"Oath has only been online for ten days! Can you really call anyone a veteran player? And even if you can... isn't calling veteran players that going way too far?"

The reason Mio was so angry was that, from Oath's official perspective, Carl's statent made complete sense.

For a ga built on spending money as its core logic.

Even veteran players like Mio, who spent money on Oath early on and bought the monthly card and first recharge bonus...

As their understanding of the ga deepened, if Oath got lazy and failed to update with any good content, or if the quality of later version updates dropped, or if the story had so landmine plot point, those veteran players would be the ones making sharp criticisms of the ga.

In Oath's official eyes, weren't they obstacles who no longer burst out cash and only ca with a pile of troubleso demands?

You old-tirs already refuse to keep bursting out gold coins and spending money, yet you still occupy server bandwidth every day... while complaining that this part of the ga is bad and that part is bad.

Oath's official side not banning all your accounts was already rciful enough. And you still dare to make suggestions?

"You're still considered lucky. If you go to the major ga comnt sections to express your opinion... Miss Player, what are you doing?"

Carl noticed that Mio's fingertips were frantically tapping on a virtual keyboard. That gritted-teeth expression ant she had really gotten worked up.

"Posting complaints! The official forum won't let post, right? Then I'll ask what's going on under the ga's promotional videos and forum posts."

By the ti Carl tried to stop Mio, it was already too late. Mio's typing speed was shockingly fast, and several complaint comnts and posts were quickly sent out by her.

Although Mio was complaining, in Carl's eyes, what she posted was still... far too mild.

"The content in Oath Version 1.0 is too little, and the content drought is too long. I finally found an interesting mini-ga in Oath and wanted to share it with everyone, so why did the official side ban content related to this ga?"

Carl waited together with Mio in front of these posts for about ten minutes. Sure enough, Mio's posts soon attracted a group of unidentified creatures.

"Where did this elentary school kid co from? Look at other gas and see if they had even half as much launch content as Oath. Don't post and embarrass yourself if you've never played gas!"

"Content drought? What's your exploration progress right now? Can a ***** like you even understand how to play gas?"

Mio's blood pressure shot straight up. She directly replied below, saying things like, "My whole-map exploration is at 100%, and I've cleared every high-difficulty dungeon! What about you? Talk!"

"...Miss Player."

Seeing Mio get more and more worked up as she argued, Carl could not help reaching out and grabbing the wrist she was using to type, then said to her sowhat speechlessly.

"There's no need for you to argue with a bunch of things that don't exist."

"What do you an, things that don't exist?" Mio ca back to her senses, while Carl, with Mio's permission, reached out and began operating Mio's web interface.

Carl opened several accounts that had been arguing with Mio one after another.

One advantage of this world's forums was that they could link Elysium ga accounts.

This allowed viewers to see their own ga data and achievents.

Normal forum players, when arguing, would definitely link their high-investnt accounts to give themselves more confidence.

But the forum accounts Carl opened one after another either had no account linked at all, or were newly registered alt accounts.

And even when so had Oath accounts linked, both their level and exploration progress were far lower than Mio's.

The funniest part was that one of the accounts even had a two-hour anti-addiction restriction.

In other words, the account owner was a minor.

"Miss Player, do you... understand now?" Carl asked after showing Mio the true nature of the accounts she had been arguing with.

"Understand... what?"

Mio was still too pure-hearted. She had never seen just how chaotic rhythm wars in gacha gas could get.

"A large portion of these accounts arguing with you were just registered recently. They very likely aren't Oath players at all, but paid posters hired by Oath's official side to control public opinion."

"And a small portion are extrely willful and childish minors with no ability to distinguish right from wrong. Here, minors also broadly refers to those who are older in age, but whose ntality is still childish and unreasonable, like giant babies."

Carl directly told Mio what kind of people were arguing with her.

"Truly mature and reasonable players, as long as what you say is reasonable enough, are all willing to calmly discuss things with you. In fact, they may not even participate in this kind of discussion at all."

Carl was also a player who extrely loved gacha gas.

But Carl would never get involved in this kind of community war, because... there was no reasoning in this kind of rhythm war at all. The other side simply wanted to win.

Do not mingle with fandom circles when playing gas, and happiness will be free.

"This... does Oath's paid army really need to manage even the forums?" Mio felt this was a bit too much, right?

Carl wore a kind smile, then pulled out Oath's financial report from a few days ago and showed it to Mio.

"Oath's official marketing expenses at launch ranked first among all gas, reaching around eleven million dollars... How many paid posters do you think eleven million dollars can hire?" Carl asked.

"This... this much money all went into hiring paid posters? If the official side has this much money, why not use it to make more in-ga content?"

Mio felt even angrier when she saw this, but she quickly realized sothing.

"Wait... don't tell part of that eleven million dollars in marketing expenses ca from the money I spent?"

Carl snapped his fingers again, indicating that Mio had finally guessed sothing correctly.

"Of course it did. Do you understand now? No matter how much money you spend on Oath, it won't turn into high-quality ga content."

"On the contrary, all the money you spend will turn into... paid posters and giant babies swarming over to attack you when you complain about the ga's declining quality and lack of content."

What... what kind of logic was that!

Mio spent money on Oath because she wanted to play better story performances and better gaplay in the future.

But for a complacent ga company like Oath, they would never do troubleso things that did not make money.

In any case, they were currently the only single-player open-world ga on the market. No matter how badly they made it, players would still gladly accept it and treasure it like a gem!

"In short, Miss Player, your top priority right now is to stop participating in any argunts. As for future ga promotion, I have an idea," Carl said.

"...Carl, are you going to buy paid posters too?" Mio asked.

"You could call it bribing players, but the thod of bribing them is simply making your Oath gaplay experience more interesting," Carl said, explaining his idea.

"I plan to issue a mission to the players I co into contact with. As long as they can invite more new players to visit, I can unlock a completely new ga for them to play."

Carl was not sure whether the other players would be interested in this.

But in another worldline, Kyo, the strongest Oath player, was currently staring at Carl with an extrely terrifying gaze, as if asking, "Are there any new gas?"
