While I understand the reason for the new code, I'm finding it awfully hard to read. Sometimes it's so swirled up I can't tell C from G and things like that. O_o

Edit: Typos are fuuun! ^_^

Me too, sometimes 9 looks like G, and stuff... I bet a good code would GC9... :roll:

And he would post these randomly, in lots of different boards. Yet, I took no screen shots of it, so I suppose most of you won't believe me. That was a while back, anyway.

And I've had some conversations with him before, and he wasn't exactly nice to me. So I probably hold a grudge against him in some way, anyway. So I suppose I exaggerated when I said he should be frozen in lots of ways. But he does at least deserve a warning for his old spamming. He can deny it, but I was a witness...


Really? I never knew that..his petpages shows he has a faerie slingshot.


What does that have to do with anything? And what exactly is a faerie slingshot?

It showed it on his screenies, its a really rare bd weapon, capable of doing 56 icons! And its impossible to buy!

Maybe I'll be able to RS again... *looks closely at blurred code* or maybe no

I'm sure someone will figure out a way around this.

I'm just glad for the mass freezings. Makes me feel better as a legitimate restocker.

Restocking is 10X easier now. I found out what an autobuyer is :). *Walks to the magic shop*

what exactly is different about the new code? i havent rs in about 2 months, ever since the ab became popular :roll: it's no fun anymore :(

It's... swirly for lack of a better word. The letters are distorted and sometimes they're hard to tell apart.

Jazz doesn't even restock -____-;

And good tracking down the ABers .. restocking got a bit easier! great job TNT :D

Yipeeeee! What's an auto-buyer though? How can they auto buy things? :thinking:

It's a machine that can automatically type in the amout for the item, and automatically type the code to buy the item. It can do all this before you even get past the haggle page.

An autobuyer is a program that is designed to recognize certain items in the neopian shops, and automatically fill in a value for the offered price of those items.

To get around the restock check image, they also had text recognition software built in. They were a few milliseconds faster than humans, and thus could purchase items before us lowly normal honest folk would have a chance.

They are, it should go without saying, against the rules.

That's a good thing Neo freeze people who use them. I just can't beleive some peopel are using them...

Unfortunately, it's the truth. :( I've heard rumours about people slowing the software down so that the scripts can catch them as easily. I suppose the swirly code is a good thing though. We have a few days until newer autobuyers come out to dominate the market yet again.

even legitimate restocker got frozen

This afternoon i came on and discovered i was frozen. First thing was shock, i played by the rules and couldn't imagine what i have done wrong. Reading on, i discovered they accused me of using an 'auto buyer' to buy things from Neopet shops. A term which i never heard of until today. (i'm a frog in the well) i only remembered buying quite a number of things which i haggled with the shopkeepers vigoriously. Most of the time, I tried to haggle the prices, costing me time thus I don't even understand how they connect me with an auto buyer. By the speed which i bought them or the amount of things? o_O (i'm only on broadband.) i'm only trying to restock my shop and furnish my home.

Thanks to shapu for the explanation of autobuyers. I'm glad neopets are doing something, but i really can't figure out by what standards they use to determine cheats. I never manage to get the ultra rare things from the main shops because i was slow. i only manage to get some partially rare things when they have a stock of more than ard 5. I'm too depressed and lethargic now to do anything. Hoping for a reply from neopets, but i've read from forum that the chances are slim unless you've connections....

:cry: (having red eyes.......)
