I'm completely fine with other people hacking their game. I'd be okay with buying/trading for hacked items *provided* I knew they were hacked. I haven't knowingly done so yet but that's more because of the rules here than any moral stance on my part.
I know ACWW had the risk of "seeding" ruining your town but to my knowledge that isn't something that's happened in ACNL. I'd be happy to visit a hacked town or have them visit me, though I'd rather know in advance just because I find open and honest communication more reassuring than finding out for myself.
I can see why some are concerned about how allowing hacked items to be sold would affect the economy here. I do think that if hacked items were clearly labelled and sold as such, then people could make their choice about whether to purchase legit or hacked items depending on individual preferences. Personally, I'm happy to pay premium prices and I favour convenience over saving some bells/TBT, so I'd purchase a mix of legit and hacked items. I don't use other sites to get items as I prefer the wifi/trade rating system here, but there's nothing stopping people here looking elsewhere for cheap hacked items as it stands. They're just at higher risk of being scammed or harrassed etc.

I dont want anything to do with hacked villagers or flowers though. Those seem to come with risks or consequences I'm not prepared to put up with. If they were being sold as hacked items with full disclosure of what that means in this particular instance then I'd have no problem with them being sold.
