In the early morning of March 20, just when the spring equinox was in full swing, a major bug reappeared in the Xunfeng digital world.
Activity Tips: The Pear Blossom Chest is opened 3 times a day
According to the rules of the game, from March 15 to 21, the Spring Equinox Brewing Competition will be carried out, during which players will obtain "brewing value" by completing game tasks, opening treasure chests, answering questions, etc., and at 12 noon on the 21st, rewards will be issued according to the "brewing value" ranking, the higher the ranking, the better the reward, and the top 10,000 players can basically obtain the qualification to buy the Spring Equinox Temperate Wine.
Because of the increase in players participating in this game, Xunfeng official also posted a post on the WeChat public account to remind players to rationally rush the list, because if you want to get the qualification to buy wine, you must spend Yuanbei to buy "Brewing Codex" from other players to obtain additional brewing points, and Yuanbei can only be obtained by shopping in the Xunfeng Market, and many players have to buy more than 2,000 yuan of craft plates, 500 mugs, and 50 yuan of ice cream in the Xunfeng Market in order to obtain a higher ranking.
Unfortunately, there was a major bug in this event, and many players used the bug to brush tens of thousands of brewing values, you must know that 10,000 brewing value requires about 250 brewing codex, or 1250 yuan shells, which means that krypton gold players need to spend thousands of yuan extra to buy two mugs or 20 ice creams to catch up. It is said that some players have used bugs to brush 40,000 brewing values, and if the official does not deal with it, this point will basically directly qualify for alcohol purchase, damaging the fairness of the game and infringing on the interests of normal players.
Like the last 398 Xiaoxun commission incident, Krypton Gold players lost to the game bug again, and many players expressed their desire to complain, but according to the experience of the last complaint, the final compensation plan of the 398 incident was only to give three cups of ice cream, without giving any compensation for game rights, and the editor has no hope for complaints.
Is it illegal to use game bugs to make money?
The answer is yes, in May 2022, a similar case occurred in Jiangyin City, Jiangsu Province, where players were sentenced to criminal punishment for exploiting game loopholes, considering that there are many players who violated this time, and the amount is not large, the possibility of accountability through judicial procedures is very low, but players using bugs to profit must have violated the Xunfeng user agreement.
How should the official deal with it?
Based on the experience of the 398 incident, it is unlikely that the official will turn back. I personally suggest that this incident should appropriately increase the punishment for players who maliciously brush bugs to show warning, and suggest that all players who brush bugs be stopped from participating in the Spring Equinox Brewing Competition, and ban their accounts for a short time.
