Look, I get that NC is a good way for TNT to get money and blah blah blah, but I wish that they would keep it out of the things that every Neopian is supposed to be able to do. I don't have the money to actually pay for NC. So now I can't get the best items in the new game 'Neopian Battles' or fully participate in the plot. I can't customize my neopet in nice clothing. And now there is a crafting faerie, who wants NC items. I have no hope of getting NC ever. SO I can't complete these quests ever. There are foods to get tin Habitarum, and other neat things like ink droppers that I cannot purchase. And now there is a survey. An NC Mall Survey. The choices are exclusive access to premium site features, early access to site content, a fifth pet, which is something I have wanted for a while, and items that will save you time (i.e. stocking shop faster) These are things that should be available to all neopians! I would have been fine if neocash stayed in the NC mall, but when it starts messing with the rest of neopia, it has gone too far.
