The age group of players in the World of Heroes was mainly between 18 and 30 years old.
Among them, players between 18 and 25 years old made up 46.86% of the total player population. Players between 25 and 30 years old made up 37.96% of the total player population.
The total number of players in these two age groups was about 85% of the total player population in the World of Heroes. They were the absolute backbone of the World of Heroes.
However, the restriction of the International School Championship was that only players from the school groups were allowed to participate.
A large portion of players between 25 and 30 years old did not meet the requirements to join the school group.
At the same time, a large portion of players between 18 and 25 years old did not meet the requirements to join the school group.
This situation was considered better in Xia Xia.
Because Xia Xia's school had adopted a strategy of mass enrollment, it had basically solved the problem of popularizing university students.
Therefore, in the Xia Xia region, most players met the requirements to join the school group.
However, overseas, the situation was reversed.
Many overseas universities didn't have the concept of expanding their enrollment.
Moreover, overseas universities had very high tuition fees. Many families could not afford it.
Therefore, among the overseas players, many players did not meet the requirements to join the school group.
This group of players was not willing to be excluded from the International School Championship. The rewards of the International School Championship were very rich, especially the attribute rewards. They were far better than any equipment or cash rewards.
Attribute bonuses could be permanently tied to the player, and the bonus would continue to exist even after the player reached the highest level.
With such rich rewards, how could the players who could not participate be willing to give up?
The players who did not meet the requirements to join the school group learned from the super player Storm. They protested on the official forum of the World of Heroes and complained to the main system at the customer service center.
The reasons used by these players were also based on the super player Storm's reasons. It was also discrimination.
In this group of players, there was a very famous player. He was a super player from Lijian Province. He was the Priest of Holy Light who had supported Dream Entertainment.
The Priest of Holy Light was also a tycoon. However, he was not as rich as Storm.
The Priest of Holy Light's family was involved in the construction and renovation industry.
Although the Priest of Holy Light's family did not lack money, the Priest of Holy Light did not enter any school.
As a result, the Holy Light High Priests were unable to meet the requirements to join the school group. Thus, they were directly rejected by the International School Championship.
How could Holy Light and Divine Light be willing to accept this?
In order to participate in the competition, the Priest of Holy Light followed what he had done before the storm and posted a complaint in the World of Heroes' official player forum in his own name.
…
"Discrimination still exists in the International School Championship!"
To the CEO of Dream Entertainment, Mr. Shi Lei,
I am a player from Lijian Province, a Holy Light Priest. Due to some special circumstances, I did not study in any high school.
He disdained to use any cheating methods to enter a certain school and obtain the qualification to participate in the School Championship Competition.
Regarding the International School Championship, I feel that there is still discrimination.
However, the discrimination had changed from regional discrimination to academic discrimination.
Just as the Storm Brothers had said, Dream Entertainment was a company that was responsible, ambitious, and cared about its players.
I sincerely hope that Dream Entertainment will eliminate the existence of this discriminatory policy.
Whether it was students or graduates of high schools, or players who had never studied in high schools, they were all players of the World of Heroes. They should receive fair treatment and not receive unequal treatment because of their academic qualifications.
Although there was no real fairness in this world.
The greatest fairness was unfairness.
However, in the World of Heroes, the majority of the players unanimously hoped that the World of Heroes would adhere to its bottom line.
We can accept that the World of Heroes sold premium items to increase the competitiveness of the players due to its operational needs. We can also accept that some players obtained the qualification to be an internal beta tester and were ahead of the majority of the players.
This was the survival strategy of the game company. The game company also needed to make money.
However, we cannot accept that the game company adopted discriminatory policies in an environment that should be treated fairly!
We hope to receive the most basic of fair treatment. We hope to have the opportunity to compete fairly. We hope to receive the game company's respect!
…
The problem of discrimination was everywhere!
Shi Lei originally considered the problem of specialized schools and specially allowed specialized schools and even private schools to participate in the competition.
However, Shi Lei forgot about the non-academy players. This was the School Championship Competition. Why would non-academy players feel conflicted?
However, Shi Lei indeed did not consider it properly. Regardless of whether they were academy players or non-academy players, they all needed to be treated fairly. This was a basic issue of the game's fair environment.
For example, in the World of Heroes, there was no such thing as class suppression. Every class could defeat any class.
It was completely dependent on the player's skill level and not their attributes.
