I would never play legit ever again. Reasons listed below. Short version in tl;dr

Long Story

Spoiler

I hate that feeling when after a year of painful restraint from spending your hard earned neopoints (solely from flash games), your bank doesn't even reach 300K NP.
I hate that feeling when after completing a Taelia Quest, I feel proud from getting 2000 NP profit
I hate that feeling when after doing my dailies, I lose around 2000 NP (this was before the wheels were revamped and were giving away NP like it was nothing)
I hate that feeling when I go to the NeoBoards to have a fun chat, rich people complain not having a complete HT BD set is poor
I hate that feeling when I spend so much days in the year on Neo doing my best to get as much NP as possible legitimately, someone else gets 10m without even trying (legit or not, it doesn't matter)

I started legit, and I played legit for years, I wouldnt use program manager now, if I just started playing I'd cheat. However, I have bought pets on here for other, and some nc, which is not legit.

there was a time when i was a legit rser before for like 2-3 months. i was getting decent money at the chocolate shop, but i hated how i would have to wait a long time for an rs. sitting for hours rsing in this game is just not worth it even if you are getting a lot of np. i enjoy games like this better if i cheat. only games i enjoy without cheating are games real time strategy games. but thats just me, some others find enjoyment sitting down endlessly in front of the computer playing.

[MoriNoRyu]

Helllll no. I started legit and immediately got frustrated. I'm amazed that I ever managed to do every daily, now I can't be bothered to do most of them.

i feel for you man, when i first started playing neo when i was like 10-12 maybe and jeasus it was different back then, 100k was alot of monies. i remember when i won 10k on the wheel of excitement and i was so happy lol what a loser haha. when i got bored last year i gambled about 80mil lol, gave everything away then got my self froze. (got the 80mil illegit using hash's) i dunno when i get stuff illiget it just doesnt feel the same if you know what i mean. like when i did NQ2 legit the first time it was a good feeling getting to the end, then when ive done it since cheating its just like meh.

Could probably live off of food club/stocks pretty comfortably now.

I just like seeing a buttload of dosh in the bank.

[Frank274]

I played legit for the first 5 years of my accounts history. I've only been cheating for about 2 years now.

[Turnip]

Of course I would~ The stock market is pretty awesome ^^


Although I have a feeling that this answer might change once I actually do start cheating and stuff!!

[zandra]

nope, unless everybody also have the same connection speed and distance from TNT as me. almost impossible for me to get a R80 stamp manually.

If noone else would cheat, game would be super fun and I would play legit and enjoy much more..

yeh thats what i think to, when i see the mega rich players i know most of them have cheated, obviously not all. players like xxxx and featheralley just played clever early and bought up all the rare items like hyno helmet (h4k) faerie pb ect. but if no one cheated it would be so more balanced and more fun. lol never going to happen though

[Jiayu]

Playing legit is a giant time sink that just isn't worth it to me, so I definitely would not play Neopets anymore if that's what it came down to.

[Mishatu]

Playing legit isn't so bad for me any more, ever since I started playing Habi. 100k a day + from just letting it run? Hell yes!

[Turkeyducks]

Maybe I'm just crazy, but if everyone played legit I'd probably still cheat just so I could rs more stuff. lol

But I've also been playing the site for 10+ years legit, and don't have the time for that now. Maybe if it were like the old days when 100k was a ton, but now unless you have hours of time to devote to the site daily, you're never going to accomplish anything unless you cheat.

[onlyme]

i played legit for a while (around three years) and am pretty sure that i wouldn't play neo at all anymore if i hadn't found codex and it's 'little helpers'. playing completely legit just is a giant pain in the ass. my opinion.

[RedRaz0r]

I used to play legit. After I found cheating years ago....never again would I play legit

[fimend]

You don't get rewarded for not cheating, so why bother being legit? I've been frozen on accounts that I never cheated on, so I figured if I'm going to get iced either way then why not actually do something I'm not supposed to be doing. Cheating pays in the world of Neopets. To the answer the question, probably not. It would be way too tedious and frustrating.

[Jewbert]

I've been playing legit for years since I started Neopets. Only thing I would consider cheating is the mystery pic answers.

[Leaf]

Before i discovered neocodex i had already made 10 million just by playing the stock market. I wouldn't be on neopets for longer then 2 minutes a day... Now it feels like I'm spending WAYYY to much time playing neopets haha.

Yeah I mostly do the dailies and Kass Basher and then I'm done. Thanks to DD, I'm on a lot longer, ha.

[NapisaurusRex]

Absolutely not. I don't have time.

[Sunset]

I probably would still play if no one else could cheat, I wouldn't use the term "would" for the simple fact if cheating was still an option no one would really stop cheating. If there was no way to cheat anymore yes I would.

[Howardson]

I basically only started back up on Neopets because I found some other website that led me here, so nah, probably not.

[Juturna]

I don't see why I wouldn't. It would take a lot of practice, but i'm sure I'd get use to it.

Then again, idk if I would be on neo alot. I'm not on there regardless. I forget to AB and restock my shop, and yeah. I'm not sure even if I'd even remember to play. orz
