what's with the "dont talk to my villagers" rule?

[aleshapie]

No they don`t mention the visitors, I did a lot of trading in my town, and no villager ever talked about the visitors.

Mine have! ESPECIALLY my snooties! Even if there were not spoken to!

Some people dont like it when their villagers mention random visitors specially if they don't know them. at least thats what I read in a thread like this before ;o

Unless it is a simple trade, I will not visit/play nor invite any player who feels this way.

Completely controlling, micromanaging and childish..

That's some utter nonsense bias right there. I couldn't care less if visitors talked to my villagers but I also couldn't care less about people who enforce the rules either. Everyone has their own way of playing and b/c you don't agree with it doesn't make them childish. This phrase applies to ACNL: there are many ways to skin the cat.

I personally love it when my villagers talk about other players, I think it's funny and it's always good to have a little variety in dialogue. It also makes that villager a bit more unique, and gives them their own sort of 'history'. I like the idea of my animals having their own little life experiences. I'll always follow the rules others set for their own towns though, but I do think it's much more fun to be able to meet with and chat to villagers in other towns ^_^

I don't mind people talking to my villagers, and I enjoy meeting new villagers in other towns. I don't see what the big deal is, but I haven't met too many people who had this rule. I always respect their wishes, though, because it is their town. I don't want people running at full speed, taking my flowers, or trying to harm my town in any way (such as chopping down trees or hitting my villagers). I don't mind people taking fruit if they ask first. So even if a request sounds odd to me, I'll respect it because I want mine respected. Usually if I visit a town with strict rules, I'll only go that one time. Those people definitely wouldn't make my best friends list.

Because it's boring dialogue that is going in place of more interesting stuff they could be saying, specially if is someone you don't know.
I like when my villagers talk about my close friends that I play with. Talking about someone that I can't even remember because they were nosy and started talking with my villagers when they should be probably carrying on a trade? Nah.

I generally don't allow people to wander around my town, unless it is to collect signatures So my villagers obviously talk about people who have visited for signatures, but I don't mind as it gives them more dialog options ^_^

 

[snapdragon]

I don't mind. My villagers have requested to meet more people in the past so it's nice for them to meet new people

I'm tired of these "Nami from Derptown" messages.

 

[MightyMunchlax]

For me it depends, I don't usually mind if people talk to my villagers, but if they came like cause I had something on premium or to sell turnips or something and I have a lot of people waiting I kind of want people to get done quickly, so I'll usually say only talk to them if they wander close to Re-Tail or the train station which happens sometimes.

I personally don't want a lot of time wasted - especially when we're doing a quick trade or the person is coming to my town to shop and/or collect fruit or make a pickup.
However, if it's just someone coming to hang out, I don't mind when they chat with my villagers or interact with the things in my town. It's what they're there for, after all! I just prefer to keep things a bit more cleanly and professional when it comes to business.​

I think that's really rude.

It is just a game at the end of the day and everyone plays it a different way. There's no need to call somebody childish just because they play a game differently to you.

 

[unintentional]

They bring up whoever they talked to randomly. It's cute the first few times, but after hearing about how wonderful mayor from townname is and how I should totally hang out with them sometime about 10 times it gets boring
