A Nook Miles Ticket Rant

[Sgt.Groove]

There was an update to the trading policy for the forums.. they lifted the ban on certain items that were duped. They basically gave up. Duping abusers buying out NMT won, and screwed everyone else over.

Enjoy paying for things with over-valued tickets! Enjoy grinding out Nook Miles for hours on end for one villager! :/

Can't wait for btb to come out so players that dont cheat with duping and hacks can actually enjoy trading again.

The issue at hand is dupers bought out insane amounts of them for inflated values, which made regular people rely on them as a form of currency. That inflated value in turn caused rare and highly desired things to be INCREDIBLY (and unreasonably) expensive. NMT are grindy to get as well. It's completely unnecessary.

100% agreed. I really don't like them being so prevalent as currency, especially going into the hundreds range. That's ridiculous

I also find it really funny how 1 NMT sells to Timmy and Tommy for 10k but we're buying them for 250k+. I get that the game itself doesn't determine prices (throwback to paying 2mil for a 250k furniture set back in NL), but it's wild how "valuable" they are.

When the duping bug was going on, Nook's Cranny board was flooded with "Buying as many NMTs as possible. 450K IGB each" threads. No non-cheater is paying half a million bells for 2000 miles worth during the first 2 weeks of the game's release.

bro to be honest even with many "nmts for 450k IGB each" threads, as you said in the first days of the game, ppl wasn't even able to farm as many mile tickets as there are right now on the trading forum
i don't believe in a "ppl bought them at high prices from nintendo switch ACNH edition money"

I am not quite where my opinion lies with people, maybe people will agree but it is unpopular to Implement. This entire “economy” is player made so if you don’t like something then don’t do it. If enough don’t do it then it will change. I know it is easier said then done. From what I have seen and I could be wrong but doesn’t seem like lot like to trade in nmt but do it because its what everyone does it. People love having a set or universal rates or values. I don’t believe that fits Animal crossing because we all values things different but seems like lot of people feel like they need to conform to this “rates”. It is easier to trade with the norm than go against it. I think absolutely ridiculous what is happening right now but that is why I try not to participate in it. Between trading ln NH and NL I tend to go below the “rates” and get people who feel bad because didn’t paid me the “rate”. If I find it fair and you find it fair then its fine who cares. Also I understand that everyone has their own play style and some like to grind and some don’t. We all have our ways like getting bells or have different Time restraints.

I saw Raymond being sold at an auction for 500 NMT, at most of me playing I have only grinded 25 NMT. I seriously hope they were got through legitimate deals

 

[windwake-me-up-inside]

The prices for everything is way too insane, you'd HAVE to be save editing or abusing something to afford that. (I've been stuck in the house all day because of the quarantine and I've only really had enough for MAYBE 25 Tickets, and I've been doing a lot of the nook miles rewards.)

 

[Geoni]

Here's a hack to avoid the frustrations of an unrealistic economy: convince yourself to not like Raymond, Audie, Marshal, Sherb, and Judy.

Just to put in perspective, I rarely use Nook Miles. Only now that I've unlocked terraforming I had to buy the permits and use a bunch of miles at once.

As terraforming basically forces you to move houses and invest in infrastructure, and I'm broke because I still need to pay my house, I created a thread selling some NMTs (I didn't even know how much they were selling for) just to make some bells to be able to pay the landscaping costs.

The person who bought them paid 990k for 4 NMTs (we agreed on 250k per ticket, but she gave me 10 99k bags, and I only realized there was 10k missing when I came back to my island, but whatever), which I took out of the nook machine before going to their island. I would possibly be able to sell 2 per day at best if I want to use those miles I earn daily on things that Tom sells.

How people are making 500 tickets without cheating? I can't really believe these people throwing hundreds of NMTs at villagers are getting these tickets in a legitimate way.

They unfortunately charge people multiple NMTs just to visit their town to meet Celeste, use Able Sisters, use Sahara, sell Turnips, etc. If you can bring in 10-20 people per day, and charge each of them 3 NMTs each, that's 30-60 NMTs per day.

And then there are the people using real world currency to buy from online, like some people do with gold on MMORPGs

Man, this sounds as degenerate as EA's lootboxes lol

I never used this site's currency, but I'm eager to see how it works once it's reactivated. For what I'm reading around some threads, it may very well be our last resort.

Definitely one way to do it. I charged people to visit my town for my turnip prices (594) and made almost 200NMT.

Which means TT'ers can find good turnip price every day/week and easily make hundreds to thousands of NMT.

Yeah sorry. If I bought the game and I have some left over money to buy in game currency then I will buy some because guess what? It's my game that I bought with my hard earned money and if I wanna use my hard-earned money for more in game stuff then I will and I will feel no shame about it

However it depends on whoever you buy from is a reliable source. An ebay listing selling 500NMT with 98 sales already doesn't look very legit. I've also discovered that there's a way that people are using previous saves and homebrew to basically dupe their island and everything on it like NMT and villagers. There is definitely no shame in spending you money for 'micro transactions' however these people selling them are using these cheats to exploit others for money :/

I mean I've said this elsewhere, but this is a key factor of the problem. they shouldn't of existed in the first place

the service they're meant to provide of going to an rng island with possibly a random villager is all fine and good, but nook miles tickets as an item shouldn't of been implanted. any tickets you purchased should've just been "electronically" relayed to your dal airport

forum bells won't stop anything, people with duped bells will just sell IGB for forum currency. Soon you'll see a ton of threads like this:

[LF]Forum Bells [FT] IGB or NMT!!

Unless mods stop the trading of forum bells with IGB, the situation will stay the same.

this needs a 'disgust' reaction

(tho it's true)
