Town Safety

[lauramoncur]

I have been playing since June and exchanging rare fruit with my sister's town, but she doesn't want to play as often as I do, so I'm looking for new friends.

My question is about town safety. In ACWW, there were problems with inviting in strangers because they could drop a mysterious item that would destroy your town. I don't know if that was just a rumor or a real thing, but does something like that exist in New Leaf?

In wild world people could use hacks to seed your game rendering the cartridge useless, however I believe that isn't possible in new leaf.

Well, even without seeds, jerks can still destroy your town by cutting down trees of ripping flowers and stuff like that

True, but that's when the wi fi switch comes in handy .

This community has a ratings system. Just be sure to trade with players who have all positive~

Thanks, guys! That really makes me feel better!

Yeah, if someone starts picking up your stuff/etc, just flip the wi-fi switch. Easy

Also, in addition to the WiFi switch, if you host the trade at your town, you can end everything as soon as the trade is done if you don't want people wandering around. If you push the start button, there's an option called End Session.

Welcome to New Leaf, where seeding and bricking don't exist anymore.
