Words from Designers:
Dear players, thank you all for supporting our game all this time. However, we noticed that some players went AFK in battles and had an ill impact on the gaming experience of other players, which violated our notion of creating a fair and positive gaming environment. Therefore, we will enhance the penalties and take severer measures to restrain those players with low credit score. We sincerely hope that everyone can enjoy the competition in a positive gaming environment.
