But what I ment to write in short is that if you don't like what's going on on the site, then don't play it. It's right that there are lots of merchendicing in the site, but without it, there wil be no site! It is unfair the you have to pay to get a better quality site, with a couple of additions, but if you don't support it, then don't play the game. And remeber, it's a game...


EXACTLY!!

I dont care if they sell stuff ..


I like it :D the plushies are cute, the games are fun, the juice is probably good, They are trying to make players OFF the site happy too, glitches happen! and just like pretty much everyone else said, its a GAME.

The McDonalds toys are just adorable, why do people complain?
The in-store stuff is just fun!

I completely agree with you there, movies do it all the time and no one bats an eyelid so why shouldnt neo do the same?! And i know that my daughter will be so happy on her birthday when she can actually cuddle her neopet!!

Glitches happen? yes, but there is a limit. People get hit by trading post glitches, game glitches, shop glitches, auction glitches (that one i am one of), safe deposit glitches, lab glitches,....

And some monitors are less than forgiving....

Yep. I agree with this. I have 3 flash game trophies that I got with Hard Work! That statement just gets me mad. :x

First of all, not all people who get topscores are cheaters. It usually takes a lot of work and good planning (like getting highscores at the start of the month right after the toplist is cleared)
...but...
A lot of people getting topscores Are cheaters. Especially the games that require being smart instead of fast, it is possible to write software that finds the solution for you. But also it is possible to cheat on flash games without 'breaking into' the game. There are programs available that play games for you much better than any person could do.

I'm not accusing anyone, I'm just saying it happens. And sometimes it's pretty obvious too. If I've spend weeks perfecting my technique to play a certain game, and I still get a score that's only 1% of the scores in the toplist it's pretty obvious that those people use cheat programs. Luckily there are still enough games where you can get in the toplist and earn trophies without resorting to cheat programs

It's P.E.T.A. actually, People eating tasty animals.

In truth he does have some goods points Neopets is completely about the money anymore i understand that if you come up with something like this you want to make money off of it but you don't have to be so money hungry as to destroy the game. Neopets used to be tons and tons of fun. It's been getting steadily less and less so. I remember when 1million neopoints was a LOT and could buy most anything. But now because neopets lets inflation run wild etc. you can't really buy jack squat for a million thats worth it. Except maybe a lab map or somethin.

Understandly Neopets shouldn't put all the money it makes back into the sight. Nor, at the same time should they try to further increase how much they make at their players expense.

Recently i also remember reading an e-mail to neopets about a certain staff member taking bribes. Then neopets said that if they heard from that person again they would take legal action. Not to mention they also said "You are only one user, go ahead and leave we won't notice."

The authenticity of the abovementioned email was highly questionable, so you shouldn't use it to substantiate your views.

Lol, people from PETA aren't that stupid...

Anyway, this isn't the first time this guy did this... I saw it months ago and caught a screenshot of the gamescore (he had a trophy in all of them except the last two...)

I believe that this has been discussed enough to the point that I feel it needs to be locked. Because this person will continue posting this on Neo, I honestly believe that this thread is giving this person extra unecessary airtime.
