    Does cheating make Neo boring?

    I haven't been doing a whole lot of illicit activies on Neo, mostly just buying NC items that I haven't been able to trade for legally, and one NP item. I've been musing a bit on buying a main/semi-main account or UC's, but I'm hesitant. I'm worried that cheating/instant gratification with money will make the game more boring. What else will I do if I'm not working by myself to earn NP or trading for UCs legally?

    What do you guys think?

    I think that in the same way there are many different ways to experience and enjoy neopets, there are many different ways to cultivate your cheating experience. I personally loath pet trading, I have always felt like it was a painful means to justify an end, and I never felt a sense of accomplishment when finally getting a pet I want, mostly just exhausted. I'm nervous about buying pets, but it's an option that greatly improves my neopets experience.

    On the flip side, I was big into avatars as a kid and even though I happily played games for other people, I felt a lot of guilt and anti-accomplishment when a friend of mine got me a specific game avatar at a new years party, and I never fully got over it until I achieved the avatar score on my own years later. As much as I like seeing my avatar count go up, and as stuck as I feel now with only games I'm terrible at remaining, score sending for them would feel hollow. The only exception is the Godori auto-player because that is its own level of "fuck that game".

    On the flip flip side, I just lack the capital to work my way up to a stamp avatar, so one of these days I might just buy some stamps to that end. There are a handful I really want.

    I feel like it only makes it boring if you use it to cut corners on the things you actually enjoy.

    When I first started I was a little weary in thinking that it may make neo a little less appealing.. however, I have to admit I was never a wiz at making NP to achieve certain high end goals, so finding a site like this made a lot of my dreams that much easier to achieve and to be even more honest.. it has made neo more fun for me. I actually learned alot more here than I have on neo, lol.

    BUT, I'll admit.. I seriously miss the good old KQ/Habi days where I actually thought I could achieve goals without having to utilize other sources.

    Absolutely not - and I agree wholeheartedly with what everyone said, especially kitty and Aero. Depending on what you care about regarding the site and your experience, cheating can be a wonderful skip ahead for parts that honestly? As a busy adult who subscribes to aint nobody got time for that? Is just NOT worth my time and effort/annoyance.

    You like pets and want to dress them up/write/draw/BC them? Buy the fucking pet so you can actually do those things and not waste the paltry amount of life Neopets have just trying to GET to that point.

    Customising/painting/morphing your pets? FUCK the NCC/TC (and TNT while at it with regards to NC)! Instant gratification! Buy whatever you need here!

    And of course same holds true with avatars/games/trophies etc. those kind of skill-based (for non purely RNG shit) things of course gives you bragging rights over others so if you're gonna cheat for them then don't fucking pretend like you didn't, at the very least. I do agree bragging rights for those should go to the ones who did it manually, but if you want to pad your av count to look safer on the PC or there's a really cute avatar that you just CANNOT get on your own and it makes you happy to use it... go for it.

    Play how you want but don't give others grief for enjoying things in a different manner (unless what you actively engage in is maliciously affecting other ppl's experiences... looking at you ~15 some people who reset their avatar counts immediately on the 1st of every month to gatekeep, shitbags). But if you enjoy endlessly bumping on the PC or the shuffle life, for whatever reasons it gives you your dopamine, go for it. Life is just too fucking short to not enjoy things based on other people's notions of what you should or shouldn't do (I would like to emphasize I am NOT talking about actual crimes yall pls don't go out murdering ppl saying Ice said to )

    PC trading does annoy me, although it would be nice to introduce new pets into the mix and make achieving my goals a little easier (buying a WN UC and then trading with that), but it might also take away the sense of accomplishment for me. I'm having trouble trading for my goals right now, though.

    Nah, it's not like we provide "God mode" which would make it so there's nothing left to do in the game.

    Our bots/tools enhance your experience and help you achieve your goals quicker.

    And remember, everything is optional. You decide which game of feature you want to cheat on.

    I agree whole heartedly with with Kittyray said.
    At the end of the day, it is what you make of it. It enhances your experience because you decide what “illicit” activities to take part in.

    If anything, it’s made Neo a lot more fun. Especially because a lot of the rules are so outdated/ridiculous anyways LOL.
