People are duping NMT's now?

[kylie32123]

I was waiting. I was wondering when this day would come. Well, now its here.

NOW I KNOW WHAT EVERYONE'S THINKING, MYSELF INCLUDED, "Oh no, this is going to mess up the economy even more." and you're right. It will. Another thing I'm wondering is, will this corrupt your game? I'm honestly tempted to do it for the simple fact that I can't afford any villager I want. And I know others in my position will be tempted to go this route rather than doing the campsite method. Thoughts?

Please omit the step-by-step method. While your intentions are good, you shouldn't post it out in the open.
We're OK to discuss it though. A thread about the thing was up yesterday.

well, maybe this will make villagers such as raymond more easy to obtain?

After thinking about it, you are correct, we shouldn't be spreading it around...my bad!

Honestly? With this you don't need to PAY a boatload of NMT for Raymond auctions. You can just remove your internet and procure enough NMT to get infinite islands to get your dreamies. Time consuming, sure, but there's no repercussions.

No one will extort anyone again. (Disclaimer: I do not condone duping. BUT I will be in support of quashing Raymond extortionists.)

It doesn't look game breaking, like other methods such as the one with 2x1, 1x1 items in which you could get invisible cloned items and such. That being said I'm too lazy to do it (I learned about this method yesterday after doing a little bit of research, but today I woke up to several videos made about it so yeah, Nintendo will probably find a way to patch this even quicker?).

I have 2 opinions on this.

1- Part of me wants to end the NMT madness, more so the real cash for NMT part of it. If everyone can have unlimited NMTs, everyone can hunt their dreamies and more to their heart's contempt, and I love that idea.

2- I know the implications of this in the economy, and my only problem would be if this is patched. If it's patched, only those who had the time and will to do this will gain so much NMT, and by default the economy will inflate again.

If only a few have the NMT power = inflation
If everyone can have them = NMTs value turn to 0

By the looks of the method, other things such as bells and most items can also be duplicated, so yeah, if it's not patched.... It can go really good or really bad.

I actually want this to stay, for some reason, perhaps for the amount the scams regarding villagers I've been reading about, but that's just my opinion.

Your 100% right!

Abdallah has a video up on the method too.
(Edit - Removed Video Link)

He is a pretty big channel, so I think (hopefully) that Nintendo will see the video quickly and this will get adjusted... xvx;;

Was only a matter of time till this happens... The amount of glitches this game has is kinda shocking, can't remember if New Leaf also suffered from such at the beginning.

 

[Believe]

It was only a matter of time I guess. Outside of some villager trading inflation, I was actually quite a fan of NMT being used as a currency for item trades. It made it a lot easier than trying to trade with millions of bells at a time.

I have no interest in raymond lol, I earned 2000nmt by spending almost a week straight villager trading and I was planning on using it to buy everything on my item wishlist and large star fragments etc. I would've easily ran out of nmt because there's just so much stuff I want. now im doomed :(

 

[Dormire]

Your 100% right!

Like I said, I don't condone duping BUT, I will accept the consequences of Raymond auctions/extortion to be gone and rendered void. I despise the hate Raymond has to face just because of human greed. If this means settling the anger of people towards him, I'll allow it.

I can still trade via NMT. It's more harder but it's still a valid currency. I'm more cackling at the dumpster fire that is the villager auctions/trading. Sorry for the people who rely on villager trading. I mean, I myself is a villager trader but I'll accept it. The NMT hell needs to be over. I'm tired of it and the division it caused. I'm super tired of it LOL.

The opposite actually. Maybe here on the forum people will start valuing TBT more because it's the only stable currency left, but typically when more currency enters an economy, the prices tend to go way up rather than going down. More NMTs = each NMT is worth less = things that used to cost 500 NMT now cost 1000 NMT (etc). Even with this, the best way of getting him is still the campsite method.

I really don’t think this will get rid of Raymond extortions like you think it will. Even with infinite NMT, it still takes an extreme amount of time to find Raymond naturally on an island by yourself. The average time is around 15 hours, how many people do you think have the patience for that? And what if you are extremely unlucky, or even a little unlucky?

sure they might lessen, but they won’t be gone by any stretch of the imagination unless there’s a literal villager dupe.

As for my two cents on the subject, I suppose it was inevitable that this would happen, but at the same time I’m extremely saddened. Unless this is patched immediately, the ACNH marketplace is dead.

 

[Kyneria]

Allow me to make a little joke, but one of the things I think you can't dupe with that method are rotten turnips.

Get ready for the rotten turnip economy, a stinky economy.

But yeah if this stays for a while I see TBT exchanges increasing and item trades.

Yup, unfortunately the prices are going to get inflated because now people have a way of duplicating NMT so people are going to charge more for items, villagers, and DIY's to keep the prices fair but this isn't going to end well...

Exactly. If a lot of people dupe tons and tons of NMT, the ridiculous prices for Raymond and other new villagers will only go up, not down, and it will be even harder for anyone who doesn't dupe or buy NMTs to win those auctions.

Sorry, I know you're not answering to me, but why would people ask for NMTs for villagers like now? If they can also have an insane amount

They won’t ask for NMTs, they will ask for whatever new currency arises from this mess (probably some unreleased event crafting item after the dupe glitch is patched)
