Wow, why do they continually take perfectly fine games and change up the neopoint/points ratio on them?
God damn, and the max neopoints you can get from a game is only 1,000 so why would they screw with that.
It's like they're trying to push you towards cheating. How can you possibly make any neopoints from flash games anymore?


I used to remember when Bullseyes, and Pterattack had good ratios.
And now they changed chia bombers ii.
-There are a bunch of other games but these are the ones I'm sad about :'(

o.O This is why people restock, play teh stockmarketz. They only do it so you always come back to their site in hoping you be spending your real monayz on them.

[Turtleboy]

I mean I do AB and all, but it's pretty much impossible to get anything done just playing legit.

You could probably spend like 2 hours a day playing flash games and make only like 50k at this rate.

Time it'll take to get that nice baby paint brush: 10 bajillion years.

Play the stockmarket?
You can only buy 1k stock a day...god damn, if that were true in real life we'd be stuck in the stone ages.

Btdubs, that's a nice avatar.

my stocks are sitting at 3.700.000/5.000.000 (33%) profit right now

Thats how everything in life should be. Anyways Neopets only does that to draw people who do play legit in everyday to suck in their life. Same concept as any other online game.

[Turtleboy]

It just makes me sad. Clearly, the TNT is saying - you can't make enough money by playing games legit - go look for other ways to get neopoints (like SS).

[skinnjazz]

some lame people with nothing better to do with their time (me) just play the stupid flash games because they're brainlessly fun in which case the ratio is totally meaningless..

[Turtleboy]

You just need to update with the times and keep your eye on the ratios... they change once a month (I believe).

I managed to rack up 100k or so to AB with within 3 days by playing legit... and I only had to spend 2 or so hours on the site to do it.

6 hours to make 100k?
So, if you decided to play legit all the time, you'd basically need to play like 600 hours or so to get a Draik. (Lulatthat)

Anyhow, what games did you play? (I want to make some legit neopoints - it'll make me feel better about myself)
All I'm saying is, they were fine before - why change the ratio.
99.99% of the time, (I've never experienced TNT upping the ratio) they just nerfed that shit. In a LOT of the games now, it's impossible to even get that 1k neopoints.
What is TNT afraid the value of the neopoint is going to drop because they're just injecting it into the system? This isn't the real world, they shouldn't even worry about shit we're not too concerned with.

Damn, how am I so angry at something so trivial

actually the real reason is that they fail at programming. All their games are either boring or have bugs that make the game unenjoyable. Instead of fixing bugs/coming up with better games, they screw with the ratio so you'd play lame games more often.

[Turtleboy]

Thanks for that, I tried a few of them and either it takes a long time to get to that 1000 neopoint mark or it's pretty damn hard. (Maybe i'm just bad at flash games teehee)

[Gee]

Yeah, haha. I remember when you could play Pteri attack and Ultimate Bullseye for nps.
I play the games I like only for enjoyment and not for nps. That's why I only play like 5 games haha.

Yeah, I could easily get 30k or so each day, but problem is that things get real boring after a few days Can't imagine myself playing the same games every day for a month

but problem is that things get real boring after a few day

my problem is, i can never play the same game 3 times in a row... usually, i play once, get a decent score, and then i die and i'm like "SDFSSAKHFasdsafsa" and reduced to slapping my keyboard in frustration.. i can't do that 3 times in a row, 100 times a day...

lol thats offensive, i used to get income from games (before abrosia of course)

[dfoaiu]

I don't bother playing any of those flash games. The payout is too low.

[sircomflix]

lol thats offensive, i used to get income from games (before abrosia of course)

It adds up but damn that takes a looooooooong time.

[Derriere]

The first time I found out games only maxed out to 1k NP. I immediately tried to find out a faster way to get profit lol.
AKA. Auctions, TP, RS. Fuck games.

lol @ plebs that get their income from games

I cant believe people are not following your sig still.

[jcrdude]

Games are one of the primary ways that new NPs enter the market.

Restocking is simply a means of gathering items that will have their value determined by the existing flow of Neopoints into the market.

When TNT changes a game's ratio, it would seem to be determined that the ratio was determined to be ineffective for one of the following reasons:

1. If the skill/time:payout ratio is too low, then many people will play the game and too many NPs will be coming into the market.
2. If the skill/time:payout ratio is too high, then not many people will actually play the game, and not enough NPs will be coming into the market.

If you'll notice, most new games will come out with a 1.00 payout ratio until enough data is gathered to determine a new ratio

[Elle]

the only time i ever played those games was between the ages of 8-12; but then again i thought 2000np was a lot of money

[MiladyM]

I still play games.. but more because I like them and not because of the neopoints Im addicted to pyramids and such X_X
