I'm assuming people used the duplication exploit at the start and copied lots and lots of tickets? It's the only way I can think of

The Dup exploit wouldn't work with NMT tho , or that's what people have been saying.
Well, then my only guess is just heavy TTing and getting the free 300 NM from Resident Services every day

What i've been doing lately when i'm selling things on the forums is doing a kind of PWYW first come first serve kind of situation. it's so hard to guage what's fair with the economy right now, and i get far too stressed trying to just come up with prices based on everything around me on the forum, so it's the only way i've been happy with so far to let both the people who have lots of resources to spare by my stuff and also let people who have been playing the game at a slower pace buy and trade stuff just as well.
as long as the trade is for something i really want or at more than i could sell the item for at nook's cranny, i'm not too concerned. and i've been happy with it.
i'd just feel so icky setting things at exorbitant prices. not because i think people who are doing it are immoral. it's the name of the trading game right now. it's just personal preference for me
while i sit and wait for things to flatten out a little

Oh by the way, to everyone asking how people get such large amounts, they trade. I currently have 500 because.. That's all people are taking, and i have to pay with them. I bought every single one of them from other people.
People are also duping with other methods not possible without hacks, which i'm not going to go into because of obvious reasons

That's exactly how I feel. I gave up trying to get my only dreamie (Lolly) from auctions because everytime it flies up to I don't know how many dozens of NMT. Meanwhile I run after butterflies to make bells and do as much as I can to unlock nm rewards so that I can somehow increase my bid, so it feels really unfair. I've even stopped looking at auctions because everytime it's the same scenario. I mean I'm ok with a fair amount of tickets, I trade stuff for tickets myself sometimes but too many is just too many...

be careful not to lump TTing and duping items/skewing the economy into the same category. TTing =/= making quick fast money. Players could have duped AND been TTers, but TTing in and of itself is not some fast way to get really rich in the game. what we're seeing is the result of duping and getting a lot of bells fast, setting the price for these tickets and allowing people to rack up a bunch
Well, I think that's just it. The tickets aren't the issue. A ticket is worth, imo, 300k IGB (that's about how much you can get if you were tarantula farming on a ticket). So you very well can say 1 ticket = 300k IGB equiv. and so forth to make them interchangeable.
The problem comes with 2 areas:
- Sellers whom want to take advantage of the maximum amount they can get even if the item isn't worth it
- Desperate people whom are willing to throw crazy amounts at something even if it's not worth that much
Those two factors are why Tickets get abused and other forms of currency. Add in a period of duping to skew things even more off base.
As you said a villager isn't worth 500 tickets (roughly 150mil IGB if we say 300k a ticket). A regular DIY recipe isn't even worth 9 million IGB (30 tickets for example). But you have those few that drive the market.
Unfortunately this is a mentality thing and you can't really change people.
I know I can take the same villager/item and turn it and do the same...but I choose not to because it's just obscene for something I know isn't worth that. Many others are the same but you're also going to have many others that will still continue to capitalize as much as they can.
Some of that is those people are desperate to get as much as they can so they can turn around and offer crazy amounts for what they are desperate for. So, it's kind of a cycle.

the price keeps getting jacked up too. day one it was like 50k. then in a few days 100k. then 150k. and so on
This is alot like the economies on petsites. NMT are the premium currency in a way, so like petsites, people are buying tickets from those that are selling using bells. With the whole duplication glitch and people selling dupe switch/crowns to get millions of bells, some people have a lot of bells to trade for tickets.
Oh yeah, that makes a lot more sense. Didn't mean to make it sound as if TTers were the ones messing the economy up, I just thought some people might have abused that.

I've seen really ridiculous cases of NMT. Things like "You can visit my Able Sisters for 1 NMT!" Why? Just... why?
This is part of the reason I'm in no rush to buy an online subscription so I can trade. I'd love to trade for the fruits, flowers, Nook Miles furniture alternate colors, and other things that I can't get on my own... but I'd rather wait and hope the online economy gets better. Or, at least, TBT returns and people accept that again.

I don't understand it either. From what I heard, NMTs weren't even an item you could duplicate when the glitch was there. I really don't get how people are getting 100+ at a time (other than trading for them I guess). Now that it's a form of currency, I feel so poor and I'll never be able to trade for my dream villagers. Bob, Raymond, Dom... they're all go for such a high number of tickets I feel like the only way I'll be able to get them is if I get lucky and find them in my campsite or at an island. They're so inflated right now it's crazy

I see where the 300k is coming from, except that 1 NMT is no guarantee you'll get a tarantula island and rack up 300k, so it's not exactly realistic to make that the sure exchange. If you used that ticket, you very well have the chance to get an island with only your native fruit and some crappy flowers you dont like and come back with a profit of maybe 20k. And a price should reflect that, that yes you could get 300k with the ticket, but you're selling that ticket that would also give you an (arguably higher) probability to make close to nothing.
You can really argue it either way, tbh. I can see that side as well. It is really daunting, though, to come up with that much money when you're trying to progress through the game without much of a bell reserve from lots of trading and/or duping
ps i love your pfp and signature pixel! altaria is so fluffy

hehe all good i figured it wasnt your intention ive just seen too many discussions escalate too quickly on here because of some accidental false connections between stuff like that
ps i love your pfp and signature pixel! altaria is so fluffy
many people can also view NMT's for a chance to get their dreamies as well though which leads to crazy outliers of people offering so much which I assume inflate the price everyone else is seeing
I guess the issue seems to be that items in this game seem too subjective in value to quantify in an objective way

"What a terrible gift."
I use all the NMT I get on my cycling town I have looking for dreamies for myself and my friends and SO. I can use a stack of ten or more in one day looking for good villagers on their lists, so I ask for NMT offers when I adopt out a villager so I can keep hunting for villagers people want. I have marshal currently and I'm not sure how I would react to an offer higher than like maybe 50. I like having the tickets but I have no need for 100+ Nook Mile Tickets.

this is true too. i think there's a lot of things that have contributed to providing a perfect storm for expensive NMTs to exist, tbh.

I just saw Raymond sell for 950 tickets lol
It's really discouraging but if they earned the tickets on their own then they deserve to spend them the way theyd like.
I just hope the economy dies down very soon.

I’m surprised to find out about this. I don’t trade anything, because I like working for things on my own. Personally, I just like the challenge. I also don’t trade villagers since I don’t want them to come with any history or to talk about other islands or people I don’t really know. Given this, I’m one of those who uses A LOT of Nook Miles Tickets to get villagers on tours. I’m shocked to find out about this because I’m always at about 90-100K nook miles everyday I log off my game and I’ve redeemed almost everything I wanted. Nook miles pile up so easily when you time your dailies right. Why would people pay so much for them?
If you dupe millions worth of bells then turn around and buy tickets from anyone and everyone...10 tickets from person A...5 tickets from person B...3 tickets from person C...then multiply that endlessly.
Same thing for running a store, if you have enough luck getting certain items to flip,...lets say you get a kotatsu and you get 50 of them between TTing (we'll leave out duping) and you charge 1 nmt per kotatsu. Easily 50 people that will come along over the span of a week and trade 1 nmt for the item they are desperate for.
Then lets say you're a person that has 100 tickets on hand and you see an item you're impatient to get...3 people posted ahead of you someone for 2 nmt, one person for 4 nmt...so you throw 20 nmt so you for sure get your item.
Now every person that has that item wants 20 nmt because they saw that person desperate to get it. So everyone starts trading to compile nmt the same way regardless.

I think I've only ever encountered one island that I couldn't convert to a tarantula island. Most you can. The one I couldnt was the bell rock island.
