inability to TT forward, non eroding grass,
Are you absolutely insane? Without amibo, I probably wouldn't be playing ACNL with the satisfaction that all my characters are splatoon related. (And, I hope to make Marie and Callie's house splatoon related as well!)
Also, you can easily get amibo items from other players for what, 2-3 TBT each? So cheap!
No: I want the process of getting your favorite villagers, items, etc., not to be tied so much into external payment. There should be a way to get them easier without the Amiibo's. The way to do so, however I'd let the creators figure it out.
Jingle should start giving the retro nintendo games again! They were so much fun!
