A Nook Miles Ticket Rant

[Spooky.]

Tap dance all you want around that one, but it is the same thing.

Can you both just stop? You're going to cause this thread to be closed and frankly I'd like to read it without having to read your drama.

Take it to DMs please.

Actually, we have not strayed far off topic so I think it is fine if we stay here. The thread has not derailed and this is still about NMT.

Lol, not to mention its a RANT thread. What did you expect to find?
Nobody is forcing you to read it.

Makes me wonder how much their cards are going for an ebay.

I don't even think I'd buy a card off ebay at this point with the rerelease of amiibo cards, or so Nintendo says theyre doing
(also considering you can make your own amiibos with nfc tags, people could easily make any villager they want as long as they have the nfc tags for it)

personally I don’t see what the point of this thread being active anymore is in the first place... the website announced a hands-off stance regarding the NMT thing, so idk what’s left to say other than people expressing frustration about it. Is that like a necessary thing to have here? Not sarcastic btw an honest question

I think a lot of people still want to voice their feelings about it? And I think the announcement about it has fueled more frustration as well, because the staff said they're not going to do anything about it, so it kind of added to it all, imo

yeah that’s what I was getting at though, is it important to keep a thread open just for people to express frustration or flat out complain about this? Again, im not saying I think yes or no I’m just not seeing the point. Doesn’t seem like the mods are gonna reverse the stance on it just because of people saying they don’t like it. (And again personally, I think they made the right decision which was not to blanket punish people for something not all of them deserve to be punished for)

I think voicing critique is just as important as mentioning the upsides as well, personally. Sometimes people bond over a common annoyance

This thread has gone on longer than I expected it to, but it is nice to pop in and see I'm not the only one frustrated by all the NMT trading. I don't even bother trading on here anymore because of it.

 

[N a t]

I have mixed feelings about the NMT trend. I kinda like it and hate it, because it only benefits me and hurts me in a couple of ways really. For the time being, I'm still working and also in school although my classes are online. I'm also impatient even though this is meant to be a slow paced game, and I'm lazy because I'm tired from work and school. Saving up to pay off my house loans in this game is killer for someone like me, I hate it, but over the past 2 days I was just doing random things that I enjoy doing in my town like crafting and decorating and was able to save up enough miles for like 5 tickets or so, and sold them for less than average on here. I got my bells for my house and someone got some tickets they might use for their dreamy or maybe an item they really want. The only thing I dislike about them though is that they are used in huge quantities that i can never attain for certain villagers. I'm pretty happy with my villagers, although i really wanted to swap out Cheri for Bluebear. But apparently Bluebear is worth more tickets than I can afford and everyone selling the amiibo card on ebay is doing so for over 20 USD, so that's just not gonna happen. I'm slightly disappointed but I'll live. I think that having a variety of trade fodder or currency is good but only to an extent. The villager market is the worst of it in my opinion. But I'm glad that items and stuff aren't treated quite the same. I feel like this is a very mixed basket situation and could have been something cool but turned to poopoo.

Edit: Sorry for a long wall of text lmao.
TLDR; I think this is both good and bad lol.

Yeah don’t get me wrong I’m as much for complaining as the next guy, just doesn’t seem like anything new is gonna get said here except the usual “I can’t keep up with these rates, I don’t even wanna trade here anymore, people who trade nmt are cheaters yadda yadda yadda” and I guess I’m just saying I’m surprised this is still going on given the recent announcement regarding the shift in bell tree’s stance on NMT transactions. I would have assumed it would make a lot of these arguments/points more or less irrelevant (at least when it comes to this particular website.)

I have my own opinions on the NMT ticket situation but will not be voicing them because it won't do any good.

All ima say is, i made a board similar to this the other day, as was told off by LeGitiMaTe PLaYerS who are inNoCenT and just do LeGitimAte TraDing to get thousands and thousands and thousands of tickets.

And someone spilled the beans yesterday with a comment like "you can get 100 tickets for 1 dollar" and that caused everyone to rub their chins and now no one trusts anyone especially the "LEgiTimaTe pLaYerS" who have thousands of tickets.

The thing that concerns me over this whole situation is the fact that people are willing to spend real-life money on digital currency. Isn't this the type of stuff that could be considered microtransactions if Nintendo was the ones doing this themselves? If they see this and see that lots of people are fine with it, they probably will add microtransactions in the next game. Or at least consider it.

I saw someone sell Raymond on ebay for somewhere around $50 USD (or 45 Euros).......

 

[meggiewes]

@trashpedia Raymond for $50 USD? That is almost as much as the game itself and is a bit ridiculous. If, as a community, there isn't some backlash against this, there is no reason why we should complain if there is any sort of paid DLC or a microtransactions component is added because the community is broadcasting that we would pay for it. That would be my honest worry.

 

[Yeosin]

just came here to say i love NMT economics as I'm someone with amiibo cards, TBT currency & in-game bells so i can abuse it lmao.
i can buy 60 iron for 1 NMT and I still have like 1000 tickets j chilling in my inventory. Kinda nice tbh.
other people who don't TT or use any form of amiibo cards cant rlly do that which is rough but I suppose that's part of the trade-off.

I like this take. If there are microtransactions, then people will complain about them heavily, but if the same people are paying $50 for a cartoon cat that says the same things as 20+ other villagers, then what's the real difference? Don't get me wrong, I don't want microtransactions, but wow.

this thread... *chefs kiss*

Been doing a little more trading with NMTs, and I guess I don't mind it as much anymore? They've just become a secondary currency to bells, especially because actually using them is a complete waste 90% of the time. You don't actually use tickets, just hold on to them as a more valuable/convenient means of purchasing things.

The main thing I dislike about them at this point is that the value completely invalidates the mystery island system, though this is ultimately the fault of the game itself. Not really any point to going to mystery islands when at best, you'd be making 100-200k profit in bells vs just selling them. It makes taking the gamble feel kind of bad when you know whatever you get a trash island with your native fruit and flower you actively just wasted 200k bells. The only real value would be island hopping to find a villager, but given that you have like... 1/350 chance of getting the villager you want, unless they're new, you might as well just buy them with the tickets. The price has been dropping on them a little, so they're 100-200kish now, but the point still stands.

As far as inflation in trading, I see it, but you can just trade your own things and get a decent supply of tickets. There's ridiculous things like people asking 5 tickets per turnip selling trip, but there's plenty of reasonable deals/traders if you hunt for em.

As someone with no amiibo cards, I've had decent luck just offering cataloging services for wanted items/selling hybrids. Not in the 1000's of tickets range, of course, but most things are well well under that price. The only things going for hundreds of tickets are the new villagers, and the hype's gonna die down when Nintendo releases their amiibo cards.

What was really concerning was that there were actual reviews and such, and the listing had something like "35 sold / More than 10 available" which is what ebay usually posts on products to show quantity and that people are buying the product. I don't wanna point fingers and say "Omg he's hacking!!!!1!!11!11 They're a CHEATERRR!1!!!!! RRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" but I don't think that's possible, unless the person is A) trying to scam people and the listing is fake or B) the person has somehow managed to find a way to duplicate Raymond.

Spoiler: Link to the ebay offer if you're wondering

Yeah, at first I got a ton of NMT just doing hybrid sales and then flipping tickets and villagers once the amiibo glitch went away.
Now that we know there's a new villager glitch I postponed that tho oof rip economy

It's definitely B. Same way people can sell 400+ NMT on eBay over and over within an hour.

It's similar to if someone generated a text file with 400 characters, copy and paste those 400 into another file and then shut the original host file without saving. Constantly re-loading the original "text" file top copy-paste into someone else's document...
