I'm so tired of raymond

[idklol58258]

I'm so tired of him. Every time someone posts a thread offering him, insane amounts of nmt get bid within minutes. The last thread i saw has a bid of 450 nmt and hasn't even been up for 10 minutes. This economy is so broken. Nobody can possibly get that much NMT without duping bells.
He's literally just a cat with glasses. He's not worth 120m.
I thinks something needs to happen to stop this. All these tickets are not legit. The site rules say selling duped items isn't allowed, yet people are still doing it.

 

[Dewy]

Yeah I don't really get the hype either
His heterochromia is cute but other than that he isn't that special?

It's like Marshal all over again

 

[Zura]

Down with this ugly cat! I'm sick of seeing him everywhere!

 

[Rex of Elysium]

Better him than *shudder* Marshal

 

[Eirrinn]

I love him because 1. He’s a cat
2. He reminds me of my cat fluffball a Russian blue who sadly passed away from old age a few years ago
He is a bit over hyped tho

I totally agree with you on this. Raymond does seem to get lots of attention. However different people like different things and some people might just really find Raymond's design quite unique as he has two different coloured eyes and a cute little suit. People with hundreds of nook mile tickets might just play the game differently to you and spend hours time travelling and collecting NMTs which is why they have so many. They might blatantly enjoy saving up heaps and heaps of them to create a perfect town full of their absolute favourite villagers. And if that's what they want to do, then they can do it. It's nobodies business but theirs. The NMTs are not all duped. I was also sceptical about this until my friend showed me how she has so many. She is very committed to the game and spends hours just completing the NMT tasks that say 5x and 2x. Once she's completed this she goes forward a day over and over again for a long period of time. I personally would not enjoy doing this but she does and so do many other people. Sure some people might actually dupe items but if that's what they want to do, they can do it. It's up to them whether they break the rules and not up to anyone else to tell them what to do.

Indeed, with Raymond I see the appeal, but marshal just makes me cringe.

Lamo people can totally have that many tickets and them all be legitimate.

Thought experiment:
You sell art for... 10NMT for a full body detailed piece
Your 10 slots fill because you are a really good artist.
Congrats you just made 100 NMT from those 10 people.

Another one:
You TT so hybrids are coming super easy for you.
You sell them for 3NMT ea or 5NMT for a pair.
You get 10 people wanting a pair.
You made 50NMT super easy from the side product of your usual gaming habits.

Stop being mad that you cant earn miles yourself in the game or do a hussel to earn them legitimately from other players.

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.

Same. I didn't get ththe Marshall hype. He always reminded me of Justin Bieber for some reason. Lmao.

I'm one of the few that just wants a smug, adorable business cat. It cute in one of those ways a 4yr plays pretend that they are some CEO of a company. "Yes, dear. So business. You're in charge." ... even tho he is a dreamie of mine, I wont be belling out (=3) the money for him. I'll keep checking my tours and campsite.

 

[Spunki]

Tbh if Raymond was a Hippo with Glasses and Two Colored Eyes, people would not even mention him. Lmao

Just another Cat Villager for me. He’s as special as Sherb, which looks like a younger Kidd in Blue. Cute, but not worth any hype.

It just brings up the question why Colton isn’t that popular then? White Horse with Blond Hair, which looks like a prince. I though people liked that?

 

[Forks]

I think raymond sucks too imo

That is a huge lowball for the art and highball for the flowers As an artist, I'd be offended if someone tried to offer only 10 NMT for a full body detailed piece. Hybrid flowers usually got for about half a dozen = 1 NMT.

I just want him so I can put him in a maid dress

If I had to guess, Julian is a far more popular smug horse, knocking Colton down a couple pegs. There are of course exceptions (Chief and Fang, Bob and Punchy) but usually people like to vary up their villagers. This could also explain Raymond, as he’s the only smug cat

 

[Luca]

As someone who likes Marshall (not obsessively, he's just one of the cuter smugs) I'm definitely exhausted from the Raymond hype.

Still gonna invite him to my island if I find him and make bank off the Raymond stans, tho

Sorry. I dont buy art (or sell it here) so I had no idea what it's going rate was. Lmao My bad.
But thank you from proving my point that artists can definitely get stacks of NMT legitimately. ^^

WHERE ARE THE LAUGH REACTIONS.
WE NEED THE LAUGH REACTION.

I need the facebook reactions for some of these posts. Lol

 

[honeyaura]

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

I saved up TBT for nothing lol

 

[Lumearia]

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.

 

[Dormire]

As someone who has been proactively trading in every nook and cranny (ha) of AC websites, NMT is easy to gather as long as you have bells. Turnips, for example, are very lucrative as long as you know where to look (like subscribing to Japanese turnip hosts in Twitter) or selling DIYs or crafted items or NMP-exclusives etc. It's not that hard to get NMTs as long as you try and grind. Yes, hacked bells or duped bells (via Royal Crowns exist) but it's not that hard to earn bells/NMP either. (I've been cashing in over crafted Sakura items and my Sanrio posters, converting the bells to NMT and such.)

I understand the frustration about how unfairly priced he is but putting the blame on Raymond won't change anything other than sound too pressed over an animal twink with heterochromia. (Also, calling him ugly doesn't make you even sound cool. Sure, feel free to dislike him but what's the point of that?)
