The Dark Side of Honkai Gakuen 2 Ops: Exploiting Bugs to Milk the Remaining Playerbase?

Recently, a player shared a detailed critique on the NGA community regarding the latest controversy in 'Honkai Gakuen 2'. The core of the issue is the operator, nicknamed 'Mackerel' (青花鱼), and their handling of a known gear bug. Players allege that a bug reported months ago was kept in the game until the very last hours of a banner, purposely leading players to spend currency and materials to 'max out' the equipment, only for the dev team to label it a 'bug' and patch it immediately after the sales window closed. Many believe this was a calculated move to squeeze revenue from loyal players, with suspicions growing that the developers have essentially given up on the game.

The community response has been polarized. Some veterans are exhausted and indifferent, simply choosing to uninstall, while others are furious at the manipulative tactics. The comment section is also highly volatile, with frequent mentions of 'Mi-wei-bing' (a slang term for extreme defenders of miHoYo) who are accused of shielding the company from criticism. The discussion even devolved into infighting over community culture and tribalism, with various users debating whether these grievances reflect historical issues or are simply new manifestations of toxic fan behavior.
