Wifi rules...

[Shonnie666]

If someone hasn't said specifically whether they like uninvited visitors then I don't see what the problem is of visiting them, if it's a problem with them i'd leave.

When I open my gates I put it on my 3ds friend message so people know they can visit me..

Obviously I'd respect peoples towns when I visit without having to be told - it's a no brainer, I wouldn't like someone stealing my flowers so why would I do the same? But ultimately I wouldn't want to swap codes with those rules that i've mentioned.

You are saying 'if someone hasn't said specifically' but are complaining about folks town rules, if there is a town rule saying they don't like random visitors then they HAVE stated that you shouldn't appear randomly.

Tbh, even if someone doesn't have it stated it is still rude to show up unannounced. Asking to visit doesn't take much effort.
If it is too much effort to ask to go to someones town then just don't visit someone who doesn't like random visits and delete them from your friends list and move on with your life.

I meant if i swapped codes with someone and they hadnt had the rule about uninvited guests... If someone hadn't said specificlly its not a rule is it.. i dont see what youre trying to say?

I think youre getting your wires crossed. I wouldn't visit someone with that rule - I'm not saying I wouldnt respect them. this post is my opinion of these rules.......

Also, If someone someones gates are open - theyre open for a reason! If they haven't stated any rules what's the problem in visiting? If it's such a problem they'd ask you to leave...

I honestly don't know why you are still so insistent on complaining about someones town rules, everyone can have whichever rules they wish, regardless to whether you think they are silly or not.

Everyone has stated decent reasons for the rules you mentioned, you got your answer, if you don't like it don't wi-fi with them. No need to keep complaining about it.

You have your town rules, everyone else has theirs, move on.

I do think some rules are just ridiculous. One of them being, 'don't visit unless you ask'..it's like people completely forget the fact that YOU CAN CLOSE THE GATES AFTER YOUR DESIRED VISITOR COMES IN. I'm friends with some people that hardly get on forums much anymore and if their gate is open and they might be busy or something they just kindly tell me to come back later. It's really not that big of a deal..

the main street rule..you should buy the things you like first and then open your gates.

I always respect rules though, I don't run in peoples towns so I won't destroy their flowers. I use the paths if they have them, and when I first got the game when I needed fruit I'd ask first. It's really easy to follow a towns rules..

Yes but that reason may be that they are waiting one someone else to arrive, a trade or otherwise.
And I have already mentioned this

Guys, i'm getting real tired of repeating myself here:

If someones gates are open that doesn't necessarily mean they are waiting on whoever to arrive, it may be open waiting for a trader to arrive, therefore you shouldn't just assume that you can visit as you wish.

It doesn't take much to ask first, if you cant get a hold of them then don't visit, an easy way to avoid being seen as rude.

If your friend has stated that its okay to arrive unnanounced then by all means do what you want, but don't complain about those of us who don't like random visitors.

Instead surround yourself with wi-fi friends who think the same way you do. This way everyone is happy.
You can visit who you want and those who don't like random visits aren't getting annoyed with you turning up when you like.

Your question has been answered, complaining about someones town rules isn't going to get you anywhere other than folk thinking you are rude, so just let it go.

I would appreciate it when anyone comes in my town, invited or not ^^

I think some rules are silly, like not talking to villagers. You can't steal them so I don't see how that's an issue.

I always ask before I do anything, just because I know some people have been burned and Id prefer no one gets anxiety while I'm in their town.

Normally I won't visit a non-friend (by non friend I mean someone on my friend list that I've traded with and haven't gotten around to deleting) anyway because they don't know me and I don't know how they feel about visitors plopping in. I assume if their gate is open they are accepting villagers, however I never know that for a fact and I don't want any unpleasant experiences. I personally open my gate for trades and don't bother to close it when my partner arrives.
That being said, I never care if people visit me. Sometimes I don't have much time, but it's not like they know that.

I usually buy everything I want and dig up my fossils so I don't care what my villagers do, but it is nice to be asked and I find it common curtusy to do so.

As for people I make friends with, I don't really like being friends with people with strict rules. Not because I think theyre silly, they can have whatever rules they want, but because I don't want to accidentally break any of them. It's nothing personal.

I also find the stylus and talking system difficult so I hate being awkward and trying to carry on a conversation on AC. But I feel like if I don't talk then I'm being rude and antisocial so idek I'm socially odd I guess xD

Exactly! I'd hate to have my gates open and no one visited because they were too frightened...

 

[Mintbun]

I'm pretty lax around my town rules. I've made custom signs throughout town with two rules: Don't run or steal. Short and simple.

 

[mayortash]

I think some rules are unnessecary. Like "don't enter my house without my permission". But I understand that everyone has rules, after all, when you have someone visit you at home then there's certain things you'd expect them to do and not do.

 

[Hamsterific]

I think it also depends on whether the visitor is a friend or a trader. I expect a trader to stay near the gate, trade and go home unless they ask to do other things and I have the time. If it's a friend/someone coming over to play then I don't care where they go, what they buy or who they talk to as long as they're not going to run on the grass or steal.

 

[RisingSun]

How did you first get their FC? You must have had to speak somewhere else other than on AC, ask there.

That may not be practical. There is no way to note where you made your friend in the friend cards, and I have made friends in a lot of places (Facebook, here, ACC). I have no idea where I've met them all, so would be difficult to ask.

About the tree-chopping rule... it may seem silly and common sense and there's the "if they were going to cut down your trees they're probably going to do it no matter if you have a rule listed or not" argument... But honestly, I have that rule there so when I add someone and they do cut the trees down, I have something to point to "look, that was the rule" so I feel there's a bit less room for excuses.
