A Nook Miles Ticket Rant

[Sholee]

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.

I wonder what Nintendo thinks about their game having "microtransactions" and I'm sure the reason why we can't assess the ABD in other island was their fix on the massive bell trading and duping from NL. I'm sure they didn't intend on NMT to become a currency in their game.

Yeah, Im over here struggling to just get one NMT because I've been spending my miles on accessories. But that being said, this isn't new. I remember in New Leaf the insane amount of bells people would purchase villagers for, going into the 100mil. A lot of people of AC take it to the extreme. But Im happy Im not the only one thats a little conflicted on this, because I grinded selling turnips for a few days only to realize my bells are damn near useless now haha. I remember when bell tree bells were used as currency too! Times are just constantly changing

 

[Shinon]

Yeah add me to the confused train. I'm not accusing anyone who has a lot of NMT of duping or doing anything unfair, but I'm just bewildered as to how it's possible to get that much. Since March 20th I would estimate I've made....*does quick math* maybe 60k-65k miles. That is about 32 tickets....how on earth are people getting upwards of 1000 tickets?? What are your secrets??

Cheating. They're cheaters. Or knowingly trade with cheaters to build up massive amounts of duped tickets from others.

Yeah, honestly I hate it. Every time I see someone selling something I want, they always want NMT and I just leave disappointed. I have so many things I need my nook miles for that I have no other way to get that I don't want to waste it all on NMT just to buy something.

It seems no one wants TBT or IGB anymore, which is weird because you can't buy anything in game with NMT...

 

[claracampanelli]

i usually get like 2-4000 nook miles a day lol that would be 1-2 tickets per day
i used to get more at the start of the game because of the achievements but nowadays unlocking those are more rare...

 

[Bulbadragon]

That's why I've become sick of trading on the forums. I feel like I'll never get the villagers I want because they're going for hundreds of nook mile tickets. Which translates to millions of bells, which takes days to grind for. Guess I'll stick to item-for-item trades.

 

[Spooky.]

I just saw someone asking for a NMT to visit their cranny to buy flowers from it.

Flower bags. From Nook's Cranny. Which you can buy in unlimited amount.

I can't anymore.

 

[Hedgehugs]

I can see the demand for NMT, It's the only way to find your dreamie without investing IRL Money.

But the fact people are asking for like 100+ NMT is insane lol. The economy for trading was already screwed with duplication glitch so I'm not all that surprised. You guys do you tho.

 

[trashpedia]

The fact that people have created a large economy from a game where you simply live on and island with animals is crazy. It fills me with relief that at least Nintendo didn’t put in-game transactions for irl money for the Nook Tickets.

It’s stuff like this the reason why I limit trading only with friends.

That's what I think I'm going to do from now on, now that I have irl friends playing the game. Not like I have the chance to trade much on here anyways - people with massive amounts of bells and Nook Mile Tickets buy up everything and I can't afford it.

 

[tamagotchi]

And shame on you guys if you are, that's creating a huge divide between the people who have no real life money to spare on this stuff.

why does it matter what people choose to spend their real life money on...? you don't need insane amount of in game money to play the game. its just their choice to have that much. there's absolutely no need to 'shame' someone for what they choose to spend their real life money on if it makes them happy. its a game

 

[Licorice]

Buying insane amounts of nmts for the chance to MAYBE find your fave villager on an island makes no sense to me when you can buy an amiibo sticker for like 2 bucks online. lmao

It's the gacha mechanic, it's like gambling and exciting lols. I'm a sucker for RNG type games. I can easily load up whichever villager I want on the cards but it's not fun that way.

Cheating. They're cheaters. Or knowingly trade with cheaters to build up massive amounts of duped tickets from others.

you couldn't have even duped tickets or else they would be a lot more inflated than just simply 1k which is the highest i've seen (recently)
a lot of people aren't cheating

a lot of people worked to get NMT to get the villagers they want, animal crossing has always been like this for more "popular" villagers just be glad that the currency that's desired is easier to be grinded instead of draining out your bells 24/7 like in NL.

some ppl like me and my friends grind for NMT/save to get the villagers we want. it's the same as grinding for anything else in this game instead of simply just using amiibo cards to get them

my only problem is selling them for 300k... at most it should be sold for 100k

 

[Lyraa]

At this point I’m not even bothering with threads that are asking for an absurd amount of NMT. I saw Fang going for a lot the other day, and a few days later I came across him on a mystery island. Personally, I find it a little unfair, you can play the game how you want no doubt about that. But for someone who doesn’t time travel, doesn’t grind for the tickets and when I do, I spend it on other items and recipes. Eh.

 

[helloxcutiee]

I feel the same way I really hate how the tickets are the new form of currency I feel like I can't participate on here anymore which is why I'm not really active as I once was the forums are basically useless for me now since I can't afford anything.

 

[idiotdoomspiral]

i thought that 20 tickets was a lot to ask for, i cant even comprehend how 1000+ is possible. its probably explained in the thread somewhere but like

 

[Violit]

I'm currently hoarding tickets to try and purchase a Raymond - the fact I've heard of people going to over 700 islands without encountering him is terrifying. I've scarcely done anything on my island other than trying to breed hybrids and I pretty much grind NMs all bloody day. With the lockdown I've little else to do.

I did win a 200nmt giveaway on a Discord server I'm on (and no I don't know how they got those tickets) which has boosted me up a little but even then it's still too few for Raymond these days. Combined with what I've grinded I'm at around like, 250 - 260? It's mental. If I'm able to get him before burning through all the tickets then I'll most likely do a giveaway or something but until then I'm hoarding like a mad woman.

 

[Maiana]

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'm the same. I usually turn my game off once 7pm hits to avoid seeing the tarantulas, but scorpions are chill for me.

As a shop owner on this forum, I do not accept NMT. I don’t get the hype either.

It just doesn’t seem worth it to me.
