In Topic: Do you think Neopets is Advertising Premium too Much?

16 July 2012 - 12:05 AM

I really don't think they're advertising it too much. The ads don't encroach on anything else you're doing on the site, it's not like there's a pop-up about it every time you load a new page and unlike some other sites, paying for premium doesn't really give any massively unfair advantage. At the end of the day, they are a business and they need to have some level of income to pay staff and keep the bulk of the site free to play.

A fairly recent peeve of mine: Since I got premium I've had about a dozen people mail me asking if I can price things with the SSW for them. I don't use the premium avatar on the boards so I can only presume these people are just going through random lookups looking for 5th pet/space faerie charms. My response is always "Sorry but no, I don't have time" and most of them have been ok with that but a couple have mailed back telling me how unfair I am and that they're going to report me. Yeah, good luck with that, arseholes.

The other thing I can't stand is cuntish behaviour on the TP, especially:
- FREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!, or any variation of (Then they reject + block when you offer an omelette. If it ain't free, don't fucking say it is)
- Asking for like 10k for 10 junk items
- Offering junk and a few thousand np for a 500k+ item (Extra cunt points for those users who send begging mails after you reject)

And finally, any board where any kind of trading happens. 20% genuine posts, 80% "Look at me! Look at all the shiny things I have! PAY ATTENTION TO ME!"

Also like to add. You can't act like item inflation is some sort of Loyal User Perk.. TNT didn't inflate the items value.
The users did. Out of GREED.

TNT /does/ give perks to Loyal Users, it's called Elite Boutique.


You've pretty much summed up my feelings about this in your last couple of posts. I get why people are pissed but whining that the pretty pixels you paid $1.50 for 5 years ago can now be purchased again for $1.50 is pretty pathetic.
