Are you saying that you sold all of these maps and can't earn anymore because of it or something untill you converet it???
If thats the case, that's totaly unfair AGAIN towards WC Map Piece Players.
Once again everyone, if this is the case, RESTOCKERS AND AUTOBUYERS get the upperhand while we gamers, players who play this for fun or for a 'living' are being nailed to the wall and leaving to be hung to dry.

Correct me if I am wrong, but it only gives you that message if you have put all you pieces into the map but haven't converted it.
This makes sense, because there is no room left to put another piece.
There is nothing stopping you from taking all the pieces (or just a couple) out to continue winning pieces for that map.

That would make sense only if the pieces were being put into the picture as they were awarded. They should just award another piece of the current picture to your inventory. That was the only benefit I saw to this inventory thing, but they didn't fix it!
I've been keeping my pieces in my SDB or shop because they can be PIN'ed there.

I didn't know prizes could be so bad!
I accidently clicked convert...I didn't even mean to...on my terror mountain piece. Lo and behold, I only got a Mirgle and 2k!

I've gotten the same Tyrannia 1 piece 5 times in a row =/

I still haven't played any games, I've played Snowball 2 like 6 times in the month or whatever now it's been this has happened. I usually play Snowball just to earn points for my Leveling and stuff, but I refuse to play games like I did not untill they get this fixed.
I really enjoyed playing WC for fun, it wasn't my way of making money but it was my way of competing on this site and stood a fair chance. Now I, like everyone else basically, stands no chance. PLUS all of you are getting the same pieces all the time now and getting errors along with other stuff.
WC is no longer fun for me when you keep getting the same stuff.

Okay, is it just me, or are full maps not selling anymore? I've had a Faerieland 2 up all day and a Tyrannia 3 for a week, and no one has even offered on either. My maps used to sell in less than an hour. I've talked to some other people and they aren't having any luck either, even though we've all been lowering our prices. I think it's because the great pbs -- Darigan, Faerie, Maraquan -- seemingly aren't being given out anymore, not even by series 3 (series 2 used to give all of those out occasionally).
I don't understand why TNT would make it harder to earn pieces and also make the top prizes worse... they really do just want to kill World Challenges, don't they?

Cranberry, the last map I sold was a haunted woods 1. They used to sell in a few hours of putting the map on the TP. This last one took me over 2 weeks to sell!
I did finally complete haunted woods 1 and converted ... got a checkered pb

But the thought of trying to sell the map and all the time it's taken me to finally get that last piece (I have triplicates and quadruples of some pieces now) was enough for me to say what the heck, convert the darn thing.
I am trying to slowly sell the individual pieces in my shop and I'm pricing them at the lowest on the ssw - at least atm I'm pricing - they're not moving at all.
TNT, if any of you are reading all of this PLEASE do something! Leave it that we can only earn 3 pieces per day, fine. And keep it so you can't win 2 pieces in one hour (as in entering more than one WC per hour for pieces) ... But please just have all the games, none of the rotating and please, please, please put the pieces in our map, not randomly in our inventory. Oh, and get rid of that separate page we have to go to to even enter. Let us just click the icon under each game. Please?
I liked (note past tense) the WC, not just for map pieces, but because it was my way of challenging myself to try to do a little bit better at some of the games. My motivation for that is now gone.

I was just looking at the WCs and I hope that TNT is taking note that it seems nobody is playing them anymore. The most players I saw signed up to a game was 4, and most of them had no competitors at all. The way things are going, the WCs might as well be scrapped; since it seems to be what TNT is trying to do.

Yea, I havent bothered playing wc since the new changes went into effect. Neopia Central Pieces always were hard to sell to begin with, and now with this, its just not worth it to play wc anymore.
By the way, I'm interested in buying krawk island wc pieces, if any of you have trouble selling those.

It's because of the three-piece limit... everyone wins their three pieces and then just stops playing. I guess TNT tried to counter this by allowing us to enter as many times as we want so we could get points on the score tables, but seriously, no one cares about those stupid things. They don't give rewards or anything. Gamers already have a hard enough time making NP; we're not going to sit around playing the same game over and over when we're not getting anything out of it.
Everconfused, I think it's fine that we can do two WCs at once -- I'll frequently enter the destructo and volcano run WCs in the same hour and get two pieces. You're still limited to three pieces per day, so I don't see why it matters if you get all three in one hour or if you spread it out over three hours. They only things I think really NEED changing are: pieces should go into the gallery, not your inventory (so NO DOUBLES), and the games should either not be rotated at all or should rotate every hour instead of every day. I don't see how either of these things would make the WC unfair, and I really, honestly just don't understand why TNT insists on sticking with this horrible, hated system.

Yes it's me again once again to complain... I hate the new feed florg. As if it wasn't bad enough that they made the avie. Now with the new game I can't even get an avie on the few times this game comes around while others are getting 3 peices every day. like this surferboy_17 dude in games that are NOT rotated. Like I said before if they must rotate the games rotate them ALL not just a few so that they have days that isn't a breeze for them to get peices. I have to work really hard for the onse I earn and they keep messing up my games.
