Rule Question On Adopting

[xdarkcloudsx]

Is it against the rules to "ask" for a pet that someone is willing to give away? For example: Is it against the rules if someone had a FFQ and was willing to give away the pet? I am just wondering.

Yes, it's against the rules for the person to make a pet you want using their FFQ and give it to you.

 

Dumb rule in my opinion, but it is what it is.

Hi, TNT! Hypothetical situation here involving two good imaginary friends of mine, Sally and Bob. Sally gets a Fountain Faerie Quest. She already has all of her dream Neopets, however, so she has no need for it. Bob has never received a FFQ before and Sally wants to donate her FFQ to Bob as a gift. Would it be allowed for Bob to send his Neopet to Sally's account, where Sally would use her FFQ on Bob's Neopet and then transfer it back to Bob? I'm getting confused about this because it isn't allowed with the Lab Ray, so I can't work out if it would be allowed with a FFQ. Please let me know! ~zemzii

While giving away your hard-earned lab zap or FFQ pass is a nice gesture, we don't allow this because Bob should be earning his own Lab Map. Bob should complete his own FFQ (if he were lucky enough to receive one) in order to get a pass to the fountain. First and foremost, Neopets is a game. Bob should be using his own progress in the game to achieve goals and reap the benefits, not someone else's.

but this doesnt make any sense at all! if TNT allow people donating dreamies, then this amounts to the same thing!

I read that as you not being able to recieve someone's pet and paint it for them, but I thought creating a pet, painting it, and sending it to someone would be okay?

I'm sure creating it and adopting it out to someone is fine, but specifically asking someone to use their FFQ for a pet you want isn't allowed.

Ah okay, I see. :) I will stop telling people that creating customs for people to get the Buzzin' avatar is okay then. It's probably in the murky grey area- unlike sending a pet to get painted, and then getting it back, it's not really tracable, but it's not in the 'spirit of the game' as TNT would say, haha.
