TNT Pet Buying Warning

[Bat]

They called the cyber police on us. Believe it or not, the cops don't come after websites for breaking your website's terms of service. Poor lamb.

I get that TNT are trying to strike fear into their users a bit here (lol), but isn't it exactly these types of warnings that lead to people realising that buying pets is a thing and finding where to buy them from anyway...*waves to lurkers*

I'm glad TNT is spending their time humble bragging about doing nothing on the boards instead of fixing the mountain of issues the site has.

Rabble-rousing like that encourages more players to blow whistles over every little thing, which I suppose is easier for them than having to pay attention to the comings and goings of their own community. They've been running on peer-policing for so long now that this doesn't even register as a threat anymore. If they gave a toss about actually handling the unchecked theft of pets on their site, then they could've implemented and stuck to modern security protections at any point in the past ten years instead of pretending to care with bluster like this.

Just follow your seller's instructions carefully and you'll be fine.

Honestly instead of focusing on us and communities, pets and encouraging reporting people they should be focusing on the guy that has access to their database and trying to charge him with a cybercrime. smh.

Oh no they're coming after us? Who? All 4 employees left at Neopets and their dog?

People sell names. It means it's a sought-after thing. Wouldn't it be smart of them if they just sold some token that gives your pet a nickname? Just like pet styles *shrug*

You would stop the witch hunting and would get some money. It's a fuckin win.
-but I guess it would be hard to implement-

agreeing with both delibird and old but gold here. the person with access to their DB is that n_t dude on reddit, right? their posts are fascinating, but how tf is that person not being crucified by TNT yet anyone who does offsite trading is gettin the cyber popo threatened on them? :v

then the concept of like a token to give your pet a nickname is honestly genius. I've never been into pet trading (just items - I like to hunt for pets stuck in the pound and then work from there nowadays) but it's like printing money for Neo to do something like a nametag item. idk how the programming would work due to the spaghetti code, but if they were able to implement neopass, extra pet slots, UC tokens, blah blah...
