A Nook Miles Ticket Rant

And this is why I can't see myself getting "into the market" of animal crossing communities. People get greedy and act like billionaire investors on wall street, cornering the market and making the game less fun by ruining one of the pillars of AC's gameplay.
Unfortunately, the biggest part of the fanbase never got the memo about that "sense of community" thing, and went full "wolf of wall street".

Honestly, this is how the game was meant to be played (not only NH, but the whole series). AC was about having a sense of community, not about creating a capitalist state with a virtual currency to exchange animals.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 mewhile i sit and wait for things to flatten out a little

While tarantula farming is definitely a good money maker I just cannot do it. I'm horribly arachnophobic to the point where even having this horrible huge gross eight-legged furry thing jump at my character in this otherwise cutesy adorable game is too much for me. I've gotten myself to catch one for Blathers and that's me done for like ever. I'll be waiting until the sharks come, but until then, I'm mostly relying on online trading for my decent income (and emperor butterfly farming when I get the chance)
i feel you - the tarantulas and scorpions are literally my nightmare and i can’t bring myself to catch them more than once - really sucks that we can’t catch a break from them cus once the tarantulas leave, the scorpions show up. total nightmare lmao

Scorpions don't actually bother me... which is super weird but scorpions are fine. Scorpions are pretty cool tbh. But spiders... spiders are just no.
I agree with OP. I find NMT to be extremely complicated too. Getting them from the machine, then making multiple trips to the island etc.
I understand people who say they adapt but I’m sad I can’t take part of any auction that’s higher than 10 tickets. I feel like many people are so ahead with millions of bells and so many tickets already. So I can just hope that the economy will calm
Down a bit and in the best case go back to TBT because it’s the most uncomplicated and fastest transaction for me. That’s just my personal opinion tho, I’m not attacking anyone

For 1200 tickets, you're guaranteed to find him on your own with that amount.

I don't think it's guaranteed... You can find doubles of villagers on Island Tours and RNG can really hate you. I saw someone go to 700 islands and didn't see Raymond once.
If you don't have a net out, they are 100% harmless
I'm hoping when TBT's currency comes back, that this NMT fad will be over. Granted I got to get my hands on a villager that would've be difficult to get, but me and my friend had to give up a Lot of Nook Miles just to get the amount we needed.
I think its fine if people are looking for under 5 tickets, but the other day I saw Marshal being sold for I think 100 NMT?? I need to gather many tenths of thousand nook miles to afford that, so I feel like there needs to be a damn glitch or something because I see people offering houndreds of nook miles left and right like its nothing, I too can only earn maybe 3 a day if i'm lucky
It's not a glitch, it's EASY to make hundreds of NMTs. I have the amiibo cards of Marshal, Julian, Chief, Ankha, Fang, Fauna, etc.
Marshal = 100 - 200 NMT
Julian = 100 - 200 NMT
Chief = 50 - 100 NMT
Fang = 50 - 100 NMT
Fauna = 50 NMT
I can easily TT them to move out and keep reloading them via the amiibo camper and repeat the process. It's not the same as NL in which you had to have moved out a certain numbers of villagers before you can get one of the moved out ones back. The economy is SO broken right now. Once they fix the amiibo move out glitch, you won't even need to TT as much anymore. The only upside I see is that there will be such an oversaturation of marshals, julians and other tier 1 villagers that they'll essentially drop down in price.
I'm talking about regular players who dont have plenty of amiibo cards of popular villagers so they can send off left and right for tickets.. Not easy for me to gather houndreds of tickets no
I have to actually play the gameI'm talking about regular players who dont have plenty of amiibo cards of popular villagers so they can send off left and right for tickets.. Not easy for me to gather houndreds of tickets no
That's why this game is so broken, it's pay to win. A regular player will never be able to catch up to someone who has amiibo cards and have already accumulated hundreds of nmts.
I understand, I only take NMT as payment because of this. I don't want to have hundreds of thousands of bells, but I do want Raymond too. I'm not going to give someone that much for him though, so I'm selling to try to find him myself. I only take reasonable prices too. The max I've taken for a villager is 50. Did 30 for Sherb. I'm fed up with the 1000 Nook ticket offers too.

I wonder if the cycling thing is a glitch in itself. It seems odd how you can just cycle villagers out over and over and over again without any repercussion or any wall to stop you from exploiting it.
Its just weird how Hazel can move out of my island today and then tomorrow I can find her on an island tour.
For people that are dedicated to doing this (and I'm guessing that there are people who don't "play" the game for real, just see it as an opportunity to sell IGN things for real money), it ends up flooding the economy when you play ball with it. It's possible to get a few hundred tickets in a day through time travelling and if you think of all of the people who are just reselling these things online, it's frustrating. It will only get worse the more tickets enter the "economy."
I mean, it depends on how you define what you want out of the game. Plus, if you're even willing to play that way. If I see a user drop 3k NMTs to get all of their dreamies or a crazy amount of in-game bells for dreamies that I want, I tend not to get frustrated because I can only think about how empty it must feel to get your island to where you want it just by dropping $$ or abusing exploits...

Not gonna lie, I'm also adapting to how the economy of the forum works. Rather than have 250K IGB, I can just drop off a ticket instead.
I usually get my NMT from trades to also use as trades. But yeah, 50+ NMT for dreamies are hard...

Yes. Honestly I think there are "networks" doing this rather than a majority being individual people. Reminds me of the news articles some countries forcing their prisoners to grind inside of video games so their virtual earnings could be sold online for IRL profit...
Looking at a few of the "listings" online, all of them have different looking descriptions but somehow always include a line in there with identical spelling and mistakes about how, if they don't respond, they're sleeping. Really eerie.
