IMHO there are a lot of kitchen utensils in the ACNH kitchen that called each other "colourful" names, and failed to look at the reflection on that silver double door refrigerator. One would also think that with the words like "glitch" and "exploit" implicitly carry the notation "do this at your own risk" when it comes to videos and whatnot.
Nintendo will patch any bugs that is affecting normal game play, e.g. the Bunny Day ballon fiasco took under 48 hours to resolve. Time traveling related plot glitches, new villagers keeping old house exterior... not so much of an high priority issue as that is not "normal" game play. If the dup items affects the creators, I would assume Nintendo will not be in a hurry to fix either, but if the dup item affects innocent players who got it as trade, then Nintendo may act more expeditiously.
Indeed. A research is a must if you do exploits and glitches (esp. if it's as risky as this or the multiplayer bug right now). I don't do exploits but I do value protection for my customers and for myself so I research any risks and glitches to warn them if we trade. I'm mainly a trader in AC since New Leaf but I've been doing research as well on increasing safety for trading since I don't want to lose potential trading partners.
I'm not gonna laugh at them but they deserve to be criticized for being tempted with this, yes, it's inevitable but it's called a "glitch" for a reason. It's a double-edged sword. While, yes, you may benefit from it but consequences are there as well.
If you're willing to do exploits/glitches, you must be prepared for it's future consequences. Whether if it's a nerf, deletion of items or save data corruption.
that first paragraph hurts my brain even though I understand it
While I have never duped and don't plan to, I honestly don't see the problem with this. It's an exploit, yes, but I wouldn't say it's fundamentally wrong. One of the great things about Animal Crossing is that you can play how you want to. If you're into exploiting glitches, great, more for you. And if you're not? That's fine, you don't have to be a part of this. While the economy might be breaking because of this, there's also people who have genuinely wanted these items for a long time but haven't been able to get them on their own who are now able to with the help of others who don't mind duping. There are plenty of ways to make bells or NMTs or other things through the game. Not to mention duping doesn't work with every type of item.
And with all glitches, it's do at your own risk. But you should certainly never wish a corrupted save file on anyone...

Gaming Chanels weren't that big back in 2013, so today it's pretty clear that this kind of things will get more notice, and also a lot of people bought this game, I truly believe as a novelty and eventually will move on. So that is way a lot of people are happy about this, because they don't care for the game in the long run.
it was over discord, so i checked the persons post history and they were selling lucky cats every 10 min!
oh no ripperoni

I will have to disagree, 2 months is not really a long time in animal crossing, and the effects on the economy will be really bad for all, we will start trading with tv screens. 1 NMT? sure, 3 flat screens, or in reverse I have 200 katanas so 1 NMT each.
How would you feel if you finally found a katana to trade after days or months of playing, only to discover, it's worthless.
Okay, it's not going to get that bad. You could dupe literally anything in New Leaf, and people still traded with bells - and on this forum, TBT.
wdym you could dupe things in nl?

The dupe glitch existed in NL. Nintendo never patched it.
If you look at the post solace made (that Teddy345 recently quoted) duping was a thing back in New Leaf as well. It required either two people or two 3DSes. While you could argue it was harder to dupe then, a lot of people still duped. And this method in NH is arguably slower, and more likely to be patched out soon.

You have a good point, but trades were made easier on NH, I remember the first days the game came out, people were trading 50+ crowns for items or DIY. They even had to ban crowns from being trade. I hope it doesn't get to that, but this in my opinion is worse than the first glitch.
Exactly, my thoughts! I have said in pasts posts during in March that this game will fade out. People that are new to this game do not see that this game requires one to be in it for the long haul.
However, I do think that certain gaming channels were big back then, but you are right it more saturated than ever considering how easy it is for someone to stream and make YouTube videos. I might have a different perspective to the gaming culture in 2013 as my husband was almost a pro for a FPS game and gaming has always been present in my life. But yes, AC had a smaller fanbase back then but as someone who knows about the glitch that profited more back then compared to now, with little risks involved, I cannot help but laugh about the risk vs reward regarding this duping hype.

I remember when I first joined this site, I saw a rule that forbids selling duped or hacked items on this site. Even before I started trading on this site. The whole purpose was to reduce the negative impact cheating has done in ACNL. While most sites wouldn’t mind items obtained illegitimately, TBT is trying to make the economy fair. I remember back when ACNL was the most recent game, the IGB to TBT exchange rate was increasing out of control. Although the collectible craze was the main reason behind the hikes, duping was a catalyst, even when it was forbidden on TBT. The fact that it was allowed other places has affected it everywhere, even on TBT.

I'm thankful I got lucky and got the one lucky cat I wanted and the color (white) via my own Guillver. RIP to the people who paid a ton for the dupes ones.
On the brightside, the more people that know this, the better off they will be in general. Because if you're still willing to risk buying it, you will at least have the knowledge that it could very well be duped and not have to pay atrocious amounts of tickets or bells for it.

I have a bigger problem with a grown-ass man advertising methods that could potentially corrupt people's save data especially when most of his audience are kids who look up to him.
I just think that it's really irresponsible.
Yes, he does say that you could risk losing your items but also mentions right after "but if you follow my steps exactly, you'll get it right and have nothing to worry about" or something along those lines.
I don't think a YouTuber who actually calls himself an Animal Crossing fan should be promoting methods of potentially ruining one's game.
