Instead of new content continually being added to the site, more attention should be paid to the technical running of the site. Although I adore new items, games, and what have-you, it is more important to me that the site run efficiently. We shouldn't have to worry every time we log on whether or not our shops are going to be gone, or our avatars, trophies, NPs, well you get the picture....
I don't think it's that important whether we get new and improved pre-game loaders, or whether Faerie Bubbles gets a new font. But it IS important that items and neopoints don't get lost in 'glitches'. It IS important that players don't get automatically frozen by auto-freeze programs (and yes, I know, Shroomy said last month that there are no auto-freeze programs, but I don't buy it -- not when users are frozen within 5 seconds of submitting high game scores). Lastly, it IS important that all of our account information stay secure and not subject to glitches that reveal passwords and email addresses.
I agree full heartedly. Lots of people just play Neopets as a game, but there are a lot of people who take it rather seriously... and losing a shop or an SDB... it's like going bankrupt for no reason. Granted, there may be things we don't know about... but a part of me is thinking that TNT should be thinking less about product endorsements and more about the site itself.
I've noticed that a bunch of the games have been redone... and that's great and all, but why not focus attention on the glitches. People leaving the site is worrying me... I, as I'm sure a lot of you, spend hours playing and training and restocking and collecting. To see all that gone in a matter of seconds because of a problem in the database move... or maybe because someone was too busy dreaming up the next overpriced plush doll to notice something was wrong... it's not cool.
And yes, there are people who are going to defend the TNT. And like I said, there may be things that we just don't know about... problems and the such. But still, it's rather tragic seeing people lose what they've worked so hard for.
