Chapter 1083
People had been playing many RPG games before virtual reality games entered the market. It was undeniable that the number of players playing RPG games had significantly decreased upon the advent of Athenae. Regardless, the number of RPG players had already been on a constant decline even before Athenae appeared. Such a trend was quite sad.
The main reason for this was macro, often called auto-hunting. It involved hunting automatically on their computers. These auto-hunting characters began to occupy all of the dungeons, fields, and hunting grounds in the game.
The gaming companies tried to stop auto-hunting, but they could not find a way. Because of that, players, who were reserved about the increase in characters auto-hunting, began to leave one after another.
Just imagine the feelings of someone doing their best and struggling to hunt monsters to level up for six hours, only to see characters auto-hunting. It would feel like their six hours of hard work were all for naught. After all, an auto-hunting character could easily turn things around without doing anything.
This was the reason why the honest and hardworking players chose to leave the game and shelve them.
But the virtual reality game Athenae was different. Auto-hunting could not be done inside this game. This was his response when a reporter asked President Kang Taehoon about auto-hunting and how it ruined online games.
–If you want to try doing it, then feel free to do so.
That was how confident President Kang was about his game. Of course, not a single player in Athenae was able to do auto-hunting.
Minhyuk’s new power, the clone bird, was similar to auto-hunting. After all, it allowed Minhyuk to acquire what the clone bird had hunted.
