ALERT! I'M SORRY BUT ALERT!

...The fact that there's such an overwhelmingly positive response to the video on said video itself really makes me feel like the economy is double-doomed.

good luck.
like seriously, good luck. If you mess up and need to restart, don't hesitate to ask me for all the fruits lol

okay so my coward butt doesn't have any 2x1 items (yay i get to postpone this until I find one) I attempted with a 1x1 item, didn't work, I still exited the heck out tho

Man, it's AbdallahSmash at it again.
He also did a whole elaborate tutorial on the first cloning glitch.
I actually used to really like him before but he's starting to rub me the wrong way big time since he started playing NH.

same here. he's just been getting on my nerves now. guess fame really gets you in the head.

one of my friends was playing in the southern hemisphere at night so i decided to go to their town to do some rare beetle farming and let me tell you, the 2 hours i was there, not 1 spawned, not even a goliath. i was so disappointed, perhaps they’ll increase spawn rate at some point?

what?? thats really awful to hear! it makes no sense why they would nerf the spawn rate. maybe its different for dodo islands? rip to my primary source of income

 

[nammie]

yea I was wondering why I suddenly saw ppl (on other sites) suddenly selling like 10 lucky cats at once... and then a bunch of lucky cat auctions popped up here too hope everyone is aware of this, bc the value of the lucky cat and katana is only around 1nmt now.

A lot of people respond positively to tricks to acquire more bells, items, etc. because for most people more is better. If people are duping lucky cats or whatever, it makes it easier for me and everyone else to buy them. I understand it hurts sellers, but those sellers also get to buy things for cheaper prices, so it's not a total disaster for sellers. In my opinion, the more wealth to spread around the merrier, even if it hurts some people a little at the margins.

Yes but then that causes cheaters to have more money so people that play the game normally can't afford to bid in auctions

...I'm sorry, but I just can't celebrate people using exploits and glitches like this. Clearly these aren't legit 'tricks' if Nintendo already patched the first one out.

Honestly I don't bank too much on the AC economy and I don't get people clutching their pearls over a video game economy? I actually do really enjoy glitches and although I buy/sell items online sometimes my immediate thought was just fascination and interest in the technical side of it, and I didn't really think "ohoho yes time to destroy the virtual economy". I'll probably do it because glitches are a fun part of video games for me.

I certainly wouldn't think ill of anyone who preforms it, this type of stuff is fascinating for a lot of people and if someone wants to sell items in their own game, hey what's stopping you. I don't really understand why people are saying a YouTuber is bad for posting a glitch, like I follow video game glitch news pretty closely and it's not like they're being posted maliciously? It's honestly the same as people posting about video game mechanics just highlighting something that wasn't intentional. It's not like this is the only glitch recently recorded either. I've seen about two different ways to get out of bounds in the game discovered in the past week or two.

I also really don't mind YouTubers documenting this since with games that get patched sometimes it's nice to have it recorded.

I do find it really, really funny though that some people are treating it like the man just caused a real life stock market crash for posting a glitch video. Hell if the issue was "how dare this person show exploits in video games", you'd think there'd be a ruckus in this community over time travel exploits too.

I bought a lucky cat from someone. If it happened to be a duped one without my knowing would I potentially lose it in an game update if this was patched or would it be potentially game breaking? I really wanna keep it! I spent all I had to get it, I'm kinda broke in this game.

ahah same! i would make about 2 mil a week from that method in new leaf, i hope i’ll still be able to do the same. perhaps tortimer island can make a comeback for that specifically?

It's not just the economy. The youtuber did NOT post a disclaimer that if this is done poorly, this could cause irreparable damage to your save files. Ghosted items do not just "disappear" if you put them in the storage. The game often do not recognize several invisible ghosted items but it's obvious when you are unable to put things on top of tables anymore but if you fail to retrieve the "ghost" items (like don't know how to make them "appear"/make the game recognize it), it could potentially cause data corruption. Unlike the crowns that it's in a 1x1 controlled area, this isn't. It can actually affect several areas since the items are larger this time.

He actually says it's ok and won't damage the saves but that's just irresponsible. Some people do glitches out of greed but then cry if their save is compromised.

On the bright side, overexposing this can hasten the hotfix. It's still distasteful though. I would rather not suffer in NMT hell any longer.

Personally I don’t go near the ACNH economy often because of the many horror stories I’ve heard so I kinda avoid it if I can. I don’t watch any big ACNH youtubers because imo I find them all rlly obnoxious and annoying.

However, I do think that glitch is kinda sketchy for the fact that it can corrupt your save file or create weird unselect able ghost objects that can mess up your house. There was no disclaimer so that makes it a big red flag for me imho.

wdym "horror stories" by that you mean scams right?

Yeah >•> I know by and large the community isn’t like that but if I can save myself from the trouble, I would. Also I feel like I’ll get most of the DIY items over time so it’s not a big deal for me, but I do understand if it’s just trading for stuff like NMT items or just basic cataloging for furniture.

 

[solace]

TBH: After reading and watching this dupe, IMO, it's not worth it. I remember when someone posted a dupe method for ACNL, where you needed 2 3DS and basically drops bags of bells and dupe them.

This one just seems tedious compared to the ACNL dupe. Relax. The game just came out. Enjoy it! It's not like we have Gracie's to splurge on clothing or multiple islands that need upgrading.

I just don't get it. If you have a group of close-knit friends in the community, you will get by easily! I am in a sub group right now, and the community is helping each other vastly and have each other covered in multiple areas!

Ah yeah that's true, I didn't see so much of that when I was scrolling through though I mostly saw people screaming about the economy. It's irresponsible, but honestly it's not too unheard of for YouTubers to not include a disclaimer to to just not realize the effects, especially if the glitch is newly discovered. Generally it's a good idea to always research the glitch beforehand and to not do them right away. Although I'm researching now and looking into people who are probably more involved and know more about it, I'm honestly planning on doing so with the idea of just making a "cursed room".

I'm not going to laugh at anyone who's save file is compromised though, that's just mean . Especially if it's because they didn't know any better.

well that's something i guess. if it doesn't actually work on 1x1 items that good news, because if it did then so so SO many items could be potentially duped and causee a bug in the game if you buy one. Like to the point of 'maybe don't trade for anything' for a while level of many items

I think you will be able to keep it - you should be more worried about the item itself being glitched and hope the next patch (which presumably will fix this dupe glitch) will ensure it isn't glitched. I've not seen any reports about glitches from the duped items themselves but that's probably because the majority of people I know have been aware and and not bought anything potentially duped
