A Nook Miles Ticket Rant

[roseychuu]

What saddens me the most about all of this is that since it has already spread like wildfire... the rest of us are likely going to either have to conform or be completely left behind and out of trades/deals, etc. Even if you sell things for cheaper, there's no guarantee that others will follow suit.

Case in point, I got the Golden Slingshot recipe a few days ago. I held a free crafting service to make them for folks if they brought the materials and posted a thread on it. And tips were completely optional. But that didn't stop several other threads selling the slingshots and other golden tools like the watering can for like 35 NMT.

I'd like to believe things could change, but... with the damage that has been done, there's a long way to go.

For those of us unhappy with it, let's just hope that good will that goes out, comes back around. I sincerely hope you guys don't end up busting your butts for hundreds or thousands of NMTs just to get your dreamies. I hope things will change.

I can completely relate to this? I remember seeing the cutting board DIY going around for 10+ NMT and when I had Bea crafting it I was offering people to come in and get the recipe for a tip - most people left either 1 NMT or bells, if they couldn't afford the ticket. I've also let people catalog rare items/full sets for cheap and unfortunately, I feel like when it comes with trades you will always encounter someone who will be greedy or asking too much... Or someone who takes advantage of your kindness in turn for their gain, even if they make you seem like the bad guy.

But there will always be people who are kind hearted out there willing to do trades for fair amounts and to help one another in return. And I think those people are what help drive the community forward. I'm sure you made a lot of people happy and smile when crafting the golden slingshot for them! ❤ I promise your efforts aren't for granted! Kindness and fairness is there, you just have to find it amidst the chaos.

i think a lot of people prefer nmts because its easier to drop 10 tickets than 10mil bells especially because you cant use the abd in other towns

Maybe the game should support an "ABD Transfer" between players in-town together to avoid the hassle of umpteen bags of bells?

Asking for a mandatory tip isn't a tip, that's a fee.

True ;; but my point being that I was flexible with others and that you can find fairness and people who are flexible with their own trades as well.

What is with the Nook Mile Tickets fad? (no offence to anyone personally, I love you all! >.<). But I'm not liking this new thing of everyone switching to nook mile tickets as a form of currency. Where are people getting 50? 100? 500?!

Are people still finding a way to duplicate items, or are we still seeing the after effects of when that was a thing? Are people buying them? I know that's possible...but I refuse to purchase them off of ebay or wherever, that feels like a 3rd party form of micro transactioning (not sure if I phrased that correctly). And shame on you guys if you are, that's creating a huge divide between the people who have no real life money to spare on this stuff. The Animal Crossing community used to solely be rewarded based on the hard work we put into our games, and the bells we earned with that work, not who's the richest member here.

80% of the threads in the market and villager auctions here I enter and then exit immediately because the seller is ONLY looking for those as a form of payment (and not just a couple, usually 20+! just how?). From catching bugs and fishing and going about my daily tasks each day, I'm typically getting 5000 ish points a day which equates to 2-3 tickets.

Feel free to add your thoughts! Educate me if I'm missing out on something here. Debate this (in a mature and non-critical way). Thank you for taking your time to read this. I really just had to get this off my chest, it's kind of gotten me down lately. I feel like I can't participate in a huge part of the community these days.

You can put a payload on your switch and then add in homebrew. The homebrew can be used to get the save file of your animal crossing game, you can then use that save file (via sd card) on your pc and open it with a save file editor. In the editor you can give yourself nook mile tickets, unlock diy recipes, give yourself bells whatever you want. Also you can add in items etc.

You can then of course back up the edited save file on your switch and boom. You got like 50 billion nook miles.

To be honest I could have 2000 nook mile tickets tomorrow. I just have to roll up a piece of tinfoil.
It ruins the game for me so I won't do it.... but those selling on ebay make money selling nook tickets that they generate by using a save edit. I could sell a full inventory of nook tickets for 8 dollars and still make a killing cause it costs me nothing to obtain them.

nintendo can easily fix this NMT market, make it so that you have to use miles to visit the island, not buy a stupid ticket. And all currently owned tickets can be converted to miles.

or make it nontradeable.

How do we know u dont already do it?? Lmao

NMTs value will stop being inflated when the new villagers get amiibo cards. It kinda sucks villager to villager trades are deemed unequal because of that...

 

[Selky]

It's wishful thinking, but maybe Nintendo can release a patch if they get enough requests so that Nook mile tickets are either

1. Not droppable
2. Sent to DAL, and not the inventory. (We know this is possible because of the beginning of the game)

I like this idea. I was honestly surprised when I heard NMT were droppable /tradeable. I just assumed they were locked to the player.

Tickets were a terrible idea and I hate them.

pretty sure ninty didnt expect them to be worth this much. they WOULDNT be worth this much if it wasnt for the dupe glitch.

day 1 i saw them going for 50k,which is a reasonable price to me. 300k isnt

It flat out sucks how the trading is broken due to NMT and IGB inflation.

It's very likely that the ebay sellers are hacking. The fact that a lot of them have "endless stock" of NMT along with rare sets is just a huge red flag. I'm assuming that some people on this site are purchasing the listings since the inflation increases daily (unless someone can record how they got 1,000+ NMT without trading for probably hacked ones or hacking themselves)

Lastly, there could be a secret method that does not involve hacking, given people had hinted at it before. Either way, the NMT are not being acquired fairly.

Looks like Staff is cool with it according to a recent update.

There is still a duplication method similar to previous games that still exists, people can still use that and it's fairly common, it's why im waiting for all this to roll over so btb can be used, that way I can avoid hacked or duped items completely. Allot of players say they time travel for their tickets and get hundreds a day, which is a blatant lie. Because you get about 500 points per year if you do that method, and you aren't gonna be getting hundreds of tickets that way unless you go on an insane grind all day, then getting them from the abd will actually take hours to do if you are getting hundreds. It's a combo of hacking, duping, and those who accept said hacked items for an advantage. There are those who also do art and giveaways that get donated the nmt as gifts, but its impossible to tell when nmt are hacked by a player and if they were even the one who hacked or duped the items into existence. But the hundreds of nmt per trade is clear that such methods have clearly made their way onto the forums.

if you look at videos about duping items, you see clearly that you wasn't able to dupe mile tickets, only a item that is able to be "placed" on the table was able to be duped
so i don't think those ppl got the possibility to dupe NMT oooooor there is a new dupe glitch we haven't seen so far

When the duping bug was going on, Nook's Cranny board was flooded with "Buying as many NMTs as possible. 450K IGB each" threads. No non-cheater is paying half a million bells for 2000 miles worth during the first 2 weeks of the game's release.

Heh.. "dumpling bug".. XD

But yeah, the dupe glitch abusers definitely destroyed this games economy for their own benefits...

lmao, its still possible to dupe items, that method was for placeable items via single console, there was a method discovered shortly after the patch for duping whole inventories of any item that can be dropped at a friends island, no need for placeable items (though insects and fish cant be duped thisway)

 

[Khaelis]

There was an update to the trading policy for the forums.. they lifted the ban on certain items that were duped. They basically gave up. Duping abusers buying out NMT won, and screwed everyone else over.

Enjoy paying for things with over-valued tickets! Enjoy grinding out Nook Miles for hours on end for one villager! :/
