TBT conversion rate too high?

[Drake789]

So I wanted to know your guys' feelings about the TBT conversation rate to in-game bells. It's currently at about 5 million AC bells for 100 TBT bells. Does anyone else feel like this is personally a bit too high? I know it takes way less time to try and get 100 TBT than 5 million bells in animal crossing (unless you're selling turnips at high prices) so why is the conversion rate so high? I remember a few months ago it was about 100 TBT for 1 million which I honestly thought was a lot more fair for both sides of the trade...

I don't know why it is so high right now, but it could be that the AC economy is so messed up.

I think it's because of duping. If someone dupes crowns and uses the lazy camper exploit (or even just retail), it is wayyy easier to make 5 mil Bells than 100 BTB.

 

[Skyfall]

Yes, its too high, but i dont know how we can lower it. And we went round and round before discussing how it can be lowered, and there really wasnt a solution.

 

[Sholee]

there was even a time back in the beginning of summer where all the btb buyers agreed to buy at a flat rate but it only lasted a couple of days because there will always be that ONE person who is willing to buy for more.

there is really nothing we can do to lower the rate and the mods have said plenty of times before that they will not regulate the exchange rate.

There's no way to lower it if people are happy to trade at this price - supply and demand. Like others have said, duping probably contributes to the inflation, and that's something that is tricky to monitor and stop.

Why do people dupe crowns? What's the purpose of that?

To sell them in in-game Re-tail.

The rates are pretty high. It'd gonna be a while if we want everyone on the same page.

By duping a crown, someone can sell it for 250k (at Retail) or even 1 mil+ (lazy camper exploit). It's just an easy way to flood their bank accounts.​

Wow! That sounds like a very cheap way to make Bells. That sounds worse than being a racist.

Making bells is easier in this game than the past installments ngl.

Yeah, but I wouldn't dupe crowns if I were you.

 

[Aradai]

i don't. Duping is against TBT rules.

 

[Alolan_Apples]

i don't. Duping is against TBT rules.

I know. I don't even dupe to begin with. I still find duping crowns for in-game bells inhumane.

 

[Murray]

The rate only goes up because all of you are so greedy >:l

It's a natural progression as more bells are introduced into Animal Crossing. Animal Crossing has a fatal flaw of not having any severe money sinks in the game beyond release, meaning that people that continue to play it, regardless of duping, will gather more and more bells with nothing to spend them on. This introduces more bells into the game and makes them less and less valuable as time goes on.

Now I know. Thanks Jas0n for telling me.

Well it makes sense when you put it like that! I just really hope the price does not keep going up and up for TBT, as I mean there are people who start new towns (such as myself) that have to work to get all their bells back and pay off debt again, so it kinda puts people like myself at a disadvantage to buying TBT, so for me it's still easier just to post to get the 100 TBT honestly XD

wtf stop. This is a game that is real life.

 

[Neenuu]

I don't really care about what price it is tbh.
