Is buying turnips on other people's islands for higher considered cheating?

[nammie]

I mean it seems like they really pushed the multiplayer/trading aspect this time round (i.e. you basically cant even get all the fruits, flowers, nook miles items variations without trading), so no, I think it's totally fine?

Personally I don't play animal crossing to grind, I play it to talk to cute villagers and decorate my town, and if I can make 5mil in a week instead of 500k then why not

Only cheating IMO if the other person time traveled to get those prices. Nothing wrong with going to someone’s town that happens to have good prices.

I don't think it resembles cheating at all. If that's cheating, then any sort of trading / transaction should be considered cheating, which would be kind of ridiculous to me!

 

[Krissi2197]

I think it's encouraged tbh? There's a reason why the prices aren't the same for everyone every day. Nintendo always encourages playing online with other people and turnip prices are no exception!

Animal Crossing is such an open game that the only rules are those you impose on yourself.

I will only sell turnips in my own shop or my brother's; to me there has to be a risk of 'losing' for it to be a fun gamble. But I don't consider it cheating to find turnip prices online; all playstyles are equally valid imo.

 

[thelonewanderer]

My honest opinion? Yes, it is a bit cheaty to me. To me, it feels like an undeserved 'second chance'. You waited it out on your own island only to be greeted with a fairly undesirable turnip pattern, followed by some not to savoury prices... but hey, at least like six of your buddies have prices over 400!

Just doesn't seem right to me.

Wait so I'm not the only one feeling like this? I'm not the only sane one here, thank you!

If we weren't meant to, Nintendo could have easily disabled the Stalk Market while online.

Imagine Timmy saying "I'm sorry, the Stalk Market is temporarily closed while the island is accepting visitors"

But I do feel like it's too easy to make money since the internet is so massive, you're guaranteed to find a good price.

Don't get me wrong, they're more than welcome to sell on another island for a good price, I just personally think its a cheesy second chance. Even I'll admit I've gone to other islands/towns in New Leaf on the odd occasion.

If anyone thinks this is cheating, please leave and don’t come back. Stop telling other people how to play a game they payed $60 for.

I'm so sick of this "I pay 60 dollars for the game I'm entitle to do whatever I want". Duper also bought the game as well and I take it they are also entitle to do what they want as well? Modder also bought the game. Ebay seller also bought the game as well.

Also this is OP opinion so don't poke the cow until its come home.

I mean, they did pay for the game, so they ARE welcome to play how they wish. Just like we're each allowed our own opinion, no matter how wrong or right those opinions are.

Time traveling isn't cheating and the turnip market always worked this way.
Ever since WW, nintendo added in a lot of features to increase online multiplayer and the stalk market is one of those things. If it were "cheating" then nintendo wouldn't allow you to sell on friends islands like how you cant trade fish/bugs or donate to other peoples museums.

YOU CANNOT CHEAT IN A NON-COMPETITIVE GAME BASED ON PERSONAL CUSTOMIZATION

Do you boo

i'd say that visiting random people on turnip.exchange or whatever every week to make 10 mil in a few minutes is somewhat unintended, or rather very cheesy. not cheating just cheesing the money making mechanic imo.
but visiting your friends or even having a little chat on forums before visiting already seems normal and like its fulfilling its purpose of encouraging players to socialize/visit

Duper also bought the game as well and I take it they are also entitle to do what they want as well?

i think dupers in particular are definitely cheating because they exploited a bug in the game that got FIXED just a few days later. (they're still allowed to do it imo because the effects it has on other players is rather minimal in this game, it does mess up the economy for online trades a bit but that has a way of getting messed up over time anyways. it is NOT as directly harmful to other players as cheating in idk.... fps games..wouldnt mind either if they got banned tho lol)

Dude I was beginning to think I was the only Insane or Sane person here! When I get online, we should hang out since we have similar thinking style.

I think online stalk market is fine if you are playing with a few of your buddies but using the entire online network mean its no longer a gamble. Taking a loss is part of the turnip experience. But I guess most don't share our viewpoint.

Also New Leaf is different due to beatle farming.

Nintendo also care about money more than anything else.

Just because you think people cheat for literally playing the game doesnt mean everyone who doesnt have that opinion is insane lmao

I don't even know where to began. Your statement couldn't be anymore wrong. Cheating in a non-competitive game is more damaging than a competitive game. Competitive game are monitor and affects only those in competition and often have someone assign to moderate said competition.

There is no moderator in a non-competitive game. Duper for example have destroy the online economy probably for forever and that affect everyone.

Stop with this non-competitive talk. If it non-competitive, why are people fighting in auction for their dreamy, paying microtransaction on ebay for NMT? The spirit of the game has been crush.

Non-competitive...yeah not happening bud

I'm honestly convinced every single post you make is just satire and not actually serious

Oh no, I can't even understand what your trying to get at here, please be more informed when you post!
