What percentage of users do you think cheats?

[penguin1991]

Just a question.

Every time I see an account stacked with game trophies, my first thought is that the account is cheated on, especially the ones that are only a couple years old.
I honestly think 75 % of the trade chat are cheaters too. Some people have to much wealth for me to assume their legit.

So I'd say like 30% at least?

Thoughts?

if you have more than 1 stamp avatar, cheat. I have no evidence but neither do I doubt.

what a beautiful account! How have you collected so many avatars and first place trophies? wait a minute...

Not gonna lie, when I see any account that's got something, ANYTHING nice on it (whether it has nice trophies, or a nice pet, or nice NC items, nice "UBs", a nice gallery, nice avatars, or even a nice username) I just assume they're probably a cheater or have cheated at some point. (So I guess from that perspective, nearly 100% of the dedicated player base looks like a cheater to me, which says a lot about how much I actually care about whether or not somebody cheats - aka I don't care at all)
Obviously I'm 100% sure there are plenty of people who have nice things and got/earned them completely legitimately but I'm just skeptical nowadays If you're not completely dependent on Trudy's Surprise + the Battledome rewards as the only sources of your minuscule amount of wealth on Neopets, then you look like a cheater to me. (Disclaimer: Not that I have an issue with that at all! Everyone should join us on cK, it'll make your Neo-life a lot easier)

I agree with both of you! Everytime, I'm like no way are these guys not cheating lmao.

I think the vast majority does not. It's funny I went for near 15+ without cheating. So it's certainly doable to be awesome and not cheat. For me it just gave me an edge.

If they have an item worth 30 mill on the TP. They're probably a cheeta! Im going to say its 50/50 they play legit and get lucky enough to have high value items like that. I know I played years legit and only made I think about 300k, but I also suck at games so I never made NP that way. I made it through trading or resale. It took awhile for me to get into the stock market. I make a good amount of NP through that. Theres only a select few games I could play and get 1k NP through. I might start using the the Majin Score Sender at some point to get some trophies, I havent gotten around to it yet though

I too think a majority don't but there are more people who cheat than what it seems haha. Everytime I see a main account full of rare uc pets with a a size 2 shop, 30 games, no bd records, 90 avs...no site feature trophies, i'm like in my head 'woahh did you buy that...nice :o , if not...woah even nicer haha respect' as i remember how hard it was just back then earning enough nps to offer customs to trade for ucs. i needed to play games quite a bit, restock, stock up my shop to the max to help earn more nps. although it is still plausible that these people just moved mains or whatever, adopted or are just totally not interested in doing anything else other than having their pets etc

To be honest, 95% of my account is legit and self-earned, including my BD pet and all trophies. When I cheat is not for NP or NC items it's only for UC pets

Tbh I think most of the players who are still active have cheated at least once, and cheating is not necessarily buying NP, autobuyer, UC’s, buying artworks or selling them, etc, can be stupid things as having more than 5 accounts lol

Bcoz pretty much breathing is cheating in Neopets so...

(They seriously need to update some rules...)
