Anonymous Poll: Just how many AC players dupe?

[kiwi34fruit]

I hope I'm not going against the rules here posting this topic but I am curious. Just how many members dupe in this forum and is it a relatively common phenomenon? If you do not feel comfortable to talk about whether you dupe or not, that's perfectly fine. But I thought at least an anonymous poll would be an interesting experiment.

I don't dupe, because I do consider it to be cheating, and that's bad (and freaking boring). I know that you can play the game however you like whatever, but to me, it's still cheating. However, I have heard a few players mention that's it's just another feature and/or it's in the same vein as time-traveling. What's your stance on the matter?

I don't do it. Part of me doesn't care if others do it, then another part of me sees the negative consequences of duping... I wouldn't say it's victimless since it does change the economy some. xD Either way I'll get good results for my town someday without it. >:3 I'm super motivated (mostly because someone complimented it the other day and it made me happy ; w ; ).

Duping ruins the game. Especially when they dupe bells. Then it's just stupid. If I met someone who duped, I'd immediately remove them off my friends list.
Nintendo needs to find a way to fix this..

I've never thought to do it and I never will. I TT ahead a couple of hours (sometimes even a day and back to reset my stores) but that's the extent I go to of 'cheating' in the game. Whatever, you know? If people want to do it, let them wrestle with their conscience.

It's funny cos staff can see who voted what, and so can the poll maker iirc.

Anyway, nah I don't dupe.

 

[mariop476]

Nah, I've never duped.
Er, 'cept for Pokemon Emerald. I love the Pokemon duplication glitch in it.

 

[BellGreen]

I would never dupe, in my life of existence. Even when I get bored. It's much more fun collecting.
One person said yes. I don't have anything against duping, but wow x3

I think duping and TTing ruin the game for me. They cause the game to become boring. Might just be me, though...

It takes the fun out of collecting things and getting random items as payment. I mean, I gave someone a villager, and I got a crown, a royal crown, most of the 7-11 set, and some other rare items. If I had duped those, it wouldn't be nearly as satisfying.

 

[Swiftstream]

I don't ever dupe myself, it's cheating.

I have, however, seen some other people dupe several 7-11 sets, non-reorderable DLC, and gold tools.
its sad because they own shops and they dupe to sell them for millions.

Gah I had no idea. :C I actually wanted the poll to be anonymous so people would be more honest.

 

[rivulet]

Naah, I don't. Mostly because we're not aloud to do it here. I did it a lot in City Folk, if that counts. xD

 

[Patchwork]

I've never duped and I don't see the point of it when you could easily make millions on the stalk market until you hit 100mil and just let the interest take care of your income.

 

[PlasticPinkPiggy]

I have never actually duped myself. My friend was at my town and picked up my blue rose, she duped right after i ended communications and then I never knew until she told me xD

 

[BellGreen]

I see why the people who said yes didn't reply, they'd probably be hated if so.

Wonder who they are o.o

I do this with 5 of my friends. lol

As long as the majority of members here don't dupe, I'm fine with it. If people dupe, at least TRY not to make it public X3

 

[RoosterInURbutt]

I don't understand...
I took a dupe today. It was alright. Although I did feel the need to shower afterwords...
or is it like duplicating items? Then no, I don't do it. It kills the game. I did it in the game cube game.
Once I started I couldn't stop. Ran out of things to do. Killed it completely.

I dunno if you can see the results, but I'm not able to.
Going on that, I'm assuming the other mods aren't able to view them either.
