ALERT! I'M SORRY BUT ALERT!

[Athros]

Idc if people dupe their own items which they use for themselves and face the possible consequences on their own game data. Be my guest. But bringing duped into the economy is a BIG no no!

This could explain why I've seen an alarmingly rising number of lucky cats being sold/auctioned

I'm super glad I got my cats through the way it was meant to be in the game

yeeeah i saw that this morning and was suspicious, but since I haven’t actually watched any of the instructions on how the glitch works I thought it only worked on 2x1 items so I assumed it was just coincidence. Not so sure now.

I dont know anything about this youtuber other than his Yokai watch content but I think insulting him over this video over a video game, where he explicitly stated in the beginning that hes NOT promoting wrecking the economy, isnt very fair. Of course you still got the issue of bringing more exposure to it, thus more people are likely to do it, which I understand people being upset at :O not saying you're not allowed to dislike him, but people are calling him "not a true ac fan" or whatever and I dont think theres any excuse for that.

idk, personally as someone who's fascinated with glitches, especially in speedruns, I think the documentation of this stuff is warranted at least. It's a very interesting look into the game development and evolution. I wouldnt be surprised if a year or two from now someone makes a large video documenting all these hiccups the game faced during its main run.

Could people wait until the glitch is patched before making it largely public? I can get behind that arguement. But at the same time, without the large exposure, it could take Nintendo longer to notice and patch it.

Just saw someone selling lucky cats and katanas for 1 nmt in the tbt discord... I called them out and they basically admitted to having the glitched items. Egh all these glitches do ruin the economy for everyone, thought things were looking up with nmt hype calming down

He doesn't mean any of it, though. He just wants views. If he cared about wrecking the economy, he'd never upload the methods. He's going to get a bit of flack, period.

making a video that helps wreck an economy and saying that this isn't to wreck the economy doesn't justify it.

If a robber makes a video on how to rob a bank saying this isn't to rob the bank it doesn't justify teaching people how to rob the bank

Tbh it won't be long after this is patched that ANOTHER glitch will be found

Hm well to be fair. I only learned about this from this post. Can't wait until the summer and I can catch beetles all night like a scrub again. XD Then I will finally be rich!

Was it on this forum? Because honestly, you both should alert staff to all the users that messaged you.
There is a policy that duplicated items are not to be sold/traded here on the forum so if there was a fair number of people message you there is a possibility one of them may have gotten the items through the duplication glitch... thus, staff needs to be made aware so they can look into their activity. Obviously, they aren't going to be warning or ban hammering innocent people.

Can't wait for Nintendo to fix it by nerfing spawn rates again. But seriously though, can't Nintendo get rid of a duplicate bug for like a month? This must be the third time, yet no one is punished (they shouldn't, not by the devs) and no one is rewarded for not doing it. At this rate they might as well just add a duplicate mechanic to the game.

I agree. If the person who discovered this glitch wanted to be nefarious, they would just keep it a secret and continue to exploit it themselves without telling anyone else. The people who make videos about this stuff do it because they want to share their knowledge with others who want to use it. It may affect the "economy", but not everyone wants to be a part of the economy and it's not the responsibility of people who discover these glitches to keep them secret to protect the economy. Nintendo will patch this out eventually, but people should stop trying to police other players on this until then because it really is just a video game.

i dont mind people wanting to dupe, if they do it, its their choice and doesnt affect me. HOWEVER, this does affect everyone in the big picture because it ruins the game's economy and the value of said items. its disappointing to see this happening because this might actually make it more difficult for people to obtain villagers they want, because people will now being expecting more and the said dupers will have more to offer opposed to people who play the game the normal way.

Honestly, if people dupe, they should keep the items for themselves (or sell them to Nooks) and not try to profit off of other players!
I don't mind people wanting to dupe either, I mind people trying to profit off of non-suspecting players! It's good to let people know not to purchase those items right now and those who dupe should just keep the items for themselves or like I said, sell them to the Nooks Cranny!

How am I going to get back to owning 20,000 TBT now? I plan on making in-game Bells naturally just for sale. If this doesn’t get patched, I will never become a rich member again.

Yeah it was, I messaged the person again asking them if it was duped and they said they got it from gulliver and they time travel but I mean how sure can I be

I have to agree. It's well-documented that publishing exploits puts a lot of pressure on companies to fix those issues in a timely manner. It's a bit different here, because the vast majority of the Animal Crossing playerbase is casual (by the very nature of AC).

I don't think I'm necessarily opposed to people publishing information about duplication glitches; at the very least, it's preferable to people slowly wrecking the economy / people's save files / whatever negative effects of the glitch are. Hopefully this gets patched quickly and things can return to normal.

This! I miss going to Tortimer's island and catching bugs/fish! I spent many hours with a friend doing this and when I reflect on ACNL, the moments on the island were the most precious to me. And not because of the money, it was the bonding that occurred and the community of friends that were very much enjoying the game and economy back then!
