    Well, with all those ABers and stuff, making NP has been made way easier, I guess. So following the law of supply and demand, price goes down.

    Yup what milanos said. Illegit has been safer than what people originally thought so more people are buying illegit, meaning less demand for legit...so both went down.

    Score senders are the biggest culprit, this is the reason i have quit neo, no value in it no more.

    When I first became level one I was expecting to see like $10 per million, but apparently no one is that desperate for neopoints anymore . xD I mean, except for me . But I don't have paypal D:

    Well, actually, also, inter-forum (members of multiple forums) plays a big role in this too. Sometimes, forums even out the price. Somehow, the prices will leak from one forum member to another of another forum. Then, prices will go up or down accordingly.

    To be on topic, let's just say that if I'd known I could buy neopoints two years ago, I'd have been out fifty bucks or so. Now I know better and I'll make them myself somehow... then again, maybe I'll buy some anyways. I want a Lost Desert PB pretty badly.

    To be off topic... aaaaugh, Freya (the WoW boss, not the forum member >>) makes me want to curl up and die...
