It's Neopet Hobby Drama(TM) time again, buckle in

So in October of 2023, TNT introduced a Quest Log feature. Basically, users complete 5–7 tasks per day. Each individual task rewards an item or NP, and users get 20k NP for completing all of their tasks each day. If they completed an entire week, they would recieve an item from an exclusive weekly prize pool. These are generally items users want, like paint brushes, stamps, etc.

If a user got a weekly prize they didn't like, they could simply hit one of the big red "Skip Quest" buttons. Skipping a quest would reset the weekly progress; skipping twice would reroll into a different prize. This was useful for avoiding less-expensive rewards and getting the item you want.

Recently (like within the last two weeks), the site went down for maintenance, and the Quest Log was down for a bit longer. When it came back, it was the same—minus the "Skip Quest" button.

Initially, users assumed this was just an error on TNT's end, and it would be fixed sooner or later. However, after waiting almost two (!) weeks, TNT finally made the following statement:

Hello Neopians! With the latest maintenance window, we made some changes to help prep for a future update and implemented some bug fixes to the Quest Log. Additionally, we fixed an exploit that was allowing users to reroll Weekly Rewards. Being able to reroll was not an intentional feature and was an exploit, so we fixed the bug that was allowing that during the maintenance window while we were applying other changes. We do, however, recognise that having a reroll feature is helpful, so we will keep this in mind for the future. We have some exciting updates planned for the Quest Log coming soon so stay tuned!

So basically, the team is trying to gaslight everyone by saying the button they very intentionally coded like a year ago was an "exploit" (????) and that users are now just stuck with the same prize, regardless of if they want it or not, meaning they took the time just to remove a feature everybody liked

I love visiting people who have some kind of pet reptile because they're always like "would you like to hold the reptile" and I'm like "of course I would" and then the rest of the conversation happens with me just holding a random reptile and the reptile Has No Feelings about the situation. They always just sit there, probably vaguely wishing to return to their heat lamp but clearly exuding an energy of This Might As Well Happen. and then I put it back in its enclosure and go home and the reptile very clearly has no strong feelings about the situation.

one of my least favorite game naming schemes:

Game (2018)

Game: Subtitle (2021)

Game 2 (2025)

DON'T NAME YOUR THIRD FUCKING GAME IN A SERIES "GAME 2" YOU FUCKERS. THAT'S NOT WHAT 2 MEANS
