It's weird how synonymous it's been lately with users abusing the system equalling they come from here. People also thought this when it came to M+, thinking that the guild originated here, when they didn't.
All big, open cheaters aren't always from here just because of the type of rep Neopets users try to assign to us. Some people do their own business without specifically being associated with anyone.
Do we KNOW it didn't originate here though?
Just playing devils advocate. It wasn't a thread or anything out in the open, but who is to say it wasn't a bunch of ck members on the low starting up something to cause a little chaos. In the grand scheme of things, M+ is pennies compared to what the FC botter is doing. That is on a completely different level, it's insane!
Realistically, TNT being unable to track their accounts down is mind boggling to me. It's their site, they are the admins and should be able to see everything. I'm sure there are audit trails and logs that can help them sort through things. Either they are so short staffed that they can't look into it or they simply don't care. Either way, I'm not sure what the best move forward is for them. Releasing cove items is cool, but if one person scoops them all up, it's basically business as usual. It's one thing to toss them in a collection, but I'm pretty sure that's not the end goal for the person who bought 100+ items from the cove.

Yeah most of the competent/big-time sellers have probably been around this community or directly involved so I wouldn't be surprised either.
It's interesting to see the perspective from both sides of the fence because of how massive the inflation/economy has changed based on these botters.
If all the information from n_truths is accurate it seems crazy that users are being given such amounts of pets/items/etc from support generation without some sort of incentive/insider at least from my point of view and experience dealing with support.
Even with all the information/details it seems unlikely but will be trying it myself as I haven't messaged support in a few years and maybe the new staff is just highly incompetent.

I can't dispute his information since I don't have access to all that.. but it's almost too detailed for me to doubt. Personally, I don't know how or why he spends that much time digging through all that stuff other than for the power trip. I'd have thought he might have used that access to profit a bit... maybe he is and just doesn't make that known... but he's definitely gathered a following. There's a lot of crazy things happening lately but we all have to remember that it's just a game. Yes, there is money in it, but it's just a game and shouldn't be taken SO seriously.
We are of the same mindset there.
I know that he does have a storefront, multiple actually. Haven't seen him on lately and can't 100% confirm, but since I'm a betting man.. I'd bet on him.

We could also all be wrong too lol
Issue I had finding was some of the unique items I am seeking the FC botter "sell" according to truths post and his data sheet, I haven't been able to find those items for sale offsite. Even on his multiple storefronts and couple other sites.
So I really have no idea where they are getting sold or who exactly it is, just my thoughts on it.
