I don't recall saying anything aside from that the economy was ruined because people took advantage of those wanting specific villagers? Yeah I called Raymond basic but I mean... That's not... an attack on anyone who likes him?????????
The conversation is nothing to do with the villagers themselves but the fact people are ruining the economy by inflating the price of specific villagers. I mean..... 950 tickets for ONE villager is ridiculous if they apparently sell for 300k. People are free to do what they wish with their nook mile tickets and bells and what not but it sets a bar for everyone else wanting to buy or sell that villager.
Personally I do not see the appeal in Raymond (the one in question and mentioned in this thread to sell for that much) and can't believe his worth is THAT high when other popular villagers in NL (Like Marshall) would only go for a few million bells.
The hysteria is that they do not have amiibo cards and people take advantage of it. :T
My post was not solely to you. Everyone is throwing shade at how boring popular villagers are, and acting like people who genuinely like them are the problem, and if people just didn't find appeal in "basic" designs, everything would be all hunky dory.
It's the mindset across several websites, I'm just venting because the problem is not that people like a design y'all don't, it's that people are greedy jerks and other people aren't willing to just wait, and instead feed into the volatility.
Idk the community is just grossly ruder now than it was back in NL, and it's disappointing that people are directing things the way they are.
950 was low for Raymond, lmao. He went for 2.5k nmts last night. I'm not saying he's worth that, at all. I'm just saying that just because some people are doing this doesn't mean for a second that him being popular is the problem as I wish people wouldn't ... make it sound like he's not allowed to be popular or highly liked.
Uhh, there IS a negative impact?? If people are buying large amounts of NMT for real-life currency, and in turn offer large amounts of NMT for items, etc, this drives the 'price' up for those who do NOT purchase these because to be honest, buying items for real life currency for items that are not MEANT to be purchased for real-life currency is walking on thin ice. This in turns negatively effects those who have morals and do not buy them, and have to work way harder for things, due to unreasonably and artificially inflated prices.
Also, your age is pretty irrelevent in this conversation, so why mention it? It doesn't add or support anything...
They said I grew up in an age of microtransactions so it is? Jesus lmfao.
There literally isn't, though. If you aren't forced to buy villagers or items in this game, then how? You can get all of these villagers yourself. Literally, every single one. Go to an island and be 'honest' about it.
And I was confirming that I didn't, so thank you. Bye lol, but thank you for trying to take the moral high ground and saying that I don't listen to other people's opinions or am capable or reasoning. I just don't feel like this topic is worth anything - It's a game, is what I'm saying. There's no reason to cry about how people choose to enjoy it when you can enjoy it yourself in a different way. That's all.
I think most people get their tickets to sell or use from those entry rates of 1-5nmt to see celeste or other traveling npcs.
Also noticed people making multiple player characters to get a ton of tickets in one day lmao.
But yea no they cant be duped as they arent a "placeable" object.
yeah exactly like i really don't... see the problem in NMT. sure 1k is a lot. but it's not that hard to make that much in a day and save if you're savvy about it. i understand if you don't TT and it seems harder but there are numerous ways you can accumulate NMT within a day just by trading little by little.
a lot of these people really aren't duping as much as you think they are. just be happy there's a 2nd economic system that's....honestly easier to grind for instead of bells. i'd rather trade 1-5 NMT's in a trade than drop like 500k-1m bells, but i guess that's personal op

950 tickets going at 300k bells for one is literally..... 285,000,000 bells essentially based on market value in this sites economy.
If..... 950 is low.... I don't..... That's inflation honey not a deal dkjfndkjfndkjfn. 2.5k nmt is even WORSE that's 750,000,000 bells.
NO VILLAGER IS WORTH 285 MILLION BELLS. Let alone 750 MILLION.
The game values miles at 3k/500 miles. Thats 6k/1,000miles. (In the beginning it was closer to 10k/1,000miles based on nooks tent offer but thats still.... way off 300k LMAO)
He's allowed to be popular
hes allowed to be highly liked
but in no way should he cost 2.5knmt.
Selling for 950 is still VERY excessive
and you're feeding right into the "Oh thats normal" mindset by claiming 950 is "low"
Like... No... That's..... That's not..... What. I don't. Understand. lmao.

