My pet peeve is how the site hasn't really evolved with the times. Yeah, I get it, it's a cash cow, and those who own it are putting in the minimum investment (which, to be fair, is another peeve!)

 

after reading donna & adam's AMA, i have to agree w. this 1hunnit percent

I hate how you have to preview petpages in a new tab every time you want to submit changes. So if you're like me and you're in the moment and tweaking things, you end up with eight tabs of "Edit Your Neopet's Homepage!" across the top of your browser. It's a little thing, and it might just apply to me, but man does it urk me.

Huge peeve of anyone who loves coding. We know what it's going to look like.

[Parasol]

The stupid fucking grabby hand that every pet has to have now because of NC.

 

Ugh, yes.

 

I feel like a lot of the NC stuff is kind of following after Gaia's footsteps, but at least on Gaia they have the decency to have neutral arm positions. Honestly one of the reasons why I really like Mara and Mutant pets, because they still get to look somewhat unique.

Found another one of mine:

In the habitarium, when you have plenty of storages that aren't full yet and all the petpetpets are doing is just walking around like there's nothing to do. Dude, you have so many resources you can put in the storages, stop walking around and contribute damn it DX

[Honchkrow]

That having a high level trained pet is useful once in a blue moon when a battle plot rolls around. And even then by the final wave there are like two pets that can actually stand toe to toe consistently with whatever the boss is. All of the rest of us just throw ourselves endlessly at it and rack up defeats.

That BS Oblivion fight, i remember that, we were just cannon fodder

Do you seal off your P3s to specific gathering 1x1 squares using decorations/buildings/whatever? It forces them to just do nothing but gather forever, which is great for income.

[GothicxToy]

The 30 second spam filter is a pain, espicially when you're trying to advertise your shop.

 

Another:

How quickly the damn petpetpets die in the habituarium :l

The fact that the filter does not tell you which words in your paragraph/sentence/essay/whatever are "inappropriate"

Or the fact that it deletes your entire post when you go back and are forced to rewrite it.

 

Really annoying if it's a long post!

[Docshroomed]

How they refuse to write an items stats....when you click on an item whether it's a battledome item, or a healing potion, for fuk's sakes is it that hard to include the stats/how much HP it heals? Now people have to go google an items name and check it out on another website. Really incompetent design team.

Oh, also how neopets has the most fucked up default user lookup code in existence so trying to modify it is the most painful and ridiculous thing ever. And why are we limited to 5000 characters? 

[abbatoir]

The sheer deluge of NC items recently (which aren't usually announced in the news section, so it looks like TNT are keeping up with np wearables, but they're not).  

[WhiteMage]

I hate flash games.

I hate how TNT is making it hard for players to earn neopoints.

[jinq]

idiot whistleblowers who press the report button a little more often than they should

[Peaches]

It annoys me that I completed a survey of my pet peeves and nothing happens anyways.

[Wolfette]

Paperclip trades are probably my number 1 pet peeve. Hate 'em.

[oldneovet]

I understand the site went through it's biggest overhaul in years and they are dealing with ancient, creaky code, but the amount of bugs still floating around over a week after the switch is really lame and isn't giving me a good first impression of Jumpstart.

[Hydrange]

HC people, all of them.

[OvertAnglerfish]

It sucks that the battledome is still incomplete and buggy as hell.

[talbs]

It sucks that the battledome is still incomplete and buggy as hell.

As is pretty much the entire site at this point.

[masterpro]

The ads on the site and the filters annoy me so much.
You can't send the word "skills" or "grass" through neomail, but hey here's a nice advertisement on the side with a scantily clad female game character.

[Kibitz]

On trades when people say "free" but expect good offers.

[Shane]

I hate guild applications.

I hate guilds that do member sweeps if you haven't posted in a week.

I hate the kids who complain that we don't get plots and when we do, the plot isn't good enough.

I HATE the Lab Ray.

 

But, I still somehow love Neopets.

I hate guilds all together.

[Shane]

I hate them too, because a certain cookie grabber exploiting guilds was out for the longest time ever. 

There's no real use for them either. They tend to just be a waste of space on this website. Now if there was some sort of battledome quest or what ever that you could team up with your guild to defeat, that would be something. But they are just a mini forum with people stating they are a part of it.

[jinq]

As is pretty much the entire site at this point.

Focusing on freezing "cheaters" rather than fixing bugs and coming up with new content
