Just imagine how much money Nintendo would make if they would offer NMT as microtransactions right now...
But yeah, I never thought the cat with the glasses would become the Holy Grail of AC where people bid their last (virtual) shirt for him. I wonder if the whole need for NMT may gets less if TBT are gonna be a thing again?

I do agree that 2000 tickets is suspicious as hell, but that's about it. This isn't segregation. I would wish for a community without cheating as well, but NMT are able to be obtained legitimately especially using forums like TBT.
I agree that the NMT amount for Raymond is defintely too much even considering that Raymond is not avaliable from amiibo now. I even know that there is someone buy Raymond with 800 RMB (which is about 115 dollars!!!) and runs into the amiibo force glitch.....
But I can provide something from my point of view as a Chinese player.
I know that in China, lots of players earn NMT or IGB by "inviting" people to their island for:
1. Have a chance to speak with Celeste/Saharah
2. Buy turnips from Daisy Mae for as low as 90 bells.
3. Sell turnips as high as 500+/600+ bells.
4. Exchange furnitures/Crwons
And these threads consists 90% more of all the threads....
They usually charge 1 NMT (some would charge 2-4) or 20k+ bells for 1 time
And a lot of people coming...
So that's not very hard for them to get lots of NMT by just letting people come...

Would TBT putting minimum account age for to selling or buying villagers help at all? Are a lot of these exuberant transactions being made by new accounts? That might also help reduce the risk of scam transactions?
Exactly! I think calling this situation an issue of "fairness" is completely ridiculous lol.
The game offers us all a "fair" chance at these villagers- it's not like some people get a glitched game where Raymond won't appear, and everyone on the trading boards is trying to cut corners in some way to get what they want. Getting mad that some people are willing to go more extremes than someone else to get their villager seems like a whole lot of hypocrisy to me.

That is exactly what I'm saying I did. It's not hard to gain miles and that's my entire point. As for how I did it: Step 1, have no life. This is mandatory. Step 2. You pick out which tasks to do that are the quickest and easiest to do under the 2x set of tasks Step 3. PRIORITIZE X5 TASKS. Step 4. If you can complete other tasks like selling weeks, sending letters etc(the easy ones to do) do them as well, they add a large number of miles quickly. Step 5. Don't spend more than 10 minutes on any day you're doing. A lot of this is rng heavy, the best day you could have is having a usual 200 miles as one x5 and four x2 and the worst could be having just 5 100 x2's. Im sure I'm HEAVILY overselling how long it took me because honestly, I hadn't slept in two days while grinding. It's just a very rough estimate of how long it took. My overall point is its not hard and not out of the realm of possibility to obtain 2000 nook miles tickets

That's on the sellers/auctioners for letting it get that out of hand. And honestly, you can still obtain a lot of nmt playing the game legitimately. Not anything crazy like 2,000 (not even 100) but still a considerable amount. You can earn even more if you're trading things for nmt on the forum in combination with buying them in game. Having 2k of them is super sus, but that's all it is.
I don't see why/how this is something to get so heated about. These are just characters, you should be able to enjoy the game with or without your favorites.

lol That seems like a great way to gatekeep this fandom and keep out new, excited players who are just joining and learning about the AC community.
People will go to extreme lengths to get the villagers they want. Period. Maybe cap the NMT amount villagers can be sold at, but don't shut out new members.

I think this would just deter new people from getting involved in the forums here, which is definitely what we don't need!
yes it's frustrating that prices are inflated, but i think that some people are taking this way too seriously. wait a few weeks and the prices will go down as more people get the new villagers. temporary inflation in a video game economy should be the least of our worries in current times.

I feel like everyone is getting super heated about something that's always existed. First off, the nook miles tickets thing is probably legitimate, though unfair. Even with the original duping glitch you couldn't duplicate NMT. I don't even Time Travel in NH but the hatred and anger towards hackers and cheaters is usually just so strange to me. It's a game. They aren't worth your energy. Those who will ruin the 'economy' will do it as hackers or do it as legitimate players. I think it's something that the world of AC needs to adapt to, as it has for every single game before it.
How can someone even obtain these many tickets if playing legitimately?
I think I've collected over 100+ Nook Miles so far (I obviously spent quite a few on NMT's and redeemed them for other items but still). I spent hours playing this game and there's just no way to obtain these many Nook Mile tickets.
The only way I see it possible is through acquiring dupe NMT's through eBay (I was guilty of that once myself back in NL where I spent around 30 US dollars to get in-game bells to acquire my dreamie, Zucker).
So it seems people are just taken advantage of at this point.

I didn't mean ban from posting in the forums at all, I meant just specifically the villager trading board and putting the minimum at at most 1 week. I think people genuinely interested in getting involved with the community would be fine waiting for that time? I don't think I implied shutting out new members at all ;w; There's a lot of other things to do in the forums here and villagers are one of the easiest ways to scam people!
A cap on NMT amount would be great but I'm not sure how that number would be decided. For New Leaf I think as time went on people just accumulated so many bells and had nothing to use them on, so it would be difficult for mods to keep updating the cap if people do just have tons of NMT lying around. Would it be helpful at all if all auctions had to have an auto-buy amount so they can't be inflated too much?
yeah you need to take a deep breath mama cause this is NOT segregation lmao
How would it be fair to the people who have grinded islands for Raymond to put a cap on how much they're allowed to ask for him? What would that cap even be? What is "fair" is entirely subective. They're still going to ask for those prices on twitter. The economy has nothing to with the mods of this website. They're not the mods of the game. You don't need Raymond to play the game, and like it or not, you're not entitled to him for a price YOU think is "fair". If you feel you do want him and don't want to pay the prices, grind for him yourself. It's absolutely absurd to get frustrated at the mods of all people.

I mean don't forget everyone's on a lockdown and advised to stay indoors. Expect peeps grinding and staying up late and forgetting about self-care (not to mention messing up one's sleep schedule lol). Personally not my style but just some people I know in real life that are this/ still hyped about ACNH.

All you can do is be the change you want to see like others have been saying. I wont ever sell villagers or items for nook mile tickets or even bells. Ill just keep giving stuff away, but now because of these threads i know who not to give stuff to lol

i disagree
protections to prevent scammers=/=gatekeeping.. if you're new to AC and excited its not like thats going to wear off after 24 hours lol. if a time limit sounds bad to folks, maybe even a minimum post requirement could be helpful.
EDIT: also i'm pretty sure most people new to AC and just learning about the community aren't immediately jumping into nooks cranny to sell their NMT haha
