Oh nooooooooo >O< They looked super cute but I would never get them because they were expensive and hard to obtain, but having to risk ruining a save file for them is a huge hope. The fact that they’re now possible items that can be used to grief is kind of a sad thing to see on top of the many issues going on with the community such as scamming and greed >•>
I've been playing videogames for 31 years, and one thing that proved to be consistent is the way a big portion of the players - no matter which game they're playing - will stupidly use hacks and exploits to gain any kind of advantage they can get, despite knowing these are harmful and shouldn't be used.
I think if you're just a guest, it shouldn't affect you. Only the host/item owner has a risk of getting banned online or wipe out their save.

Just out of curiosity, what are people charging for these?
To think they'd even charge you for this is malicious as hell. lol
I saw on twitter these cost around 200~800nmt. A total scam if you ask me.

Thank you for the warning!
I see a lot of sellers telling that you need to fence the tree so no one shakes it.

It's hard to find people selling these for NMT though. Normally they want sets of seasonal diys or other hacked items (Harv's fence, KK stools, etc)
It's sad. People are being pressured or enticed to imitate designer islands and being led to believe that it's safe. People love getting pretty things so if a group of people tells you to do it and it's fine, you eventually give in. Which is...eugh to say the least.

I guess the one I found on twitter was a rush seller. Still though, this sounds really scummy.

I knew these pretty things were up to no good even more. Now I want to make sure only to open my gates via Dodo Code and let certain people in.

Kinda funny because you'd have to hack to get that many tickets in a reasonable amount of time. Hackers shouldn't have to charge anything.
Back in Pokemon X and Y on another site, an annoying hacker would snipe our trades on the gts and create hacks with our user names and game IDs just because we didn't want his crap. They used the data from the traded mon for this. Of course this is a tangent. I hope this doesn't become relevant.
Luckily, you need to register them as "best friend" in order to let them plant but this will cause a huge security risk since the seller might be there to ransack your island. Just only designate trustworty people as bestfriend and you should be fine.

Oh crud. Where did you find that info?

Is this hearsay or do we have actual proof that this happened? That would be terrible, if true.
What makes this a really big problem is that a lot of new players are actually not big gamers in general, so they don't know that illegitimate hacked items can seriously mess up your game. Hopefully this info gets spread far and wide for their sake. Having modded hacks in an offline game is one thing, but for online games, it doesn't just negatively affect you but it can affect everyone else as well.
