Cheating in animal crossing new horizons

[peachmilke]

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 don't think blaming the mods completely makes any sense, because there's multiple people who have to participate a deal, but controlling the economy within an AC themed website versus twitter are definitely two diff things imo if people want to go auction/bet for him for insane prices there they can and that's their choice but for people who don't want to deal w/ within a smaller community I think it's not insane that a cap is set (also it's all rng to if you get him, but if you grind islands to purposely get him and sell him and expect tons of money in return that's on u)

*also a STARTING bid for an auction shouldn't be 500 plus regardless, like i said previously the posts for him are popping up bc everyone wants money and people who want him are willing to bite but it inflates things for everyone involved after awhile

Yeah, they're of course different. OP appeared to be blaming the mods of this website for the entire situation though, which isn't fair or helpful.

yea i agree with you then, blaming solely mods is just a bad move and won't help anyone

As someone that currently has over 50mill in the Bank and over 200 NMT I find highly offensive that it could be considered cheating of any kind for me to have that amount.

I’m an Animal Crossing veteran, I had the GameCube game on Pre-Order and have literally put Thousands upon thousands of hours into the franchise. I have been a part of this forum since early New Leaf so when New Horizons came out did I scrimp and save by selling fish and fruit? No I didn’t because that’s not where the money is, the money is in two places... a) the turnips and b) having something that people want. So instead of scrimping in days 1, 2 and 3 I found out what Sets were available in game, traded with people on here until I had the full set (antique was my first) and then let people catalogue them for Bells & NMT, this started off at 25k Bells or 1 NMT and a week ago I had someone pay me 50 NMT to Catalogue two different sets,

Have I in any way cheated to get where I am right now? Absolutely not, I have used good business sense to find a market and be one of the first ones to market something people want. In doing so I have in 19 days since release played the game for over 160 hours, that’s 160 hours of mainly trading because it’s something I like to do,

Could any single person that buys this game have done the exact same thing I did? Yes they could. To be called a cheat for having the big money is massively offensive after 160 hours of grinding out deals. I took part in no glitching, no cheating and to my knowledge never took the bells of anyone that did,

This game is fantastic in that you can play it however you like, if you want to sit back, relax play for two hours a day you can, if you want to become the Richard Branson of Animal Crossing and sit on piles of legitimate bells you can, everyone’s experience is different,

don’t be bitter because people are having a different experience to you.

Pretty much my view here.

Bingo.
It's not a question of cheaters vs people who play fairly. This is full of people who want instant gratification and are upset that they can't have it at the speed and method that they want.

This thread is still open? mods seriously need to close this because its getting out of hand, this isn't even about the NMT anymore

I find it crazy and honestly game breaking...

People are buying tickets online with actual money - I think the highest was $6,500.

I don’t get it... like I’d get maybe spending $10 on a villager because it’s like buying the amiibo card, but cheaper.

I have Audie in my town and tbh - I plan on capping her auction at 100NMT or a little more MAX.

What the actual heck are you going to do with 2,000 nook miles tickets?

Unfortunately amiibo cards are really expensive, most of the popular villagers like Marshal, Merengue, and Julian are going for almost 70$ on eBay which is literally insane so I can see why people are trying their chances with the NMT instead of amiibo cards...

You could also just go with fanmade ones which are way cheaper and work the same.

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.

So basically for non-TTer's such as myself this is virtually impossible.

 

[0kamu0]

the one thing I don't understand is why people see buying NMTs as different to buying amiibo cards? I wouldn't do either but both are paying real money for in game things. No shame if you do either play the game how you want! Some amiibo cards can get really expensive too (like marshal's is selling for 90+ dollars on ebay). The major difference I guess is buying nook mile tickets is more third party-feeling, but to me it seems the same level of fair (or unfair depending on how you see it).

But i am open to having my opinion changed if someone explains how they are different

Well I didn't even know those existed...

there are guides on how to get them, or you can check etsy

Even with tting its close to impossible, source am a tter

It took me forever to get Judy. I had to wait until someone was auctioning her for bells to even stand a chance. There are also a bunch of hybrid threads asking for an insane amount of tickets. I just want to play the game normally ahhhhh!

On Etsy there is this shop that sells just the data. I got 10 villagers for 25 USD :>

Then play the game normally... Nobody is holding a gun to your head telling you to do these trades. There are plenty of generous giving people on these forums that aren't asking for these prices so search for those threads and you'll be set.

Woah! How?
