In 2024, does Trom City as a nearly 20-year-old web game need new blood?
Now that the benefits of reselling flowers and plushies have been reduced, how can new players make their first pot of gold in this game?
Since in Tron City, players can't farm mobs unlimitedly for gold & items & equipment like WOW & FF14 & ESOL, etc., what makes u guys think listing those games out and saying "5% is quite generous" was a good idea?
Everything seemed fine until I got a mission called Hiding in Plain View, which asked me to defeat a target in the Cayman Islands, and I was told their armors & weapons were not removed!!! How the hell on earth could someone beat a target that almost always has higher BS than u naked & using poor weapons sold by the system shop??? even after taken vic, it's still fuking hopeless!
So should I feel sorry? cuz unlike the UK and some of the Western world, we don't have public records search services, also we are all law-abiding citizens and would not use our phone numbers for harassment or doxing. Can't help but wonder what kind of environment makes you so sensitive and don't believe in unconditional kindness between people.
I guess you'd rather believe a thief who stole all the money from the faction by endorsing an obviously false article without any evidence (I believe someone has already explained how this article is biased and deliberately omits the translation of some image information to create the illusion that SMTH disregards the rules of the game).
If you have clear evidence, feel free to report. The first thing I was taught when I joined this game was that RMT, multiple accounts, and using automated scripts are NOT ALLOWED. In fact, past violators will be used as examples to warn new players and will be removed from the faction ASAP. Clearly, now SMTH is actively complying with TORN's rules. If you have any doubts, feel free to report any suspicious individuals to the administrators, as long as you can afford the cost of defamation (because the consequence of violating the rules is being feded, so those who make baseless accusations should obviously also bear the responsibility for disrupting the game's order, shouldn't they?).
Actually, the mission target matching system itself is stupid & unbalanced, for 80+% of the time, ur target got higher BS, the only thing u can do is either stack multiple debuff temporary weapons or stack ur BS using VIC & weapons that have motive effect or put him into the stakeouts list & pray for someone else could put him into the hospital

If you're really curious about how things look in Western and Eastern countries without filters, feel free to search "RedNote incident," but we'll leave that for somewhere else🤣

Yep, u've got the point, cuz in China, we don't have such a LEGAL system called public records search services that allow u to track a person using only 50 USD (and the website will even keep you anonymous), every doxing behavior is ILLEGAL, furthermore, tracing phone numbers back to accounts or even individuals is prohibited (police can only legally trace such numbers in criminal cases). That's why this kinda system built on trust could work in SMTH
So? we've been debating the issues of loans and phone numbers for so long, yet you still ignore the fact that the entire article presents a conclusion first, then distorts everything just to lead to the conclusion you want see.
Ignoring all the evidence mentioned and disregarding the deliberate omission of translations in the images, could you have tried even harder to appear fair and objective?

However, in China, we take games quite seriously, so we borrow the logic from real-world lending and require a phone number as collateral. In most cases, the only time this phone number is used is during the initial verification process, which is even less than some Chinese games that require phone numbers for login. Not to mention, countless MMOs worldwide require members to provide phone numbers to maintain contact and prove credit. Anyway, I don't see any significant difference between them in real life.
Well Well Well, isn't this our traitor? So why don't you provide a police report? After all, harassment is illegal in China, isn't it? At the very least, you could provide call logs or something to prove you're a victim of harassment, right?
So the question is, in a country where phone numbers are primarily used for communication rather than doxing, should providing a phone number be considered a form of obtaining personal information rather than making it easier to contact someone? More importantly, in China, providing a phone number has never been illegal; doxing is. Your logic is rather strange.
An old Chinese saying, "If you have Buddha in your heart, you will see Buddha everywhere." The truth is, we genuinely help new players with instinctive goodwill and have never harassed them with phone numbers. We've explained the cultural differences and operating mechanisms behind this at length several times, yet some people still harbor malicious speculation, believing that anyone with the ability to do evil will inevitably do evil, and that having a phone number will inevitably lead to harassment. Frankly, this is truly frustrating.
I also noticed that you couldn't provide any evidence that any SMTH member was harassed for providing their phone number. Just like you might choke on your food, providing a phone number might indeed increase the risk of harassment, but you're unwilling to confront the victims or believe that similar incidents have never happened at SMTH (and you even used the ridiculous conclusion that I might be the harasser). In my opinion, you're just being an unreasonable shrew.

We've explained enough, perhaps even too much. After all, we've always welcomed administrators to review our Faction communication mode and encouraged reports of members violating the game rules with evidence. But what have we seen now? Biased and out-of-context articles appear on the front page of the game's newsletter, and numerous players make unfounded accusations and criticisms based on their naive understanding of politics and Chinese culture. So if you want to continue, please provide real-time evidence, instead of acting like a shrew and prejudicedly attacking us rats.
