not trying to be rude but if you want to (possibly) bug your game you're free to by my rules.

Ahh, gotcha, that’s understandable, then! I’m not 100% sure either so I get wanting to be careful for now.
I don't know how you could possibly reach the conclusion that I wanted to use the glitch from a post where I heavily condemn it but ok lol
It's probably because people should really learn of the consequences and majority who tend to dabble on these are for profit. If they can put that effort to mass duplicate items, they should put the same effort of researching of preventing possible severe drawbacks of that. Maybe that's just me. You're right though. they shouldn't be "punished" for it but I can't exactly sympathize with them. (Sorry to those who are mainly curious. The majority are just taking advantage of people who are still not aware of it and charging these unaware people with godawful high prices. I really can't sit with that at all.)
Oh, sorry, I assumed you wanted to use it since you defended it a bit. Apologies
I didn't defend it at all. I did the opposite. I said that duping items and then inserting those items in the economy is unfair to other players. like, I explicitly said that.
saying that we don't have evidence that the glitch can ruin your save data isn't "defending" the glitch, it's just the truth. and I get that it's reassuring to think that people who take advantage of programming oversights and who scam other players will get retribution in the form of a save corruption, but that's often not the case.
looked on nookazon just now, some listing are like 5 nmt for one and then we have a person that wants whitney and then someone selling one for 10 nmt, a few scammers

true but it does help comfort dupers although you're right I should look more into what somebody says before commenting
That's exactly my stance. I feel like avoiding trades is the only thing I can do to protect myself and others.

Someone can tell me if I'm wrong, but from what I'm seeing, the duping should not affect us as traders. Well, I guess it does in the sense of you worrying about getting items that weren't gained legitimately. (Sidenote: Honestly, probably a large amount of the NMTs out there in the trade market were hacked in and I see those openly traded.) But I don't think any items you obtain that was duped, whether you know it was or not, will cause any issues.
The bugs/glitches that can break your game that people like @Dormire are talking about affect the duper themselves. In the act of duping the item, they are causing invisible bugged items in their own house that aren't moveable and could potentially cause their save problems in the short or long term. Any items that were successfully duped and pickup-able should be treated by the game as a legitimate item.
I am NOT condoning duping. I do not support it and don't do it. But what I'm saying is that you shouldn't be scared away from trading completely just because this exists. If you trade with trusted people, and especially avoid "deals" on expensive items like katanas, then your game should be fine.

I've known about this for around a week or two, someone in our server sent us a video. I don't understand the whole "let people play the way they want" argument. I also don't get why it's ok to say that about TTing but not duping lol

It did. But either someone found a new method of doing it, or a new patch introduced a new bug that allowed people to dupe. Either way, not really a good look for Nintendo here.
As long as they roll out a patch for it quickly, everything should (probably) be fine. That being said, this bug has been known for at least two weeks according to some people here, so it's arguable as to whether Nintendo has reacted quickly, even if they were to roll out a patch right this second.

yes. This. There's been a save editor out for a long time now.
Because hypocrisy is a hell of a drug, and a large portion of the fanbase is addicted to it. There, I said it.

The difference is Nintendo themselves has directly said they don't see TTing as cheating. Duping is something Nintendo specifically does NOT like and sees as cheating. That's why they patched the last duping method out.

Ive always wondered the same! imagine being the first person to (im assuming) accidentally stumble upon it lol..
Side note- Wild world also had a duping glitch.
To add, duping actually is (mostly) used by malicious people and take advantage of people who are unaware of this in markets. Poor warning and disclaimer could terribly affect people who did one step wrong with duping.
Also, unlike TTing, duping actually makes you spawn items in thin air while TTing only lets you reset the day and such. You have to actually put effort with TTing. Even me, who has amiibos, it's an effort to grind wood and stone for the DIY requests. I'm still dirt poor and an ugly island to deal with. Dupers won't have to worry with that since their method is "do-or-die", cashing on to some duplicated items with very dangerous risk of potentially getting their saves ruined.
Both are a type of exploit but the other is a lesser evil.
