No poor person wants an expensive villager more than someone willing to pay, because they aren't working to get un-poor. This isn't the real world, where jobs are scarce for some people. It's Animal Crossing. You can TT, you can do turnips, you can even dupe if you're really desperate. You're poor because you don't want to put in any effort, or you aren't putting in enough effort, but you expect to get something other people put effort in for anyway. It's selfish.
Excuse me, but some people are busy working and have little to no time to do all that. Though money is "easy to get" as in by getting into the stalk market and trying to make your billions, it indeed DOES takes patience and luck. You have to find a person with a good price, and within a week or so, they rot if you don't get over the price you have paid for, therefore make no budget. It can take hours or even up to DAYS to find a person with all that, something most people on here, including myself don't have. I have literally seen people loose BILLIONS because they could not find a person with a good price. I can sell all the fish and beetles I want, but to accumulate for lost time, it will take FOREVER to get up to the asking price of most people for "75 million bells". Why should we be called "lazy" and "selfish" for not being able to get "sufficient funds" for a character that doesn't even have a price to begin with? Because we have a life? Because we work hard every day and need to provide for our children and families? Oh yes, that's
very "selfish" of us. It is a game after all. Take it too seriously and something is wrong. For those that literally spend hours on getting this money, they are either very young and not in school for summer break or not in school at ALL, or they are un-employed and have hours to waste. Simple as that. We people that work also have the right to buy a game and play for our enjoyment, and get the things all you claim is "For those that take this game seriously and put heart into it"
So, if by what you are saying is true, because I don't have 175 million bells on me, are you saying I don't deserve the character I want because I am too busy using the time I have when NOT working my butt off to try to make this money?
If you feel that "only people who have the time to actually play this game should be able to get what they want because they waste hours of their day doing nothing but playing for a character that isn't real and that they are worth it shows their sheer determination better than you" is what you preach, than that is truly sad imo. You mention duping and all that, but for it to ruin my game, it truly isn't worth it. I have had people dupe and loose literally EVERYTHING they have, so does that make it their fault for taking your advice but not duping correctly? Of course not.
I understand that getting these villagers are hard and they are a rare commodity etc, but, what about those that put no effort into getting those characters and are charging with a price as high as that? You mentioned that people who put a high price on certain villagers has tried and tried to get this character, and all that. If that is, then why aren't they keeping them? If you try all that for a character YOU want, only to sell it for money that is, in your opinion "easy to obtain" then sorry, but you never cared for that character to begin with. You spend all these memories and all that for that character you love only to give it away? Is your excuse "but it was to make that person, who really wanted it happy!" if that's the case, you would have given it away to him/her for free then, because "love and care" doesn't come with a price.
People DO have the right to do what they want. I agree there. It's their game. Sell away if you want, but I just have a problem with what you preach. You sold your "beloved Ankha" for bells that are "apparently" easy to get. So, what does that make you? If you have SOOOO much money and can get these bells, why sell it? Why not give it for free then? I'm sorry, but it shows you are just a hypocrite in the matter. If you literally feel that you did all that work to "get this character" just to sell it, then that just proves you did it for the bells, and nothing more.
