Would you still be such jackasses if TNT wasn't?

Don't take this the wrong way, but you're cheating on a kid's site. :P Some of you are even stealing accounts from children and then selling them for loads of money. The title is not meant to offend anyone.

Anyway, back to the question at hand. Would you? Would you still be cheating/hacking/scamming if TNT was more reasonable and treated their customers with more respect?

My take on it: TNT sucks hard. Or Viacom, whatever. They are one and the same now as far as I am concerned. I would still buy/sell stuff here since I don't think it should really make a difference whether I invest on Neo or outside Neo. I work as hard for my real money as I do for my neopoints. It's not like it affects their business, I was still Premium and regularly bought neocash.

However, my main and all my sides (i.e. every account I created EVER, which has so much time, money and effort invested in them) were recently iced. I can't even be bothered to try and get it back, I'm so mad. So, I've started AAing and ABing and have already managed to get a Blue Draik Egg. I'm really good at programming so it wasn't hard, but it had just never occured to be to cheat this way before. I would never have considered it had TNT not frozen me.

I have no shame when it comes to taking from children. Does that make me a bad person? More then likely.

Well, I don't CG or scam. I've bought hash lists but most of the accounts I got were highly inactive which I consider fair game anyway, plus if people are stupid enough to use the same password on their email and neopets then they deserve to get their shit stolen (they're probably not going to miss it anyway).

I also think on neopets these days you have to work so fucking hard just to be satisfied with what you have, and what kind of a game is that? So yeah, I bought the mp that created my draik, I sell pets that I zap and I buy nps when desperate but I also RS legit and try to have fun.

There has to be balance, but since you mentioned it yeah TNT are appalling, a sad bunch of fascists. If the world was run in the same manner that they run neopets there'd be a revolution in under a year. If TNT were decent, gave us more freedom, did not favour certain members, freeze without warning, and make people paranoid I'd be a lot happier to play their game fairly.

Your avatar excuses you.

Having little brothers and sisters who play Neopets, I wouldn't steal from children. I don't steal at all, really.

I just like to buy/sell pets and collect the older inactive accounts. :P

But even if TNT weren't who they are, I'd still be happy to AB and cheat on the games. It brings mild amusement to a game that is otherwise very boring. xD

Sucks about you being chain frozen. And I guess I can see why it would prompt you to take up cheating. ^^

My main was frozen for harassment. The irony? It was someone who stole one of my avatar items that reported me for it lol. After I flooded their inbox with neomails. I said nothing offensive lol, I was just being annoying. >_<

I think children who are too young to protect their stuff on the internet shouldn't be using the internet. (Like 4th graders on Facebook). I scammed accounts for awhile and felt no remorse because you have to be fairly stupid to fall for the scams, and I wasn't stealing real money or belongings.

But i didnt scam because of TNT, although if they hadnt frozen me I wouldnt have considered cheating on games /ABing, etc.

I'd probably still cheat, which make the game easier and more enjoyable, but I don't steal accounts from children and whatnot. Why even today I got into one of Impossible's free accounts that had a bunch of neocash items on it and 175 NC in it still and chose to just log out and not take it.

Well, even if TNT didn't froze my accounts, I would still look for some cheat. I only use cheats to earn neopoints, I never scam/FLP for real money. I just think it sucks to lose everything because you made a mistake by visiting a site with a CGer or something like that.

I disagree. I think the internet can be an excellent source of education, but everyone has to start from somewhere. I would never have gotten into art, coding, programming, writing or economics if it wasn't for some of the websites I started out on when I was younger.

Then again, I also consider being scammed/trolled/stalked all part of that education.
