I'm curious, because many 'legit' players seem to know cheating terms. What percent of all users do you reckon cheat? Cheat as in using programs, either SSers, ABers, autoplayers or just a refresher. Cheat also includes scamming, hacking, cging, etc or having too many accounts or playing games on sides or any one of the 988789 things not allowed, but has to be on purpose.

I think about 35-40% of users are actually cheaters. A lot of 'legit' players know too much about the cheating community to be actually legit. What's your estimate?

Nearly every high end avatar collector has shared accounts for flash games avs.

[Maeghan]

Id say 60% of the community over 15.

[Bone]

100%.

[Waser Lave]

14.72%

[Chase]

i'll say >60%.

with such opportunity for exploitation. i dont see why people dont partake in it.

14.72%

So precise? Is there actually a way for you to tell?

Of course not

[fruityone]

Of course not

From the number of people on codex + other sites compared to the number of active users could give a rough estimate.

I know that there are some sad, sad people in this world. Therefore, I'm inclined to believe that a lot of these "legit" players *are* legit, and have just done their homework. I mean, a lot of these people have accounts over 10 years old on Neopets. Over time, you're bound to learn something about the various methods of cheating. And besides, there are a lot of petpages on Neopets that specifically spell out what certain ways of cheating are, of course they all say "BUT DON'T EVER DO THIS YOU'LL GET FROZEN AND IT'S UNFAIR" or some disclaimer like that.

< 5%.

[aznf007]

My guess is around 15% because there's just some people that can't possibly be that rich without using other means.

[masterlorddd]

Any cheating
>75%
I am pretty sure many people do low level cheating, like make more accounts to make nps.

ABing/SSing
<5%
I don't think the majority of the people know that ABers or SSers exist, it took me a year to actually start looking how to cheat.

[Lineage]

I think anyone who battles/trains their pet is pretty much inclined to cheat because there's just no way to earn the amount of money to train and build a set without cheating.

Idk. i see users like monophyte and just laugh, because I feel like their account is just a ticking timebomb to get frozen.
Like, their gallery alone is just beyond ridiculous and you know it can't even pretend to be legitimate.

[carrice]

Monophyte has such an impressive collection in his gallery
He cant of gotten them by buying themhimself he probably uses his own abuyer or something
How come he isnt frozen yet

Probably 10%.

[luvsmyncis]

Are we just shouting out random numbers now? If we are... FOUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

[Scot]

<1%

[carrice]

Atleast 50%
All the people who gave impressive lookups are probably cheating in some form or the other
