Haha, so did I. I don't care to be lectured about effort and reward; I've been playing the site for more than six years and have achieved quite a bit, thanks to a lot of effort. 1k and a codestone is literally almost nothing to me (which is probably why I don't see this as such a big deal), and I'm arguing just for the hell of it anyway. (Also, I didn't see any throat-ripping! Where's the throat-ripping!? I definitely want in on that! )
dandelions, the thing is, any codestone deflation caused by this is going to be VERY minor and last maybe a week. This isn't like the advent calendar where everyone on the site knows about it and gets the prize; this is (relatively) few people, many of whom are actually using the codestone for training or sticking it in their own SDB (as I did). I'm actually surprised prices dropped at all... that 500np could even be the normal codestone price fluctuation.
Note: If anyone from TNT tells us to stop posting these/collecting the prize if we haven't bought the mag, I will definitely stop. However, I sincerely doubt they mind everyone collecting these, as they've publicly said they don't mind people clicking the Tarla links (even if they haven't downloaded the toolbar), and those give out much more valuable prizes.

Thanks again! :D Zei Codestone here. Also, capitalizing the word will result in wrong answer :p

I think they just don't care, Iggy, or else they want to deflate codestones. The prices have been ridiculously high lately, and TNT often does something when that happens (creating the tomb in geraptiku and giving them out there, handing them out as mystery pic or lenny c prizes, etc.). And I eventually expect the prices to fall a lot, if they ever get around to this (last paragraph):
I was chatting with a friend recently and mentioned that I didn't enjoy having to buy three or so codestones every time I wanted to train my battle Neopet, Wish a statistic point. So my friend suggested that I should train with dubloons, because they're cheaper. However, Neopets with levels over 40 aren't allowed to train at the academy. What about on Neopets' special days? Lenny Day is coming up and I'd really like to know. Luv ya TNT. ~forever_future
Alas, yes, Cap'n Threelegs' Swashbuckling Academy is cheaper, but is meant to train only lower level Neopets. Since he's the one that offers free training, Neopets over level 40 don't get free training on their special day. *sniffle*
Don't tell anyone we told you, but we're currently discussing some possible features for higher level Neopets. *shifty eyes* It will be quite some time before we speak of this again, though, so don't ask.
Uhhh...except they have been deflating. The codestones I got were about 700np cheaper than usual and the spendy ones (Eo and Main last I checked) were about 1500np cheaper.
You're just complaining because it's something to complain about. It doesn't especially effect you personally, and I think you're just mad because TNT doesn't care.
Hell, I think I'll use my german phrase

Seriously, quit bitching.
If you think this makes me mad, you obviously have never seen me in my mad mood. Trust me on that one.
And, quit bitching about my bitching, please. That's just hilarious. And not serious.
