Cheat Engine for score sending and getting those shiny trophies/avatars... as if I have time to get them through legit means.

[HannahElizabeth]

I'm just trying to make a profit by using Abrosia. I played legit for a year; got nowhere, then got frozen. Now casting caution to the winds and playing to win

[RandyX]

TNT froze an account I made 11 years ago, for no real reason.
Then they refused to unfreeze.
Maybe vengeance, may just be for the hell of it.
The account was purged and I lost ~87million nps, and my battledome trained pets.
Within a week of using, this ABer is amazing and it's slowly earning me back to my 87 million.
Oh, and sometimes cheating can be really fun.
Wait.. that's it, i'm in it for the fun.

[Habanero]

It's really nice though, I've made more than I made in my old main in a few days. (Only made around 300k~ on my old)

Wouldn't SSing be by far easier than using CE? You just hit a button and go afk for 20 minutes.

Cos neo froze my account which i played for one year, and I don't really see a point in playing neo legit anymore.

[jargon]

Actually I stumbled onto neocodex by accident. To be honest, I didn't really care about nps and things like that. I played flash games because they were a fun way to pass time and I liked talking to my guild members. I had very little interest in improving my account until I started cheating. Since cheating on online games isn't that new to me, it wasn't a big deal or some monumentous decision.

[Hush]

I used the ABer once for fun to try and now I just can't return to legit.

It's easier but the risk of getting caught is way higher.
Risk of using AoB is really really low unless you start getting unbelievable scores.

Well, i lost my account of 8 years and tnt never wanted to help me get it back. so i made an alt quit neopets for awhile and came back a few days ago. i enjoy cheating in games not for unfair advantages or to be mean to people. just have a unnatural attraction to it . Also when i saw this community i was happy as hell, wanted to do neopets hacking ect ect for years and never stumbled upon this website before. and now im a happy camper. once i work out how to use everything.

I appreciate you posting the links : ) I was not aware of these, however I made this topic in order to get to know everyone a little bit better...if you can count this as getting to know someone (x

Well, one day I did the math about how long it would take to get four rare and/or painted pets legit if you had a slow connection. My conclusion.... well, kind of depressing.

Say you are a teenager allowed to play for three hours a day by your permissive parents. You want a Maraquan Draik, a plushie pet, a Darigan pet, a Faerie pet, and a Baby pet.
Draik egg: 4 million
Maraquan: 11 million
Darigan: 1.5 million
Plushie: 8.5 million
Faerie: 1.3 million
Baby: 600k
Total: 26.9 million.

Then I tried to build a profile which I figured was about right for the average Neopets player, someone who likes the site but isn't utterly obsessed.

You play most days: Let's say 350 days a year. Your connection is too slow for you to have a chance at restocking. While you are not horrible at Flash games, you're not an expert either. You're also making friends, chatting, avatar-searching, playing with your pets, that sort of thing; you're not utterly focused on earning NP. And of course you have a life--school, work, real life friends, responsibilities of various sorts. Some days you only check into the game for dailies; sometimes you spend hours on a weekend. On average, you earn 20,000 NP per day just playing games, dailies, etc. You're very determined, so you save 15k of it every day for your dream pets.

So how long do you take to get your dream pets? By my math, if you start out when you are 13 years old, you will be 18 by the time you have those pets. That's more than five years.

Conclusion? You can't set expensive goals on Neopets unless you are either severely obsessed, have a very fast connection, or are cheating. And the goal I set was relatively modest--if you're training for the Battledome, you will have a much higher NP total if you want the best equipment.

Considering the extremely high freeze rates for next to nothing, you are very unlikely to ever reach any of those goals.

When I first figured that out, I just quit Neopets. Now, I don't think of it as a long-term project anymore, because I know that's useless. I just play however I like, and when I get tired of it, I gather up all the stuff I've collected and NP I've earned and find some random people to give it away to. If I have a painted pet I transfer it to someone equally random, usually somebody from the Pound chat. Then a while later, when I have a hankering to play Pyramids or something, I come back and start again.

I just know better now than to think of Neopets as a game where you can set reasonable goals and accomplish them while being assured that unless you're a real jerk or a scammer you won't be frozen. More likely, you'll slowly and painfully grow to hate the flash games because you can only play the ones that are most profitable if you want to get anywhere, and then when you're nowhere near your goal, your account gets frozen for little or no reason.

Sell the NP.

[riakage0]

Simple for me. RSing is tedious and boring.

And also what MysteryMunch said. It would take years to get the pets you want.

[Jaws]

I've been using Abrosia for maybe half a month now.
I used to use it regularly but I thought I was going to stop once I sold my old account, now I just want to make enough nps to gift something special to a friend of mine
Then I'll probably stop again... at least for a bit ^^

[DrMeowMeow]

I don't use the programs, but if I get frozen or lose my main account which has all my legit nps earnings I definitely will.

[Slugworth]

I have a legit 8.5 year account and could never rs fast enough to get anything. I found this site and made a shell to use for it. In 2 weeks i made 300k and that is all i need to make. This site is pretty nice.

[Juturna]

Simple. I'm lazy.

[krakus]

It's convenient.
I AB really occasionally. I do the opposite of Scot's method, really - I do high-profit, really low volume. Basically I'll use Abrosia with a very specific list to get 1 UB every 3-4 weeks. The wildcard ability on Abrosia really is awesome for this - I'll let Abrosia run for a couple hours early one morning with a list like * Draik Morphing Potion, * Krawk Morphing Potion, Halloween * Morphing Potion, etc. and it'll pick up one and I'll be all set. Sometimes I'll RS a huge UB (worth 8 mil), but then the next time I'll probably go RS a smaller UB under 1 mil. It works out to a nice, steady 4-5 mil a month, which is plenty for me.

This way I can AB on my main without looking ~too~ suspicious. It also leaves me lots of time to do lots and lots of legit stuff, like guilds, graphic-making, avatar collecting, lending, etc. And then sometimes if I'm feeling cocky I'll use Score Sender for game avatars and the occasional trophy on reset day.
