Advent Calendar Figures from "N_T"

[Jhin]

He posts whenever he needs a sweet, sweet dopamine hit. I love how everyone is embracing the “white hat hacker” when there is something seriously sinister about the shit that he does. Homie has clearly never heard of omerta. You would think, with backend access, he would use his abilities for more fruitful endeavors versus riling people up on Reddit. He’ll never out the people he gives information on because that affects his bottom line.

People theorize that the reason TNT doesn't address the FC botter is because the account numbers boost advertising, if I understand it right. So, instead of saying something like "Neopets has 200k+ active players", they can say "Neopets has 260k+ active players". They're also convinced that whichever TNT staff member that generates items is getting a kickback from the black market sales, which is a stretch and a half considering there isn't any proof of this outside the word of a backend hacker lmao.

Logic on Neopets.com must come from Jupiter or something, because it sure as hell doesn't come from Earth.

Food club's just the most effective NP maker at this point, there's always the next best thing... (Shop sniping, mass score sending, etc)
You're right though, NP has stopped caring about monitoring. Back in the day, cheating on Neopets was like being up against the FBI. You had to be really careful to use a different IP for every account you used. You'd get caught out every now and then, and lose a bunch of accounts. So long as you didn't lose your main... Those days were kind of fun haha.

Of course, let's not forget, Stealthcore has a decent food club better bot. It's probably even the one this guy is using.

I dunno, I kinda like the guy, though it seems a controversial opinion…
He seems to be the Julian Assange of neopets. There’s no evidence he’s doing it for profit or ego.
He’s shining a light on how shady neopets is, and we shouldn’t shoot the messenger of that.
Sure, having third parties with back door access makes a mockery of the website, but most black hat hackers would just quietly exploit the system, duplicate to their hearts content, and quietly make a decent profit, not letting anyone know, lest their access be detected and patched up.

@(you need an account to see links) beat me with the link to the thread but Rare/N_T is only doing this for ego and profit.

People keep mentioning that n_t airs out TNT's dirty laundry, but users do nothing with this information but move on with their days. With or without his postings, nothing is changing in the game. Knowing how many potential SAPs are out there does not influence or change anything about our on individual accounts, so why does it matter if we know this information other than to spread a narrative about some big bad botter?

Bahaha more like Julian Assange than I thought (with an apparent background of harassment)
Thanks, Synth, I wasn’t aware of this, appreciate it.

[StringsOfDeath]

i thought N_T confirmed that the FC botter is the top seller of NP and items on the market places... the one who clears 15k each month. do we think that might not actually be true?

assange most likely did not harass anyone, unlike N_T who obviously did lol... i hate to ask but do we know how old N_T is? if he was harassing girls on AIM like 7 years ago, is it possible the guy was only 15-16 at that time and maybe could have at least grown up and out of those harmful/predatory ways?

He's about 37 years old now, and he would've been around 29 when he was active in this and other communities. Definitely not a teenager making stupid mistakes.
