A Word On TBT To IGB Rates...

[ItsMilkypink]

The current rate seems to be 20 - 30 million IGB for 100TBT. In fact, I found one thread offering 50 million IGB feel that this is wayyyyy to high. How do you even go about earning that much, for a start? It seems crazy to me, and I would like something to be done about it.

I think that the rates should come down. To 15 million IGB for 100TBT at the very most, in my opinion. What are your opinions on the subject? Do you think that the rates should come down?

Thanks.

How would you suggest making the rates come down? It's an unregulated market, and tbt will sell for the highest price people are willing to pay for it. If sellers know that they can sell tbt for 50mil igb, there's no incentive for them to sell it for 15mil igb... Likewise, if someone has 50mil igb but wants to buy tbt, they'll offer however much they think they need to to get a quick sale.

If you're looking to buy tbt for less igb, you can always make a thread asking for the rate you want and someone may accept it. But with the price of tbt unregulated there's not much anyone can do to stop other people from buying/selling at high prices if they choose to do so.

I agree that it's way too high, but like said above you can just make a thread with your own rates

Hmm... You make a good point. It's more of a wish than anything else, but I'd love for someone to come up with a way to universally bring down rates. >.<

True because the thread with your own rates sounds good people would go to the ones who are paying the 50m igb for the 100 tbt

Concidering all these are hacked.... Uh

hacked?

Yeap. But nobody cares, I have reported people who are obviously hacking AC stuff and nothing happens.

As for the bells, one thing I think should be done is to make a rule that all the currency exchange should happen in the receiving town, that way at least the hackers would have to drop all those bags and that takes a lot of time, instead of just hacking them on the floor of their own town.

So many people hack (they must, come on) in game bells so theyre worth virtually nothing to them. You can't get TBT as easily. I know that it's why the rates are higher. People are going to try to get the most in game bells for their TBT.

 

[Aali]

I guess I've never thought of that. I honestly don't even know how you could hack bells

I totally agree that the rates are getting ridiculously high. I remember the rates being 5 million for 100 tbt! That being said, i do not think that we can do anything about it, waiting is the only thing we can do...

 

[ItsMilkypink]

Thanks for all the responses!

I think we should start trying to unearth these hacked towns. Maybe it would bring the rates back down... Then again, it'd be a bit of a **** move in retrospect...

Well, considering its against the rules in the first place and they're probably consciously screwing out people who don't have the device to hack or want to play legitimately, not really.

I remember when it was 600-800k/100 TBT...

Awesome I can finally get the money I need in game!!

Honestly, it's so obvious and the mods aren't doing much, if anything at all.
even though people have been reporting, they should just take down the "dont dupe or hack" rule if they're not gonna be enforcing it :/
Not saying it is entirlythe mods fault, of course. As Shimmer stated above, people want the most they can get and pay as little as possible. It could definitely be lower if the threads were shut down a bit faster(if at all) but we just kind of have to wait and see what happens seeing as the "damage is done" in a way.
But i mean, as Oath was saying, if you need IGB right now is the perfect time to grab some before it goes down.
About a week ago a few friends and I were having the same conversation. However, a close friend of mine brought up that she thinks tbt might lose popularity due to the inflation and how the market isn't regulated, which makes it EXTREMELY hard for new members to join in on the fun due to the fact that the welcome tbt was disabled seeing as members were abusing it So it is possible that because of the inflation, and the difficulty to earn tbt bells, the bell tree could possibly die down. But those are just our observations on things. What does anyone else think? Do you guys think it will have lasting/bad effects on tbt that could eventually lead to it dying down?

What! I didn't realize that IGBs were hackable...

Is there a way to tell if the bells you're getting is hacked?

Every item/wallpaper/bells/ect. Are hackable.

There is no way of knowing whether or not they are.

Well I have seen a shortage of tbt/igb trade threads. There still are some but definitely not as many as back in 2014/2015. Perhaps that is because now NL has been out for a while so everyone has enough igb by now but there are definitely not as many threads. I also noticed that the rate stayed at 20mil per 100tbt for a good chunk of 2015. I assumed it was due to the lack of tbt/igb threads. I honestly didnt expect to see anymore of those threads but now some are popping up again.
