With the caption: Paying to open a treasure chest is ZT Online's lottery, "like a casino slot machine."

That right there is fucking brilliant. BRILLIANT I TELL YOU.

Fuck, I wish I'd thought of it.

Like ZT Online creator Shi Yuzhu says, this is a game well-suited to the rich. In this world, the authority to bully others and the legal right to harm them are both for sale.

I guess it's clear what people really want out of life.  <cue Conan>

Title doesn't seem to match the article. After I finished reading it, I wondered what took this woman so long to realize that the goal of the 'system' is to milk them for all they're worth? Comparing it to real world is pathetic, nobody put a gun on your head to play it, yet she did it anyway cause she already plunked a lot of cash to play with the big boys. If this system is so horrid, why are some people still hooked? Play2Crush with heavy RMT is bound to fail in the West, but China embraces it? Wtf?  swamp poop

Quoted from the article:
"When she was online, Lu Yang liked to chat with her friends and organize clan or faction activities. Killing was limited to protecting the caravans of her subjects. She detested those "highwaymen" who lay in wait on the borders to slaughter the common people and seize their caravans. Nerf and Slayerik."
