I played legit for over 10 years, and managed to make a decent amount of NP going legit via restocking, FC, and stocks, as well as hoarding old quest items and selling them yearsss down the road. I do think it's entirely possible. I just became frustrated and felt like I've hit a brick wall.

I gompletely agree. I worked hard for 10 years and made a decent amount but I felt like as fast as I could make NP my goals would slip faster out of my reach. UC dreams are literally impossible without a bit of creative playing.
*completely sorry!

Originally when I started cheating, it was a combination of boredom and seeing items get devalued by being given away for free. I couldn't keep up with what was considered worth restocking at that point.

Now if I do start cheating again, it's because the restocking system has completely gone to the dogs so the amount of items that are actually profitable is so small, it's almost not worth playing without cheating. The flash games are still fun but what I originally signed up for is pretty much dead now.

As others have said, I just don't really see where the enjoyment comes from in playing legit any more. I get much more enjoyment out of trying to figure out how Neopets works on a technical level and try to use that to my advantage. I suppose when I put it like that it could be any game, but Neopets has a good community of like minded people, plus it has the nostalgia factor for me.

What an interesting feed to read through!! I'm a chicken and my acct is mostly legit. I have been known to pay USD for an expensive item or two that i can sell.

I found this website because I recently returned to Neopets with a brand new attack and I was really bummed out when I found out that earning 50k a day with Ghoul Catchers isn’t possible anymore.

I got frozen while playing legit and when I finally got my account back, I'd missed a bunch of stuff and was feeling petty and bitter and thought 'well if they're gonna freeze me for cheating, might as well actually do it.'

Being frozen while being a legit player. Once it happened twice I figured I might as well live large since the threat of being frozen is there regardless.

Definitely for AC. I was on the official forums and saw people complaining about some site of cheaters and got interested. 
Still too chicken to AB.

I don't use AB or anything, but I made 30mil and traded my way up to UCs and then got my account hacked and have never gotten it back. I miss the site but didn't want to start from scratch, so...black market.

Hello (and long time no see to many of the admins who still remember me!)

I was a script kiddy that happened to enjoy playing Neopets. Played since the very beginning for about 4 years.
I won the Neopian Lottery, around 4.6 mill.
Around 3 months later, my account got iced unexpectedly, which still to this day they haven't given me a valid reason as to why…

After deep-diving into finding the CEO’s email address, I emailed him my situation. He replied stating there was nothing he could do, and I could always create a new account and start again.

Fuming at the response, I emailed back saying “Let the games begin!” and I did exactly that, with ‘multiple’ new accounts, all similar usernames.

I used Visual Basic & .NET as my partner in crime to create multiple auto’ers, bots, etc to play all the games simultaneously and put my new accounts Rank 1-10 on all high score boards on Neopets.

I then emailed the CEO again and told him to lookout for me and I provided my usernames so he can see what I had created.

The accounts got iced. He emailed me back saying that I was being unprofessional. I responded by saying not dealing with my legit account that was iced for no reason was unprofessional.

I never received another email from him again. But I continued to plague his business for many years after.

I then came across 3volutions where I met Frosty, Elz, BarCode and many others. BarCode at that time was doing very similar auto’ers and posting them to 3volutions for regular users to cheat their way through Neo-life. So I did the same. I provided some of my own, shared knowledge with BarCode and then…..3volutions was hacked! (Debatable as some say it was Elz, where as Elz and others say that Elz account and gmail got hacked)

That was kinda the end game for 3volutions, and the site never really recovered. So I looked elsewhere for a group that did similar, but although I found Neocodex, I never really felt at home here. So I’ve never stayed active. But I do drop in every so many years to see if people are still around :)

It’s kinda strange though, I have to create a new account every time I return with the exact same username - as if the database has had a clean out. Ahhwell.

Much love,

Sincro

'Cus I got better things to do than grind on a site that might hit the ground soon. Like, binge-watching shows or something, idk.

I've been playing neopets since Dec 2001!  I just reached my 20 year milestone. I played legit for all those years and just recently within the past 3 months turned to other methods of making game play easier on here. I still play mostly legit, but theres games like slots where I just don't feel like sitting here for 500 spins clicking each spin.

1) After coming back there's so many other people doing it that you have to in order to be competitive for trophies as opposed to 2005 when few people knew how to do it.

 

2) A fair number of users have had pets turned back into UCs and when I put in a ticket and got shot down, it didn't matter if I was frozen. I had been saving up for a paint brush that I liked with the UC artwork and I can't find any color that looks good with my pet and it's stupid pose now. They just don't appear to have any personality to them. 

 

3) 3 of my 4 accounts were emptied out of items and NP, probably due to the database leak. I'm at least going to get back to where I was. May stop at that point or when they trash the flash games.

 

As a side note, if anyone has a way to UC a pet shoot me a message. =)

I only have one that I'm looking to change back

I'm big into NC and customizing and I was having a hard time trading for some HTF items, so I decided to buy them instead :p

Altador cup way too cumbersome. Also, I am not very good at games. I am excited that maybe TNT will release some very rare older stamps