It was similar to a certain game developed by a certain company. Because the CEO's son liked the Mage class, they specially strengthened the Mage class.
As a result, in a certain game, the Mage players were abnormally powerful. They could insta-kill anyone they saw.
Even the tank warriors were no match for the Mage.
In that game, the Mage players were respectfully called "Master Mages" by the majority of the players!
If the World of Heroes had a similar class bias, it would be difficult for the World of Heroes to develop.
Shi Lei also tried his best to maintain the basic fairness of the game.
Even if Dream Entertainment was preparing to release premium items, the players who bought the official items still could not be invincible.
When ordinary players had the advantage of numbers, the money warriors would still fall under the human wave tactic.
The Priest of Holy Light's post quickly received responses from the majority of the players.
Actually, before the Priest of Holy Light, there were other players who had made complaints and suggestions.
However, those players were not very famous and could not receive the support of the majority of the players.
The Priest of Holy Light was very famous. Although he could not be compared to the super rich Storm, the Priest of Holy Light still had a very high reputation.
Once his complaint post was posted, it immediately received a response from the majority of the players.
It had almost the same popularity as Storm's post.
Within an hour after Storm's complaint post was posted, Dream Entertainment made adjustments to their activities.
Many players had originally thought that the Priest of Holy Light's post would receive the same treatment as Storm's.
Unfortunately, they had misunderstood!
Although Izur had monitored the specific situation and analyzed the details, such a situation was not an emergency.
Shi Lei was sleeping. Unless it was an emergency, Izur would not inform Shi Lei. Naturally, Shi Lei would not know about the situation in the Hero's World.
Therefore, the players who could not participate in the International School Championship were a little frustrated.
After an hour, Dream Entertainment's activities did not change.
After two hours, Dream Entertainment still did not have the intention to change the rules of the event.
As time passed, Dream Entertainment remained silent.
A large number of overseas players waited anxiously. Then, a large number of complaints came in.
The customer service center received tens of thousands of complaints almost every minute. The total number of complaints received had exceeded one million.
Moreover, the number of complaints continued to increase. It seemed that the situation was getting worse.
It was six in the morning in Lijian Province. It was six in the evening in the Lijian Province.
The Priest of Holy Light was getting impatient. He had originally believed that Dream Entertainment would make adjustments and accept all players into the International School Championship.
However, as time passed, the Priest of Holy Light started to have doubts.
Most of the time, Dream Entertainment would not give any face to the players. Unless there was a constructive suggestion, Dream Entertainment would only accept it.
The Priest of Holy Light refreshed the official website. He thought to himself, This shouldn't be!
Even Storm's suggestion was approved. There's no reason why my suggestion is not approved!
It was seven in the morning on May 15th. It was seven in the morning in the Hero's World.
The number of complaints in the customer service center exceeded three million. Izur's logical thinking module automatically gave the players an explanation.
Izur did not make an announcement in the Hero's World. Instead, he used his secret weapon and logged into the account of 'Mysterious Game Insider'. He then made a post on the official forum.
…
"A letter to all the players who are complaining!"
Hello, everyone!
Long time no see!
It had been a long time since the last time he met with everyone.
I wonder if any of my friends miss me.
The 'Mysterious Game' is now the 'Hero's World'.
Please congratulate me. After a long journey in Africa, I managed to escape from Dream Entertainment's pursuit. Now, I'm free again. I'm preparing to expose this news.
This time, I'm not going to expose this news. I just want to remind everyone of one thing, which is to pay attention to the time difference.
Dream Entertainment's headquarters is in Shuangqing City in the Hero's World.
Although it's seven in the evening in my area, it should be seven in the morning in the area where Dream Entertainment's headquarters is located.
This time is not Dream Entertainment's working hours.
Even if you scream your lungs out, Dream Entertainment's officials will not care about you.
You should ask Dream Entertainment to set up an overseas branch so that it's easier to deal with your problems.
Goodbye!
…
Izur's simulated tone in the post was no different from a human's. It was almost the same.
If one did not know in advance that Izur was only an advanced pseudo-artificial intelligence system, they would only use communication tools to contact Izur. Unless Izur took the initiative to remind them.
Otherwise, they would not be able to tell if Izur was human.
This was Izur, an advanced pseudo-artificial intelligence system. It was almost like a human pseudo-artificial intelligence system!
A pseudo-artificial intelligence system was already so powerful. What about a real artificial intelligence system?
