Cheating in animal crossing new horizons

[MasterM64]

I said this in another thread, but I feel like TBT currency becoming available as a form of payment will bring more stability to the economy since it is more controlled due to TBT Staff doing measures to prevent abuse. Also it is desired because it works for many kinds of transactions from TBT Collectibles to even trading in New Leaf still.

When it comes to people cheating or not, there will always be people cheating the system no matter what, but there are also people who just play and traded a lot to have that much stuff as well.

Wow. Someone sounds salty... you do realize there is a literal global pandemic happening right now, right? Where literally hundreds of THOUSANDS of people are being forced to stay in their homes? In some countries even police force is keeping people in?
Yeah so there are people right now who have played the game for 300hrs already because of this. Heck I am an "essential employee" and almost at 170hrs.

So to say anyone who has that many obviously~ needs to be investigated is very belittling to a lot of people who literally can't do anything else but sit on their butts and play games to ignore what is going on outside and hope no one in their family dies.

Aside from that and on a less gloomy take:
People tip trades with NMT.
People will buy recipes with NMT.
People buy hybrids with NMT.
I'm sure people are selling art of NMT, too.
It would not be difficult to have your own earned NMT (which isnt difficult) then have a surplus extra via those means.

Unfortunately amiibo cards are really expensive,

Since literally anybody can make their own amiibo cards, they shouldn't be too expensive.

I, personally, dont want fake cards... so if you want real ones they can get expensive.

But the fake cards are about $4 a piece with shipping? (Some as high as $12~)
So even if you want to just get your dream team of 10 that is a minimum of $40. Which can be argued as expensive.

I was talking about the real ones, please also understand not everyone has the money to buy amiibo cards especially as of right now

If Nintendo ever releases amiibos for the new characters, I'm sure it will help some of the prices subside

then people will be like $200 for Raymond amiibo card

A fan made card from Etsy will cost you a couple of bucks, and they work exactly the same as the real deal.

I'm sure they'll release cards for the new villagers in an updated, or new series.

I wish we had a laugh react.

 

[Amilee]

then people will be like $200 for Raymond amiibo card

Making your own amiibo cards requires nfc215 stickers (go on amazon look em up), and an app called TagMo, super easy to do, dont be stupid and pay crazy prices for a card you can make yourself for 50cents or so.

pm me for a video with instructions.

We can't change what other people do or how they behave. All we can do is change what we, ourselves, do, and how we behave. If you don't want to pay an outrageous price for a dreamie villager, you will have to spend more time and effort trying to get them another way. I have been outrageously lucky with my island-hopping trips and have come across Judy, Audie twice, Sherb twice, and many other "top tier" villagers who aren't the new ones (no Raymond yet, but I'l okay with that) - I'm happy to be able to help other people get them, since I don't want them for myself. I wouldn't pay an exorbitant nook miles fee for any villager, period; I've resolved to either find mine for reasonable prices or to slave away island-hopping until I run into them.

Pay what you want, and what you are able. I'm sure many people are nice enough to accept offers that are on the lower side if you just talk to them about it. Accusing people of cheating because they have what you want and/or throwing tantrums isn't going to accomplish anything. It is not worth getting upset or emotional over. It is a game that is meant to be an escape, a form of stress relief. If you are truly this upset about anything related to Animal Crossing, I would strongly but kindly suggest that you take a very big step back and reevaluate this. Being frustrated is one thing, but lashing out at others is another entirely.

You paid $60 for the game and $300 for a switch.

Just wait until amiibo cards come out for the new villagers, the prices should drop since the villagers will be easier to obtain

Which is more justifiable reason on not wanting to send another $40+

If youre spending that much already, you should be able to pay a bit extra for items. People do that alot in other types of games. If nintendo was selling NMT, would you call it justified?

I also forgot to say this in my original comment: You're talking about not being able to buy some video game animal you want because you don't have the amount of fake currency that would be necessary. How in the f*** is that even in same ballpark as segregation? Don't ever compare something like this to racial discrimination, that was straight up clownry.

unless the amiibo cards are all bought by scalpers...

Been noticing allot of people saying things like nmt and gold cannot be duped since the patch, heads up. The day the patch happened people discovered a method to dupe full inventories of items within a few minutes. There is also a Homebrew program already available that allows users to spawn as many items as they want and just save and reload similar to new leaf. Not wanting to get into the argument of everyone saying how they get nmt or anything, but just laying out that these methods do exist and are easily obtainable by the average player with a friend on their switch or access to Homebrew (which the majority of people do)

How I see it:

1. It's just a game. Who cares if people hack, time travel, buy tickets online (eBay, Etsy, etc).

2. Villagers who are popular are going to sell for than an average villager. This is called supply and demand, as I stated in the Raymond thread. Price gouging isn't fair, yes, but no one says that you have to give them your money.

3. I don't think the mods need to crack down on anyone. How people play their game is their business, even if we may not agree with it. The Bell Tree has nothing to do with how people play Animal Crossing as a whole.

4. People who play the game how they choose doesn't make them cheaters just because it's not the traditional way of playing it.
5. Be patient. Getting villagers you want takes time. If you can't find reasonable prices online, just island hop for a while.

6. I don't if the wage gap and segregation are the right terms to use in the issues around pricing in an Animal Crossing game. I mean, come on- this game was originally for children anyway. Why are grown adults having hissy fits about over the fact they can't have the cat they want? This comment is directed at no one specific, just the issue's attitude as a whole.

7. To reiterate: it's just a game.

How about we all lower the prices so noone has to cheat
