Today a thought arose in my mind, and I couldn’t help but want to share it.

The plummet of the revenue of Rafayel’s myth has already begun, and it has been a rather significant drop, and we all know it is going to continue to drop further in the coming days.

The antis are watching the revenue, so, they are literally going to be watching as their desperate effort to prove that they can financially support the game on their own sinks. Remember, because of all of the one time funds they pulled from this is the most they will ever be able to fund a banner with, and they will literally never be able to match this best ever again.

Over the next 12 days the antis are going to watch as the revenue plummets. They are going to have to watch the proof that they have no financial power. And though they will continue to be delusional about it, that is what they will be watching.

And then, come September 1st, the kids will go back to school, and the CN antis will be greatly handicapped as the new laws cone into effect, which will in turn leave the antis with no social power either.

Rafayel’s myth was the beginning of the end for the antis, and it looks like they are too delusional to even see it.

Been seeing a LOT of girlies on the TL talk about the Gamescon picture, specifically how, "all the signs are pointing!" Many were celebrating early!

Imma Valko main, he is the only reason why I downloaded this game and want him back so I can continue the main story I got invested in in the few days I played in anticipation of him. I want him back BAD.

Not trying to bring down the mood. Not trying to dash hopes. Not saying there is not a possibility.

HOWEVER, all of this stuff pointed out? Can be easily explained with other things.

The 6th area with the arch in the floor? Could be for a individual room for merch, or a special booth where you can take pictures with the 5 Cosers. Could also be a spot advertising something new in the game besides Valko.

Also the chain next to the sign? It looks different from the chains on the ACTUAL sign imo. So likely it could just have been hanging there before they put up the banner. Unless there is a before pic, we don't know.

For full disclosure, after Valko was pretty much booed out of existence after 7 days, I doubt they would release him, a still controversial character, during one of their biggest expos of the year only 2 months after he was canceled.

I keep seeing people say the low earnings for the new banner are because "the economy is worse this year." and that argument doesn't make sense to me tbh

Banner	Day 1 Revenue	Day 2 Revenue
Raf 3rd Myth	$2M	$1.9M
Raf 4th Myth	$1.2M	$725k

That's a 40% drop on Day 1 and a 62% drop on Day 2. That's not an economy problem, that's a boycott problem

The economy argument doesn't even make sense in the big picture

• CN economy isn't collapsing. China's economy is gradually recovering. It's not exactly booming, but it's not crashing out like it is for the rest of us.
• Gacha revenue is at an all-time high. If the economy was the issue, we'd be seeing this across the board, not just in one game.
• People spend MORE on vices during economic downturns. Alcohol, gambling, gacha, it's all coping money. If anything, you'd expect spending to go up, not down.

The boycott is working. The numbers don't lie. The "economy" excuse is just a convenient way to ignore what's actually happening.