The issue is the inconsistency with the value of nmt.
Are they worth a small tip to go towards a visit or 300k? Would you drop 300k just to visit the able sisters?
Or would you use something you could sell for 300k towards 10 bags of flowers not even worth 20k?

I'm just going to say I never said I agree with the economy right now, you're not the only one who has called him basic, and I just wish people would stop blaming the wrong people.
Wow（○Ａ○）
Jealous of those who got that many tickets. I get maybe one a day. But why is tickets the new trading thing instead of bells? So people can visit islands and look for villagers? Or because they can sell the tickets?

Both.
I'm the latter. Like a person said (i think, sorry if i'm misquoting) the Ticket to Bells ratio is mad stupid. Paid my whole house loan with 10 tickets alone lol.
Since I'm the one who did use the phrase "shame on you" I don't mind stepping in here to try to explain a little better. I'd first like to apologize if I hurt anyone's feelings by using that phrase. I was grumping about the fact that people can use real life currency to give themselves an advantage in game. But I truly didn't mean for anyone to be upset by it, no harm was intended! I was using that phrase in a lighter manner than I think was interpreted here.
Of course anyone can spend their money on whatever they'd like (that truly isn't my business, you are correct). In a game like animal crossing however, it can actually have a negative effect on other people's experiences. This is a game that heavily encourages interacting with other players, and these forums in particular are an entire community where everyone can play together. When you have some people who are in a better financial position than others and is fortunate enough to be able to spend real life money leisurely like that, it segregates the other members who literally cannot afford to spend that extra money on the nook miles tickets. And suddenly only the "rich" members have the capacity to participate in the markets because those who have to earn their nook mile tickets day by day in game can't even hope to keep up. And then it's only a wealthy man's market...in quite the literal sense. I was grumping about it because on the older games, anyone who had the game all had an equal chance of working hard in their games and participating in the markets here regardless of their financial stability offline. but now with the ability to use real life money to give you an advantage in nook mile tickets, I could see a certain segregation possibly happening here instead.
And yes, anyone could potentially, with enough luck, find the villagers and items that they want. But that's still casting the members who can't afford those tickets offline into a whole another pot. "Oh, you can't afford to buy hundreds of tickets? Too bad for you! Just work harder! Maybe you'll eventually get what you want!." And to me, it still feels like an unfair situation where the rich have the advantage here. I just personally preferred the older days when everyone could play as equals, but I also acknowledge there's sadly not much I can do about this. I can only hope for better days to come!
I'm trying my best to adapt to the new economy but it's so uneven, trading NMT is risky at best right now considering some people are selling the same items for largely varying prices (I've seen 99k IGB, 1NMT and 10 NMT for the same item? I've seen the tickets themselves sell between 200k and 400k IGB?? )
Realistically they'd be worth....12k bells, considering the bell ticket is 500 nook miles for 3000 bells...
I get the islands can have valuable ressources and are... a source of villagers but once again, when it comes to villagers, it's a gamble, at that point just buy the amiibo cards. When theres less than 1/400 chances of getting the villager you want on an island...considering you CAN find the same villagers repeatedly, is it really worth the hype?
I've settled for amiibos at this point. I'll get NMT for a handful of trades but anything asking for 50+ tickets is plain silly by now.
That begs the question then, what's worth 10M bells? I mean, we have the crowns for such huge transactions, do we not? How are people selling things for 10M bells less than a month into the game?
Excuse my ignorance. But isn’t this basically the same as Marshal post welcome amiibo days? Right? We went that high at one point in New Leaf didn’t he?
I just hope the TBT comes back soon, I feel like that would help even things out even a tiny bit, as a lot of people accepted that for payment now that it's disabled still, people are relying more on IGB and NMT

That too. I admit I foresaw the rise of NMT as a currency just before the forum update and spent almost all of my TBT on NMT. In hindsight it was a good move but now i'm just part of the problem that I too despise, can't win them all.
