whomever is responsible to take necessary actions, I decided to toy around with both My Pet and His Lover. Why should I, nor anybody for that matter, allow just anyone to talk to us in such a manner and worse, get away with it. Not in my book. Not now, not ever. It's high time morons get a taste of their own crap.

UPDATE as of 03-11

Then again, I wonder, was he banned because of the screenshots I posted and Q&A'd

or was it because of his profanity and stupidity?

Oh well. Justice has been served. hahaha. ahahah. hah. ha.

And this type of case is just 1 out of hundreds which happen on a daily basis in-game. It seems My Opinion, not yours! So Shut The Hell Up *lol (yes you the one reading it now, unless you have somebody beside you as well, tap him/her in the shoulder and tell him/her, to shut up as well and just read on) besides, it's not like anyone can do jack about it *XD that since the usual culprits are those who happen to be Regular and/or Big Cash Chargers.. instead of receiving equivalent punishment, whomever has Administrative powers shows LENIENCY (at its highest level, mind you) instead. Like I said earlier, their Level of Discretion is totally absurd. in fact, discretion shouldn't even be the word used as it means "judging wisely" which is, in no manner, their trait.

Or maybe such leniency and favoring is not really (or just) based on these culprits being great paying clients, but maybe.. just maybe, its because of the fact that if Softnyx actually acts in accordance to their policy, then we just might end up seeing a rough estimate of 200 players only throughout the whole game?

Hmmm.. lets enumerate the usual Violations (seen at the Forum and In-Game) and its specific punishment:

 

So based on such, it is safe to presume that http://softnyx.biz/rankinguser-16328 should have received a Permanent Ban Punishment.. but as obvious as it is, she (yes its a she, i know.. i know, i too thought it was a he *lol) has not received any form of punishment. *VNS! Softnyx

And how about those players who are fleeceable or are left with no choice since the only way to get specific  high in price gold-only avatars (in order to at least have a not-so-much-of-a-fighting-chance) is through such..

 

  

As for this moron being in the same guild still, but ranking up and/or changing IGN, I couldn't care less. Only thing I wonder about is, if he received appropriate punishment as well. And this is just 1 example out of hundreds as well. You'll see other rooms which have titles such as "Stay20x Win Ava"etc.

I need not put a sample screenie for other cases such as rampant Racism, Cursing , Inappropriate ID or Guild Name and Advertising Hacked Game Rooms (though others just bugle such to lure those who actually are more enticed by hacked games compared to those that aren't, since in hacked games even if they lose, they still gain double/triple the amount of GP and Gold compared to standard games)

So we have 2 crystal clear examples of which fall under "Miss-use which is obviously, no surprise at all.. misspelled  of the free board" category that considers Spamming, Advertising, seless i believe the word  should have been "senseless" posts, attacking individuals, spreading rumors or other un-acceptable which didn't need a dash behaviors are not to be tolerated (Such contents are to be deleted without any warning.) as Punishable Offenses and "Abusing (Faking Wins/Loss, Using third party program/ Using a bug in the system for one's self benefit)" category that states "If any user is found unfair play actions (Double killing, Ice tag Hacking tools, botting etc) or deceive (free kills) other users to gain extra GP or Gold will be punished".

For the first category, first offense gives a 3-day ban, 2nd.. half a month ban and on the 3rd and last offense, a Permanent Ban. But as obvious as it is, neither was given to iiiPwnGayLy and His Lover *lol and if any of you are gonna say, I should get banned too since I said supposed mean words as well? again... learn how to "READ" and actually "COMPREHEND". Go Figure.

For the next category, first offense gives a Ban for 7 days,GP and gold 20% decrease from account. 2nd.. Ban for 7 days,GP and Gold 30% decrease from account. and lastly, Ban for ever which obviously should be spelled as forever GP and Gold 50% decrease from account. which in all honesty i find quite stupid as what is the point in leaving behind 50% of either Gold nor GP if the culprit will be permanently banned. ZzZz But since I have no means in tracking IceEclipse's whereabouts to check if he actually received any form of disciplinary action, I can't really say if they did their job.

Oh well.. I Rest My Case. For Now Bwahahahaha >:) !!! hehe XD
