A Nook Miles Ticket Rant

[Rave]

Yeah, at first I got a ton of NMT just doing hybrid sales and then flipping tickets and villagers once the amiibo glitch went away.
Now that we know there's a new villager glitch I postponed that tho oof rip economy

plot twist the amiibo glitch is intentional and nintendos attempt to fix the economy post duping

What was really concerning was that there were actual reviews and such, and the listing had something like "35 sold / More than 10 available" which is what ebay usually posts on products to show quantity and that people are buying the product. I don't wanna point fingers and say "Omg he's hacking!!!!1!!11!11 They're a CHEATERRR!1!!!!! RRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" but I don't think that's possible, unless the person is A) trying to scam people and the listing is fake or B) the person has somehow managed to find a way to duplicate Raymond.

Spoiler: Link to the ebay offer if you're wondering

Apparently you can mess with save files to duplicate a villager or something like that. I believe it. There are millions of people playing this game and probably plenty who've never even been to the forums but googled "raymond amiibo" or something.

I like this take. If there are microtransactions, then people will complain about them heavily, but if the same people are paying $50 for a cartoon cat that says the same things as 20+ other villagers, then what's the real difference? Don't get me wrong, I don't want microtransactions, but wow.

Fair, but I doubt Nintendo would ever look at this and go "Yeah, let's just sell villagers for $20 a pop!" Plus there's a difference between a multi-million dollar company selling you a $60 game then asking for MORE money vs people who bought said $60 game selling stuff to other people who want it so badly they'll spend real money.

I don't find the ticket economy too bad really - aside from the new villagers I've not seen other villagers go for more than 40-50 tickets max, even Marshal who still seems popular. It's pretty easy to get that many tickets quickly via 1 NMT entry fees for turnip proces selling/buying, or Celeste, or Sahara. Hybrids sell well too, as does Celeste furniture. Star fragments also sell well and I've had pretty good success across all of these methods. Plus it's possible to island hop for popular villagers and cycle them out for a profit if you're not too unlucky.

Still unlikely to afford Raymond but anyone else? Quite manageable.

One aspect I like a lot though is how condensed they are. Assuming people value tickets at 200k bells per, give or take a bit, it means a stack of tickets is a lovely 2 mill - in bell bags that'd take half a full inventory. It's very convenient for bigger trades.

There is a way to hack in villagers and that listing is legit. If you have an eBay account you can report it and eBay will remove it as it's against their ToS. I don't even think they're legally allowed to be doing this as I am in an ac discord and a guy was mentioning how his store was taken down for selling NMT and other ACNH items.

That's wild though. Spending $50 for one villager.. 'Rona got people going crazy.

It's not a matter of opinions when they are espousing behavior that directly impacts others. (RMT from at this point, almost guaranteed to be dupers, which are then used in large numbers that causes inflation and prices the honest player out of the market)

They're a narcissist because they talk in a manner that shows they only care about themselves and they have no regard for how their behavior affects those around them.

Love how you didn't respond to me yet responded to Infinity lmao ok

You're more than welcome to spend your money how you see fit, but the fact of the matter is those actions have very negative implications on people who don't want to do what you do -- be it morals, etc.

Those actions in purchasing large quantities of NMT and using them on these forums to purchase things can artificially inflate the market, which the dupers already did quite a lot already. If you literally bought 5,000 tickets and threw them into our market, you'd be really screwing a lot of legitimate players over.

If you can't beat em join em imma get my dreamies regardless

But those methods you choose ruin it for so many others, but I suppose it doesn't matter since you practically ignored most things I even said rather quickly.

You do you, but you're going to get a lot of animosity from others because you will genuinely ruin some things for many people.

Love this mentality.
Its true, There is nothing stopping every other person on here from doing the same thing and if you want it enough, then thats your choice. And if you dont, then that is also your choice.
Sure, it may break the economy now, but nothing lasts forever.

For real. I'm not gonna buy tickets right away and I'm still not sure if I even will but I will not let somebody make that decision for me on MY game. I'm standing up for mine and everybody else's freedom to do as they please with their game because it's just animal crossing. A life simulator for kids that adults happen to enjoy. Kinda sad watching grown adults whine and cry over this. "Mah ehconomee"

I mean, I don't think asking for a single NMT for access to your island is greedy at all. If you're opening your island for others to sell Turnips or catalog items, you're under no obligation to do it for free. Tipping is considered standard, isn't it, when somebody is letting you visit their island and you're taking up their playing time? A single NMT is relatively inexpensive for people, especially as an alternative for bells.

Charging hundreds or thousands of NMT for villagers? No thanks. But a few NMT to access an island doesn't seem outlandish.

THANK YOU! I agree with this so much! I think most people ask for tips because going through many people coming in and out is honestly taxing after doing it for hours. Me and friends have given things out for free to people and it's nice the first couple times but it eventually becomes a lot to invite group after group of people — it can take hours (especially with turnips, invites to see celeste, etc.), having to deal with dcs, respawns, people mixing up items when cataloging or not following set rules... it takes a lot out of you and leaves you burnt out. I think asking for 1 nmt is fair and if others want to give a shot at giveaways they should! But also while keeping their own health in mind.

I consider anyone that has like 100+ nook miles tickets not genuine players and a lot of what they have accomplished in their towns would be meaningless to me. But that’s just my personal opinion. It’s their game and I don’t have to trade with them or visit their towns

 

[cats_toy]

I guess I’m old school, I prefer bells to nook miles. I wouldn’t mind so much if nook miles was secondary to bells but it seems the developers have created the opposite. Nook miles are now more important than bells.

They're more convenient to trade since you can't access your ABD at anyone else's island anymore.

I have 100 nmt all from trading and grinding
What a toxic attitude

True! But my thought, how sustainable will nook miles be in the future?

Unless they release a new "island" with another ticket, i think many people will still be trading them. However, with all the dupers and hacked save states, the price of the tickets may go down, they already seem like they're dropping.

Wow what a bold assumption so I guess just discredit all the hard workers who actually grinded for their tickets. Congrats sir. You won arrogant comment of the day

Closing as I'm seeing way too much hostility here.
