Ask The Staff: Non site-related questions!

Came across this ad on my phone and thought it was a funny little coincidence worth sharing:

Hello !
I wanted to ask if we could get banned for trying to purchase or try to duplicate an item offsite ?

So to be clear, I do NOT want to sell the items, but I would like to be able to have these items (princess, mushroom, and golden axe) at an affordable price. (I am not rich like everyone, I earn my money by catching bugs and don't do turnips, and I am fairly new to the game)

But I love this community, and I wouldn't want to get into trouble, so I thought it would be more prudent to ask first!

Thank you .

It's not explicitly stated that duping is against the rules, but rather that you're not allowed to distribute them on this site. Duping is highly discouraged on the site, but if you want to do it with a friend (and preferably not one from this site), I can't see why you would be punished. Just don't distribute them to other players on TBT, or any site for that matter. Asking anyone on here to participate is not allowed, but you can do it with one of your friends if you so choose. I wouldn't recommend it because duping has absolutely ruined the game for a lot of people. It's so much more satisfying to earn everything legitimately yourself. :)

Thank you for answering Flop !

In the end, I am not sure if I want to do anything with their site, it looks so sketchy :I and no one is replying since I don't have anything valuable xD But I am relieved to know that it is not prohibited to buy, and if that happens I shall never trade them here, and they will be only for personal use.

I do think some people are a bit on the greedy side sometimes (45k in store , then 500K-1m on TBT, is worse than tom nook! xD) but I guess Bells are quite easy to earn so it is understandable :) and when then game is -too- easy, it gets boring as well.

I've seen many threads where the staff has stated that duping is in fact against the rules. Obviously no one can stop you from doing so, but it is an exploit and that type of thing tends to be frowned upon. :)

Yeah, just keep anything that has to do with it off-site. :)

Not really--if they find you doing it off-site too, you get punished here as well. Coming here and selling duped items is no better than doing the duping itself here. The whole point is nobody wants you making a profit here with duped stuff.

This !!!

I already TT a lot already since I have little patience (I have bought my game in May, and I feel like my town is halfway complete) so maybe it is best to wait and complete the game on your own? I refuse to pay the sets at such an over inflated price xD ! but I will try to get them myself through the Emporium :)

Thank you, and yes that site is sketchy as hell -_- I don't think I wan't to be part of it.

Well I was clear I didn't wan't to make any profit, but I understand why it is frown upon / prohibited because of the currency crash.

Also, I have erased my comment on Reddit. Even though that place is tempting, I don't want to have dirty hands and maybe one day I would like to open a shop too!

Thank you very much everyone, and sorry I am just a bit paranoid about these things.

I actually meant keep the very idea of duping off of TBT. I didn't mean at all that they should do it somewhere else. I clearly discourage it.

Yeah, you're right. It's for the Staff. Thanks for make me realize what I was doing, Ashtot. I'm sure they're probably sick of seeing me answering things ;-;

You mean the big avatars like the mods have? I think that's just a mod exclusive thing. :p

It was causing problems and stretching the page. Very doubtful it'll come back.

It's less of an issue now that we've changed the postbit/signature situation, but I think it's been discussed before and we still don't think it'd be a good idea to just let everybody buy it. Might be a special thing we give out sometime.
