Any Bad Experiences with Online Multiplayer?

[NinelivesBobcat]

I know this isn't New Leaf, but back when the Wi-Fi servers were still up for the DS and Wii, a lot of people abused 'seeds' in Wild World. Now I've never played Wild World but I have seen videos of it and people mentioning how much of a disaster the mutliplayer was. These hackers would plant 'seeds' in other players' towns and those 'seeds' would turn into buildings. It sounds cool at first until the hackers decide to fill the town with 'seeds' to the point where either the player is stuck, the game slows down really badly or the game crashes. If the game crashes then it will crash every time on the title screen, resulting in the game becoming bricked. I've even heard that some people had their entire DS bricked due to this. Thank goodness 'seeds' were removed in City Folk/Let's Go to the City and New Leaf.

I have never! Thank goodness!

I always watch my visitors in my town, never let them wander past the train station unless adopting a villager. Usually the thefts happen when people are away from their game. Just dont do that folks.

I also only trade with people who have good ratings.

I also dont go on Club Tortimer much. I have been on twice and once was empty and the other time had this guy who minded his own business and fished the whole time.

Holy crap that sounds horrible!! Never heard of seeds before, not that I did online play in Wild World anyway though. I just stuck to local wireless with my siblings and cousins.

The seeds remind me of bad eggs in Pokemon where the eggs would spawn more eggs and soon your PC would be filled with nothing but eggs that you couldnt delete.

funny experience
a guy on tortimer island gave me his friend code
when it said "you are now friends with _____!" his status read, "carrie will you be my girl frend" he also offered to give me gold tools (on a hacked town, which he denied) and kept on asking "do you love my"

I remember this and the seeding gangs that would go around terrorizing people's towns
ACWW wifi was fun but really scary sometimes
