Today's wallpaper was really cute.
I know and care too little about the Neo economy the get the full SAP drama picture, but I'd sure be happy to get one just for the sake of it lmao

That guy is sitting on 2,129,000,000 NPs in his bank account - last I checked. He's likely not "for the people" if I had to guess. He's in the group that is likely losing their wealth with each day lol
That makes sense, I can definitely see how an economist would make sense. At the same time, that seems like basic enough economy talk that any ole person would be able to wrap their heads around it. Imagine TNT actually taking that step though.
That's what I'm gathering too. It's like the new CEO stepped in and is completely out of touch with the game. Eh yeah let's give em these items next, why not?!
I agree with you there. The average player will likely never reach the 1.5B mark unless they have been playing for a long long time. There are rare cases of it happening. I have seen a handful of bank accounts that are on account less than a year with over 1B pure in them, not to mention whatever items they have. Not sure if they are legit or how they got there - but they are out there.
At the same time, does every player NEED to get these high end stamps and BD weapons? They can play the site just fine with the affordable weapons and stamps that are currently out there. Is it cool to own one of the wildly rare items like Seasonal Attack Pea and attach it to your pet to take to the BD - absolutely! What about when there are more SAPs out there than ever before and nobody can sell them because nobody wants to buy them, because nobody trusts that anything they sell for will hold it's value long term? I'd argue that SAP will be just another item that was released, had it's moment, and then fades back into the night until the next thing is tossed out there.
Right now I think the smartest play is to sell whatever you possibly can for pure NPs, stock up on pure however possible. When the shit continues to hit the fan and nothing is worth what it used to be, you'll be able to come in and scoop it all up and play however you want. That's the strategy I'm planning to take from here on out at least

Pulled a random amount of shells off one of my lists. Ran through exactly 218 accounts at the advent calendar. Got 3 SAPs. This is stupid lol

I was late to the ambassador drama but I just wanted to mention how funny it was to read about the bullshit. It must have been hilarious to everyone watching how Herdy and co squirmed live on discord and neoboards. Nothing personal against these people, but they 100% deserved the flak they are getting. They should just quit being "ambassadors" at this point but I'll bet my SAP that these weirdos will never step down without a fight lmao.

Lots of people accused them on inside trading. If I'm summarizing correctly, people pointed out in the discord how a JN staff member bought SAPs while they were low and then flipped on selling them for higher than they were going for. Then, JN put a warning on site that the SAP may have been removed from the pool (without this being confirmed), which caused more panic selling/buying. The warning was then removed some time after, but the damage has been done.
Along with Herdy asking TNT to remove the SAP, a lot of trust has been lost for JN for some. People think that the staff member knew the pea would be removed, which is why they sold it for higher + the addition of that warning.
(Again though, I'm not saying this as I agree with the accusations, I'm just trying to beat summarize it.)
Seems like it, but that's a VERY small sample size. I don't have the time to run through thousands of accounts to get a better estimate. Also, do we know whether each account is only able to get SAP one time, or can you get multiple? If you have a chance of getting it everyday, who is to say some people couldn't get multiple on their account over the 31days of the advent calendar.
Even though it's a pretty small drop rate, you add that up across tens of thousands (a lot of people seem to come back for advent calendar) or even hundreds of thousands of accounts (not including shells that we illegit folks use) and there could be an INSANE amount of SAPs out there in the wild by the time the new year comes.
I hadn't heard of any of that. I just got peas not long ago, so doesn't seem like it's removed just yet. Still a very real chance for it to drop. I have seen rumors about reddit staff in cahoots with NT with regards to what items would drop in events so that they could sell them before they deflated. I'm sure it's all wild speculation but not entirely out of the realm of possibility. It's too bad JN got pulled into it, I think they do an AMAZING job with their site and have some truly talented people over there running things.
