I think the whole game is rather pointless if you think about it that way. But then again it's just a game and somtimes people let it go to far. I mean, no one really cares if you have 30 trophies. It doesn't make you a better person, it won't get you anywhere in life... just all seems rather pointless to spend hours and hours on neopets.
I once was asked why I spent money to play a game in the arcade, the same one that I had at home. My response was, "Because of the people I can meet."
Unfortunately Neopets has become a hostile place for those of us who just want to have some hassle-free fun, meet people who share the same interest and maybe share experiences. The Neoboards are now full of report happy snots, the neomails are strictly filtered, and well, the games are glitchy as is a good portion of the code, which seems to suffer from technican-itis and only gets really bad when the support staff take a day or two off.
If all of this bothers you, yes, it's time to pack up the bags and call it quits, because frankly, it won't get much better until the site does one of two things.. go to pay-to-play or listen to the players. Which do you think will come first?
Amazing what one can come up with when one is given a cardboard box and a roll of duct-tape!
