Why is everyone so greedy?

On the contrary, isn't it greedy to want one of the most valuable villagers of them all for cheap?

Seconded, mon chou.

It also reeks of entitlement and being downright spoiled- someone not getting what they want is really no excuse for OP to be calling other people greedy and heartless. Seriously. Cry more.
 
How is this forum greedy? Dear god it's quite the opposite... I've obtained all of my dreamies through very kind users who have now become good friends of mine. Think of it this way; diamonds are an extremely valuable, rare and labour-intensive gem to cut, and they are coveted and wanted by many, many people. Would it make sense for someone to just sell a diamond for $50 dollars when they're possibly worth millions? No, because it's supply and demand. It's how the real world works and that's how things work here too. Marshal is not an easy villager to come by; he's wanted by many. It would only be fair for the buyer to charge that kind of money for him since he's such a gem on this forum. And enter as many raffles as you can if you want Marshal that badly. But don't expect that because you entered the raffle you'll automatically win him. I know that popular villager hunting can be frustrating; I went through something similar with Beau when I first joined this forum and came across as rude and pushy but I've learned to be patient, and sometimes if you're patient enough, it'll come to you naturally.

I paid, out of my own bells, to help someone get a Villager yesterday. And there are others who have done the same for me. TBT isn't a place with a bunch of selfish people. There are tons of giveaways and raffles everyday on here.

If you want to earn bells quickly, here's what you should do:

Find someone with good turnip prices. TT to Sunday, but turnips.
Go Beetle Hunting.
Trade your TBT bells for In-Game Bells.

It's really not that hard.
 
I wonder how many more people are going to say the same thing over and over for 7 more pages.
 
Why is mostly everyone being so rude to me on my forum when I asked a simple question? Jesus, do you see why people criticize this site so much? Just look at acnlconfessions on tumblr, you guys have your own tag.

ow i just literally died laughing
 
Trading TBT for in-game bells was the most surprising way for me to get, well, in-game bells. Someone just this week opened up shop offering 55 million bells for 1000 TBT. In addition to me keeping a shop open for weeks with unusual items and selling so many perfect pears I keep running out of storage space, I am making plenty of bells. It hasn't even been two months since I got Marshal for 20 million, and I have already recovered the 30 million I had before the sale.
 
Haters gonna hate. We're one of the nicer forums out there, try going to some of the other fandoms and compare, I can say, some of the other aren't as nice and friendly as we are.

It's rude that you implied everyone here is rude, considering how there have been many Marshal giveaways, and the price that he sells at is reasonable. Excuse me, but no one takes "greedy" as a compliment, thank you very much.

The opening post struck some people as accusatory of members of this forum in general, so a defensive reaction was understandable. As in any community, there is a lot of nuance, so painting the community with broad brush strokes, especially with strong accusations, mobilizes it and prevents meaningful dialog.

In other words, it is clear that the opening post carried with it a lot of upset, and that upset led to more upset. Better to state the case calmly and diplomatically after taking time to reflect.

Either way..... 20 million isn't very hard to obtain when you buy turnips, and sell them for a high turnip price. Try that.
Anyway... I really think this thread should be closed.

Just want to say that you started the post about everyone being greedy. The person you insulted on the Marshal thread one of the nicest people on the forum. Has helped a lot of people out. Just because you didn't win doesn't entitle you to insult someone and then label everyone on this forum. You want people to be nice to you? The don't insult them. Just as simple as that.
 
I lost several Marshal bids and giveaways before getting a chance to meet him on 'box day.' It is a matter of patience and effort.

Greedy people are every where in life. You cannot use one negative experience to generalize a community of people. In the real world that is discrimination. I think you just haven't met a nice person on TBT yet. You need to give TBT, other online forums and life more chances. There are good and bad people all around you. You just need luck and time to figure things out.

Except they did meet nice people.

Generalizing that everyone on this forum as greedy is rude. There might be a couple greedy people, but not everyone. Yes, your question is simple. But the way you executed the question was an insult to the members here on TBT (which is why this thread has blown up so much). Marshall is an extremely rare character. He is very popular. Things like that are always going to be high in price due to low supply and high demand. 20 million bells is not that much money. You could easily earn that by buying turnips and going over to someones town. You just need to take 1 minute out of your day to find someone who has turnips on premium.

Back to how rude your original post is; I find that as an insult towards me in particular. I'm not a greedy guy. Heck, I have a blue rose giveaway thread and a GFX shop where I make heavy effect signatures for free. Perhaps people criticize this forum so much is because of members like you who go out of their way to insult people.

Anyway, that's my two cents on this. Please conduct yourself in a more proper manner in the future.
