You might be amused to know that Neopets still has dismal security 20 years later. Autobuyers are alive and well, to the point that the entire virtual economy is shaped around a handful of exorbitantly wealthy users who snipe and hoard valuable items. There's also at least one grey hat (reddit user u/neo_truths) who's been able to get into Neopets' databases and expose how broken the site is and how much cheating runs rampant... real interesting stuff. EDIT: Here's a fun example. Ancient bug where items above a certain rarity level weren't available in NPC shops, despite Neopets' staff insisting that they were... turns out r100s were in fact buyable, but not visible, so the only way to snag one was to figure out the exact URL for the item as it was generated. https://www.reddit.com/r/neopets/comments/npzffe/restocking_... https://www.reddit.com/r/neopets/comments/nu4k5o/r100_restoc... |
