In the world of Fantasy Journey to the West, the emergence of the double lock mechanism has caused widespread controversy and discussion among players. Why exactly do we want to add double locks, and is it really for the good of the players?
First, the introduction of the double lock mechanism
Double locking, as the name suggests, is a double lock restriction on certain elements in the game. According to the official explanation, this mechanism is to maintain the fairness of the game, prevent fraud and malicious transactions, and protect the security of players' accounts and game assets.
2. The so-called "good for the players"
From an official point of view, double locks may be thought to provide the following benefits:
- Curb Illegal Transactions: Reduce the likelihood of illegal traders and account thieves gaining access to player property through illegal means by restricting the freedom of trading.
- Balancing the Game Economy: Prevent certain players from rapidly accumulating wealth through unfair trading tactics that upset the economic balance within the game.
However, is this really the case?
3. Players' doubts
Many players have questioned the phrase "for the good of the players".
First of all, the double lock severely restricts the trading freedom of normal players. The precious items that players have obtained through their efforts in the game cannot be traded with other players in a timely and convenient manner due to the double lock, resulting in the inability to circulate resources reasonably and greatly reducing their game experience.
For example, a player who has worked hard for a long time to obtain a piece of equipment is unable to sell it to players who need it when they need it, but can only sit idle in their backpack due to the restrictions of double locks.
Second, double locks don't fundamentally solve the problem of fraud in the game. Scammers are still able to cheat through various means, and the double lock has caused more trouble for normal players.
In addition, for those players who invest a lot of time and money, double locks limit their return on investment and reduce their incentive to continue investing.
Fourth, deep thinking
The original intention of adding double locks to Fantasy Journey to the West may be good, but in the actual implementation process, whether it has really achieved the expected effect and whether the needs and interests of players have been fully considered is a question worth pondering.
Perhaps, between ensuring the fairness of the game and the interests of players, it is necessary to find a more reasonable and balanced solution, rather than simply restricting players' behavior through double locks.
In the end, whether the double lock is for the good of the players or has another hidden meaning needs to be discussed and worked hard by game developers and players to find the best answer that is acceptable to both parties.
