Even though I usually frown upon those who spend their life on material things, such as Neopets, Runescape, or Word of Warcraft, after reading the story, I feel bad for people like this.
I was in New York and met this 30-year old man. He was overweight, and working in that famous Toy Store in NYC, FAO Scwartz. He had his Nintendo DS strapped upon his wrist, with a purple case. He was filled with acne, and a Pokemon T-shirt. My friends, who were also there, were making fun of him, as he was pouting in some little-kid type way. I later found out that this man had his game exploited and he lost all his Pokemon, money, etc, over a hack in the DS's WiFi. We talked to him and learned that he had like two years invested in this game, and that it was his life. He was a nice guy, and you can't really get that good of a life working in a toy store, he probably spent a few months of hard work for that game and the expensive accessories he had.
I've also had my house robbed before, and known friends who have walked into people being robbed and have been held gunpoint while their own personal belongings are grasped from their hands. Imagine that feeling, and the work you spent, time you've acquired and based just to support a family, buying expensive material things, and watching some men (or women?) you don't know packing it all into a bag. How the forget would you feel if that were you?
To IBanZ:
What the forget? Reading this makes me notice, even though I never met you, makes me not want to meet you, but I want to know one more answer: did you ever have the heart to take this Neopet in a horrible manner?
Whoever were to take someone elses pride and joy, whatever the loving hell it is, is an starfish in my mind. They should all burn in hell.
