Neopian Times

In the editorial they mentioned a neocash item that was 5,000 NC (which would be $50) and that someone actually bought it. Does anyone recall seeing this item and what it was? I looked through the store but I didn't see it. Could be I overlooked it.

It's a "Down with NC" flag, and they still sell it under Trinkets.

Oh gosh. No wonder. It's kinda hideous - I can't imagine anyone buying it for $50!

Well, some people are really mad at the changes...too bad they have to spend so much money to show it, though.

I saw one user with it. Said it was the best $50 they ever spent.

According to the Times, several people have bought it. An ironic way of protesting the mall and increasingly commercialization of the site.

Very ironic. I find it quite humorus.

So wait.. they're paying money, which will help the NC Mall, to say they hate the NC Mall.... o_0 much?

Exactly. It's extremely ironic and hilarious.

Kudos to TNT for being willing to put that thing on sale in the first place.

I always get the feeling that most of the staff on the site side don't really like the commercialization of neopets any more than we do.

Actually, I think they kind of alluded/referred to that in this week's NT Editorial. They mentioned they get really hurt when users bash things they've been working overtime on.

Very true. Even if you don't like a new feature, TNT spend quite a bit of time on it!

Yeah I remember when they first introduced the mall and I was outraged, the one bright spot was seeing that shining example that TNT's sense of humor was still intact.

Now I know what to do with the NC I won from Qasalan Expel. I just have to win another 33 times or so to save enough to get it...

Well good luck with that. Winning once takes enough luck!
