People are duping NMT's now?

Yeah if anything it will make the cost of villagers go up - at least unless some new form of in-game currency is decided after the glitch is patched.
 
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
I think the precedent is already set by the fact that after in-game bells (or items worth a lot of bells, I forget how exactly it happened) were duped in New Leaf, people just asked for higher and higher prices when trading with them, even though it became very easy to obtain a lot of bells through trading and they had little value. Granted, on this forum trading for TBT might just become more popular if NMTs go down in value. But there will always be people who don't want TBT.
 
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.
For items, maybe? But why use 2000 NMT you duped when you can use all that resources to hunt for your dreamies and you won't even have to spend bells for it, the only time you'll be paying now is your patience. I will be honest: NMT was NEVER valuable. It was only valuable because of the villager hunting hoopla.

Now, if you have literally all the tickets you need you don't have to TT, you don't have to campsite shuffle too hard. You just need to endure the time you will pour into for finding your dreamies. Besides, 90% of the villagers has an amiibo. Only the new ones has no amiibos (yet).

Then again, this is only applicable to dupers who duped. The pure ones might have a difficult time getting their dreamies now since everyone who's willing to do this are too busy to find dreamies via duped NMT or buy DIYs.

I guess it's impatience and the self-imposed game limitations (i.e no TTing) vs people who don't care about anything.

I already have the dreamies I got so I personally don't care less about the villager trading anymore. I'm just gonna see how the economy goes from here on out.
 
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)
But that even has a limit, why would you need some crafting item/ resource unlimited? With NMT tickets you can use them... endlessly, some item, you get it, it's done, you have it.

There is also the possibility of an increase in villager exchanges? Though I don't have much faith when it comes to greed and I partially agree that people will find a new ''coin'' even if it's useless outside being a coin.
 
Honestly the market for villagers is ridiculous as it is. I'm really happy the campsite method was discovered because its how I am going to get my dreamies, since the odds are better if youre missing that personality.
I don't really think duping NMT is worth for the hunt though because, like someone else said, its still such a low chance to find him. I guess if you already have a smug its your only option.

Still really unfortunate how the villager economy is going but I figure its not worth to participate in rn anyways since I don't have enough patience to accumulate 1000s of NMT (legit or not) nevermind transport them to someones town with the 5 minutes of cutscenes each time, but thats just my rant I guess 😅
 
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;;
Is this the same video that was circulating around a few days ago on duping items or is it new? Either way, I’m disappointed in Abdallah. I used to like his channel, too.

Part of me thinks that the NMT economy is a bubble by design. At some point, no one will need to go island hopping for dreamies once they’ve acquired them all. In addition, Nintendo is manufacturing more Amiibo cards that‘ll hit the market in a few months time, giving players an easier and less time consuming way to get their dreamies. There’s a good chance Amiibo cards will be created for all of the NH villagers and that FOR SURE will plummet the value of NMTs. It’s only a matter of time before that happens.

Yeah. I was actually against this. I'm aware of the inflation it might bring if the NMT thing was gonna be dupable. But honestly, did NMT have a purpose besides looking for villagers? Like, bells, you can buy items. NMT can give you extra resources and villagers but that's it usually. I think NMT got overglorified too much.

The economy was in ruins the moment the crown spin was out. NMT duping is possibly the nail in the coffin. I hate inflation but honestly if the new villagers gets an Amiibo soon is there really gonna be a point to NMT?

Im actually hoping new amiibo cards come out soon. ive been complaining for a while about how unfair it is for people to shell out so much for game pixels, spending 5 bucks a pack shouldnt be a problem for people tbh. i just hope people dont start getting even MORE greedy with this glitch. however, knowing society, it probably will be that way unfortunately
 
The hate towards NMT is also extremely strange to me. Regardless of what that form is, some kind of currency WILL come up to equalize the supply / demand of specific popular villagers. How can you truly advocate for inflated bell trading over stackable items like NMT? The problem isn't NMT. It's the hyperinflation of bells from earlier duplication glitches + turnip flipping and the lack of a proper online trading channel in the game.

I feel like many people are forgetting the days where top tier ACNL villagers were trading in the 15m-25m bell range due to hyper inflation which required a dozen trips to complete.
 
period pooh. who ever discovered this, HOW?

anyway someone will find out a way at some point. the economy is a mess already and complaining about a certain youtuber will literally do NOTHING. if he didn't someone else will. you can type your essays, it will not change the fact that people have tried & spread the word on this. i just give up, i barely trade anyway. i'm at that point of the game where i got most of the diy's i want & villagers i want (i have their amiibos too). i know that's not fair to say because some people are just starting, but they would probably try this too and would have a bigger chance of getting their villagers. it just sucks because the items you'll get from trading won't always be legit. i've always wondered where they get them anyway. does it even matter anymore? let's just hope these items aren't game breaking. the good thing about these items is that they're gone once it's used. it's not like the "katana" glitch where it could potentially glitch a room.
 
i honestly find it upsetting that nmt have become the currency people use for trading stuff...they can be hard to get and honestly only let you island hop, which isnt helpful (unless you need resources) if your ten slots are full. i prefer igb

I think there will still be a group of players who like island hopping and/or can’t afford to buy a boatload of Amiibo booster packs to get the card(s) they want. Those players will be in the minority IMO.

In this scenario, NMTs won’t have the buying power they currently have now, which affects all players. TBT would likely have more buying power (b/c the Stalk Market has made IGBs way easier to earn than in past games.)

Word. I know I sound like I'm happy for this glitch but honestly? I'm just REALLY fed up. I'm just gonna spoof (NFC) if some person leaked the new villagers' BIN files because I'm in a 3rd world country lol too poor to buy booster packs.

Too many new users these day don't understand the craziness back then. I joined in 2016, a bit late to the NL scene but the market was just as insane. I remember Marshal/Julian selling for upwards of 50 Million bells, and when tbt was involved 200/300 tbt. Which is an insane amount.

I have my issues with NH but I'm glad the NMT helps all of us find our villagers at least.

Here's a New Leaf auction of mine where I ended up selling Ankha for 129 million bells lmao. This was way back in 2013 too! You're right that new users don't understand how bad the inflation got. Hopefully the NH economy doesn't meet the same fate!
 
Keep in mind that NMT prices deflating means that everyone gets more access to them, and people could stop asking for them as tips. This also means that it will become easier to utilize the nook mile island feature of the game, which is to me one of the best ones. Silver lining!
 
Damn! This insane but im also impressed! Gotta get that NL bellionare rep lmao
The winner paid in Royal Crowns, so I found someone who had hats as the high price item at Re-Tail, meaning I actually ended up with 258 million (minus however many millions I decided to give the host as a tip). I remember it taking hours for the winner to first drop off the crowns, and then even longer for me to pick them all up and sell them at the other person's town. New Leaf was wild lmao.
