    Just wondering. Personally, it's because they froze my very first account that was legitimate. =(

    I dont hack or cheat but I do support open source and I support freedom of playing and enjoying yourself. I myself am one of those "hackers" who just craves knowledge. If I learn something new then I win.

    I'd never hack on Neopets. Yes, somebody got into my account but that doesn't mean I'll retaliate and do that to somebody else :/

    I don't hack. I just cheat because one day my pet told me "I love neopoints and I want to have lots of them" [seriously, it was a RE] and I was like dirt poor. My stepdad doesn't allow me online on school nights so I lose a lot of play time. So I cheat because I really want to paint my pets someday. I have the lab ray and everything but I refuse to zap my peophin because I love her and i would never want her to change. I'm still pretty poor. But thats because my last ABer was really stupid and didn't work right so I have to find a better one.

    Earning NPs legitly is just boring if you aren't good at RSing or sniping.
    Playing games just to get NP's is much too tedious.
    So...I guess it's a time issue.

    i do it partly because i really don't care that much about neopets, i like to see people who have no life get beaten at buying by ABers, and its fun to se what random things i can AB. like today i got this awesome looking petpet, a Kazeriu. I think it looks pretty sweet.

    Re: hey

    With abing youre ruining the experience for legit restocker, with flash game cheating you ruin the fun for legit hiscores. etc. etc. but they could cheat tho so i dont mind ruining it for them. if i dont, others will do anyways.

    I had a perfectly legit account and it was frozen.

    I started to rebuild and then I got chain banned {legit aswell}.

    {emailed both times and was giving a default reply 2 weeks later}.

    Then I figured if they were just going to ban me AGAIN might aswell get as far as I can in the least amount of time :)

    I was banned for "using many accounts to earn nps".
    I kept spare nps in separate accounts because I tend to splurge a lot lol.

    I'm just lazy I guess, lol. I suck at restocking legitly and while I do play a few games every day it's too time consuming to make any np that way.
