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

Well that one less sea bass for dinner.


Don't count your chicken before it hatch (hopefully this saying is more correct).

This is only the start to combat TT, it will only get worst. Okay potentially get worst since I feel I have to be extremely accurate with my word to not offend people apparently.

90K from fishing? By yourself or with CJ? Hmm... does night fishing give better fishes?

It make sense if you get coelacanth, oarfish, tuna, marlin but fishing is an expensive hobby, requires too many baits for the money making fishes.

By myself and selling to Nooks. Not even from CJ.

Surgeon fish, red snappers, butterfly fish, knifejaw, etc. All of these fish are at least 1k bells so after two pocket fulls of getting these fish itll net you about 80-90k depending on the amount of the types of fish you get.

It isnt really that hard. Just fish in the ocean lol

lol some of yall really like derailing threads to make it about tting and it shows

anyway, i don't think going to others for a high turnip would be cheating, it just makes it easier than grafting for bugs, which can take hours. but if you feel uncomfortable doing that, i recommend having a group of friends that you ask for turnip prices every week. it helps you engage outside your own turnip prices, but you won't be getting the "easy" way out.

I can make 90k in a single night from fishing.

During the first week, while waiting for Town Hall to unlock, I was making between 25-50k every 20 minutes fishing. I would time myself, and I averaged about 30 fish per 20 minutes. The goal is to catch every fish seen in the ocean. Don't scare away fish and just look for big ones. Unfortunately, this means catching horse mackerel. I know Sea Bass gets a lot of hate, but the real enemy is the horse mackerel.

Sea Bass (Common): 650 bells 400
Horse Mackerel (Ultra Comon): 150 bells.

I believe it's compounded on the balance at month start , rather than the daily average of the previous month.

TBF, A sea bass is actually about 650 bells.

Are you sure? My guide app says 400. That may be wrong tho I dont pay attention to when i sell them.

It's either wrong, or using past game pricing. I'm sure I seen 600+. I'll have to double check.

I rarely use bait unless I'm looking for a certain fish (and if I do, bait is super easy to get! Just time consuming, I dont know how it would be expensive LOL)
It's super easy to get decent fish if you dont mind taking some time. Oarfish are the sea bass of rare fish anyways LOLOL

I got my master angler NM thingy today (only 1K NM lol) but I rarely fish. 2 inventory load of fishes is around 78 fishes but how many seabass and horse mackerel did you caught before you got 78 good fishes? That mean you spend the entire night fishing and only got around 90K?

I mean how long did you spend fishing in the ocean? Doesn't it get like boring?

Time is money. At least for me since I can use that time to farm butterflies instead which doesn't require RNG. Not that I grind for anything in game. Those yellow balloons are my ticket to bells in this game. 30K, 10K, 5K, and tons of 1K. Good enough money to move a building in this game.

I find fishing relaxing! I can spend a good hour or two fishing in the ocean (Preferably with bait, but any way works) and I usually get 11k or so for each full inventory. It doesn't take that long for your inventory to fill out, especially with some bait.

This is purely my opinion, so don't feel offended. I feel it's more "cheating" trying to create a tarantula island (or farming golden stags in NL, but I'm guilty of having done that) than go sell turnips online if someone has a good price - only if they didn't get it by time traveling which I also consider "unethical". All IMHO, this is just how I like to play the game. I like grinding the first few weeks then investing in turnips and make some millions, so I don't have to catch bugs and fish anymore purely for money. Some people may feel that selling turnips online eliminates the risk of gambling on the stalk market, and that's true actually... in the end, just play how you feel like you want to play. "Cheating" in animal crossing is pretty subjective.

For me, going to someone else's island to sell your turnips (with the exception of purposefully making an infinite loop so you can continue to buy and sell) is equivalent to trading or cataloging items with another player.

Unlike TTing, there are no blurred lines or grey areas where you have to think about if Nintendo intended you to be able to do so. When you visit another player's Nook's Cranny, you can very obviously ask for their turnip prices and sell your turnips. If Nintendo "didn't want you to do that", they would just make turnips like CJ and Flick where you can't sell on another island.

I honestly dont catch horse mackerel that often. I know what their shadow looks like (similar to the squid I think) so I just scare them away.

Sea bass I just either release or sell. It isnt harmful to keep them to sell lol I usually dont catch too many anyway. I catch more red snappers than sea bass sometimes.

I dont spend the entire night fishing. Maybe an hour and a half at most. From 8:30 or 9 to the time Nooks closes (10pm) I just watch youtube videos or streams while I do so. Its relaxing to me. Far from boring.

No, it's just playing the game. Nintendo wants us to profit off of multiplayer, you're not misusing it for personal gain.

That's a good way of viewing it. Personally I dont find anything in AC cheating unless its actual hacking or taking advantage of glitches.

Each players way of playing is their own. People may find things they do to be considered "cheating" but in my opinion, I say let people do what they want, they're not actively harming people.

 

[StiX]

I've done it myself and i do feel "bad" for it in a way. I mean, i would visit a time travelers island to buy cheap turnips then go to another time travelers island to sell them just because i don't want to time travel in my own game.

I have nothing against it. And i dont think it's cheating in a way people usually cheat i games... but the game is not created to be played like this. (But i still do it cause it does make things a lil easier).

I guess this come as no surprise to anyone here that I too consider it cheating. I don't do that, I don't make tarantula island nor did I destroy the ecosystem in New Leaf to get golden beatle. I still got golden beatle and horned stag and everything without destroying the environment.

I don't know if I consider it as bad as the broken online stalk market mechanics however because everything they are doing is by themselves and not relying on other for bailout.

 

[ForbiddenSecrets]

I don't think it's cheating. It does feel kind of artificial (to me) if you're waiting in long lines with a bunch of strangers to make your transaction instead of playing the market with your friends but there's nothing wrong with it. It's just not fun to me personally and kills the fun of even playing the market.

 

[Toot]

Yes it's cheating and you should be ashamed of yourself!


I'm kidding
