"Why not just buy from the Treasure Pavilion? There's guaranteed authenticity, and it won't cost much more in points."
"It's embarrassing to see talented martial warriors from all over the universe fighting over the pills from the Constellation Society just for a few points."
…
There were all kinds of comments on the internal web. They were filled with jealousy and sarcasm.
However, nobody paid much attention to these remarks. Those who intended to buy would still buy because the deal was too good to pass up. Anyone who didn't buy was an idiot.
They didn't care whether it was embarrassing or not to save points. What they did know was that if their strength lagged behind others, it would be genuinely embarrassing.
Some people were envious and wondered how many points the Constellation Society had earned.
"The Constellation Society is amazing. It's formed by new students but it skyrocketed to fame."
