    What was it that made you start auto buying...

    What's your story

    Revenge? Curiosity? Greed?

    Here is my story about how I started autobuying and then ended up here :D

    After 4 years of legit neopets playing I was still very lazy at playing the games.

    I had always heard of autobuyers, but never really held any interest.

    Untill I decided I wanted a draik... I wanted a draik and I couldn't get enough NPs... I pondered the autobuying idea for about a week finally deciding I didn't want to get iced.

    I tried getting more nps. I even made it to 1.5 mil legit. (aside from all the other wonderful things on my old account)

    But I gave up and googled ABers.

    I downloaded one first. And it worked great I ran it for 3 days straight on the weekend. And then My computer picked up a key logger! Stupid ABer was infected. So I removed it from my system but it was too late. And I got too greedy. My account was frozen when I returned home from work

    So wanting revenge on neopets... I came here :D

    Mods: If this should be elsewhere feel free to move

    Well, as i don't have an autobuyer. I can only give reasons for why I don't use one :p

    I have a fantastic legit account, and I was drawn to neofriends out of morbid curiosity just to find out what exactly autobuyers can do. If my accoun gets frozen than i am likely to turn to autobuyers, mainly because it would make the game more interesting :p

    But perhaps out of fear for my really nice account. I don't ab. Coming to this forum is mainly preperation incase the worst should happen :p

    I got unfairly frozen two times and lost all my neopoints.
    I'll AB to the day I've gotten equally strong and painted pets and the same ammount of nps I had on both accounts.
    I'll probably continue after that, but that's my strategy at the moment :p

    Revenge. TNT made me angry enough by freezing my legit account for cheating (dno where that came out yet) so I just want everything I got again.

    I must say that one of the reasons for me to start auto buying is greed, since I don't have much time to be restocking 'cause of school etc and I do want a couple more nps an auto buyer looks like a reasonable experience x)...but curiosity has also a big part on it...

    mainly because TNT decided to ice my beautiful legit account [which would be 5 years old this year]...
    so, gave up on neo for a while, then, started hearing about ABers. was interested. spent ages looking for one. eventually found one. never looked back.

    I started because I was just intrigued by them :p
    After 2 days I got bored and stopped using them, if I can find an auto-haggler though, then I would be tempted to use that instead...

    I would have to say that for me, it was mostly curiosity. I've only used an ABer two or three times because I REALLY don't want to get my account frozen. It's pretty old and I've just come too far with it to start all over at the beginning.

    However, reading this thread and seeing how many people have posted that they were unfairly iced makes me wonder if it even matters what I do. :?

    GREED

    Like you punkeydew, I wanted a Draik, a Royal paint brush all those sort of things and make like 5K a day on the boring games, so I turned to RSing, I couldn't get ANYTHING worth it, the ABers beat me every time. And if you can't beat them...join them ;)
