I'm so tired of raymond

Hating something thats popular doesn’t make you cooler than other people.

Telling someone "hating something thats popular doesn't make you cooler than other people" doesn't make you cooler than other people.

Better him than *shudder* Marshal

You can't even dupe Nook Mile Tickets afaik. Also, don't buy into those trades. People who are willingly trading that many NMT for a villager this early is kind of pointless imo. I'd rather just wait until the economy stabilizes before I even bother getting dreamies or I'll just get an amiibo card for the villagers I do want.
Unless you can by doing the old dupe trick from New Leaf and in which case, eh.

duped bells, buy nmt

Do I like Raymond? Yes.
Do I like the NMT economy? Definitely not.

I saved up TBT for nothing lol

The most relatable thing I’ve read so far this year

Wow, you really thought long and hard for that one. I edited that out a long time ago.

You can have your opinion. But the nastiness of this community over a cat is astounding to me. I also don’t understand the urge for everyone to announce their dislike of something popular.

I like the villager but this community becomes savage dogs over the ticket craze. That being said. I agree that the absurd amounts of tickets should be alarming to the mods. I don’t know why nothing has been said about it yet, but they are busy with the move and blaming them for it all isn’t constructive. People need to take a breather.

i would never be nasty to him. my point is, he's no different than any other villager and not worth 100m extra

I don't like Raymond myself but as others have mentioned there are different legitimate ways of getting stacks of NMT (trading, selling things for NMT, time travel) so I don't really think most people are duping. I feel like if other people love him that's cool and it doesn't really affect me since I'm not competing with offers trying to get him. People like what they like and if they want to pay big bells/nmt for him I wish them good luck personally
I understand your point though about excessive prices!

I cant wait til TBT is back...
I know I rarely used mine so I know I should have a so-so amount but not a clue how much...

I'm not talking about being nasty to him. I'm talking about the divide that it's created and the hostilities between a lot of people over the offers he gets. Which I also said I understand being a bit concerned about the absurd amounts of tickets for him.

It's so crazy to see how feral everyone goes over him... I like him, but he isn't THAT good. I won't bend over backwards trying to get him lol

Best description of Raymond ever

Same. But like even when it comes back, it feels almost useless now unless you're buying collectibles

I will go out on a limb tho and say that perhaps a post limit be set of how many posts you need on the site before you can try to sell/auction villagers. (edit: before anyone gets mad I'm think 10-20posts. No need to punish new, honest ppl)

If you look, a lot of threads selling raymond are pretty new. Like... this is their FIRST post.
Heck just a few hours ago it seemed someone made a selling in thread, said they contacted the winner, never did and instead made a new "giveaway" or selling thread.

The "fake" threads are really driving the panic more in my opinion.

And what happened to more enforced rules on auctions where you need to state close time, bid increments, snipe save windows, etc.? Back with feedback you could leave them a negative feed back where they changed the rules once started or didn't "close the deal."

I think with feedback system being broken right now for a lot of players, more regulation needs to be done to keep the villager economy in control.

I think it's possible to get that much NMT without duping. I made 178 NMT yesterday and I don't time travel or dupe.

I like him because he's a business cat which I adore. The second my friend saw him she knew I would like him haha. That said wow the market is crazy right now.

Agreed. I love Raymond's design a lot, but hot d-mn.

maybe 500 tix could be reasonable, but there are people buying for 2.5k. there is NO POSSIBLE WAY thats legit

 

[Eirrinn]

SIGH
As much I love Raymond he’s tearing the community apart...I kinda wish he never was a thing so I didn’t have to see all this fighting

 

[k e r f u f f l e]

I 100% getcha. I got sick of him when the meme of him in a maid's dress came out.

 

[rezberri]

i may not personally see a 2,500 nmt value in Raymond, but everyone has their own opinions. some do see the him as that and are willing to pay it. it sucks that some people might want him but don't have the nmt, but if someone's selling him at an auction we can't really control other people's bets.

that said, i do think that the price for things are getting out of hand. if a villager is selling at extremes like Raymond, then at that point the only person benefiting is the auctioneer, and the bidder who wins is being taken advantage of. we all love specific villagers and will do anything to get them on our island, but i think we can all agree that it's starting to get ridiculous.

i agree that something needs to be done to limit the amount of posts by new people in New Neighbor's Network (and perhaps Nook's Cranny). i feel like they come in here and cause panic. this forum was once a small community (ive had my eye on tbtf for a few months now and made an account in feb.) but it's since grown into something bigger. i feel like some change is necessary to account for the massive influx of new people here. sure, this population growth may just be a temporary thing now; after the hype dies down we may see less and less people, but there is a strain being caused by people who made an account 30 minutes ago saying that they're selling Audie or whatever.

edit: changed a repeat phrase
