bell tree inflation [please close]

[Alolan_Apples]

I don't see the problem, this thread just looks like a feeding ground for desperate people looking for free handouts.

That is so true. If there is a problem that cannot be solved, it's best to move along since there's nothing that can be done.

of course, im not doing it. please dont make my age the issue here, as i know enough about these sorts of things to not be frowned upon. but tbt really does have its uses, and you cant make people stop buying items for it. this thread wasn;t made to call people stupid for using tbt to purchase items you personally deem "worthless", although i cant stop you.

You are the one who brought up your age and said it was children doing the trades, not me. I'm not trying to start an argument, I was just making an opinionated statement.

In all honesty though, just the fact that you are declaring yourself to know about "these things" proves all you're doing is trying to flounce your smarts around. No one here questioned your intellect and yet you(like all teens) jumped to the conclusion I'm trying to do something to you. I humbly apologize for making you feel threatened. That was never my intention. I was merely trying to be a contributing member by posting to the thread.

I'm not saying TBT doesn't have it's uses and I've never said get rid of TBT. I actually really like TBT as it makes trades easier, but I said there was no point in collectibles. I wouldn't even attempt to force people(even if I could) to stop buying/selling/trading virtual stuff for real stuff as I know it'd be futile, unless I were a mod.

I meant no offense and I don't believe I ever used the word stupid. I merely said I would think someone would have more common sense than to sell real items for virtual items. A lot of book smart people lack common sense, but it doesn't mean they're stupid it just means they still have more to learn.

At this point though, I really don't see any of the ideas posted working. To me the only way to drop rates would be for a mod to step in, but it's already been said that won't happen.

That's not at all what I was saying, but okay...

What I'm saying is there is no problem at all. People only complain because they want more than they're getting.

i stand with this. enough with all of this, i started this thread because i wanted tbt value to drop so it'd be easier to exchange stuff, but now, thanks to all the replies, i feel like this whole argument, all these replies, are completely useless.

its clear this thread has run its course and should now come to a close.

There is no relation between TBT and IGB anymore, people that trade IGB for TBT charge based on the time that it takes to drop all those bells, which I think is not bad since dropping bells is a nightmare!

What I think is worse is people that pay ridiculous prices (IGB) for in game stuff (many of them regular stuff), because they are bellionaires (hacked money of course) they drive prices up a ton making it impossible for new people to buy stuff with IGB, so there is only two things they can do, either leave the forum or search for someone that will give them millions for their TBT. Thus, driving all prices (IBG and TBT) up.

Also people charging ridiculous prices (in TBT) especially to new users, taking advantage of the fact that they still don't know the forums economy well enough and that they have such a big welcome bonus (700TBT). That right there is a scam, and should be looked into.

I'm quite aware of the staff census of the market. What I meant with that part of my post is the staff have the power to do something but won't because it is up to us to manage the exchange rates (because it is). The market on this site is changing in a new direction. The site currency is being used less and less for in-game money and on other goods and services such as game codes, art, etc. I'm not sure if that is something good or not. Because for me, I always thought TBT was to be used for in-game currency and collectables.

EDIT: And to add onto my last sentence, I say that because I've been offered real money for the amount of TBT I carry on me (in the three figures). I'm positive that was never intended for TBT.

HEY WONDERK I'LL GIVE YOU THREE FIGURES FOR YOUR TBT: LEVI, MIKU AND A TITAN. I MADE THEM MYSELF

No being serious now, The staff of TBT are fully capable of just removing forum currency and collectibles all together, I hope you people realise that. This **** is all a privilege. People keep *****ing about what they and other members have done and then expect the staff to fix it? Are you serious? If you don't like the exchange rate then do something else. You know what causes the economy to grow?

People want business so they offer 1 million more than someone else. People flock to them because people are selfish and like to get AS MUCH AS THEY CAN FOR AS LITTLE AS THEY CAN. Welcome to human nature. Other people get less business and thus offer a better deal. Building and building over time you have 18m for 100 BTB. You guys did it to yourself. This is the nature of supply and demand.

And guess what!

It's not the staff's job to be like "Okay guys. Only sell your IGB in your own personal game for 5mill for 100 BTB." Are you kidding me right now? They are your bells in your game sell them for what you want. If you wanna be ripped off, be ripped off. But this mess was caused by the users.

As for "monopoly"... DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT IS?

monopoly
məˈnɒp(ə)li
noun
1.
the exclusive possession or control of the supply of or trade in a commodity or service.
"the state's monopoly of radio and television broadcasting"
2.
trademark
a board game in which players engage in simulated property and financial dealings using imitation money. It was invented in the US and the name was coined by Charles Darrow circa 1935.

NO ONE has a monopoly of the exchange rate on TBT, you must be ridiculous.

Every few months someone comes along and *****es about the exchange rate being too high and every few months I shake my head at the demand the staff do something. It's not gonna change now, it didn't change then and it won't change in the future. People are "selfish" and want the best deal for what they got.

And as for powersaves; If you suspect it, report it. They are not allowed here.

How would you even get proof for the report to translate to action? There are so many shops in the TBT marketplace that offer non-orderable items/rare DLC sets and never once does the original poster have to check on their stock or close shop to trade for more sets. The shops just keep popping out an infinite supply for TBT. It is obvious what they are doing, but without them admitting it, there is no solid proof that justifies a report.

If you suspect it, you report it. Mods have said that many times. If it's obvious the mods will do something about it.

 

[shinkuzame]

Everyone shouldn't expect the Mods to fix something that the members did to themselves, it's not like they can swoop in and just put set prices on everything BTB wise because then you guys would complain about not having the right to have wiggle room with how you price things. It's a vicious circle either way.

 

[Azza]

Yeah, sounds pessimistic, but by judging by the consensus of the community, there is no hope on lowering the rate. And even if the successor of ACNL comes out, it won't lower the ACNL rate. The new game will start out at a low rate, which is where we can at least trade for a low amount. People are desperate to decorate their towns, so they will be paying a lot for little amounts of bells. When supply goes up and demand goes down, the rate will increase. And then, we'll have the same scenario we are currently facing.

I'm not so sure that it be that high for the new AC. From my knowledge of hacking (which isn't very much XD), wouldn't it be alot harder to hack a disc than a chip? (That's if its on wii u...) Hopefully that would mean there would be a lot less hackers. I just spent 45 mins to an hour attemtping to do the retail method with someone with 16 mil....

 

[Alolan_Apples]

I kinda agree that duping and hacking has played some role in the inflation, but that's only as significant as the obsession of Call of Duty being a contributor of Halloween being less popular in America these days. It has to do with age, supply, demand, and the collectible craze.

Also, it's not duping or powersaving that's against the rules. It's using this site for either one of the two, as well as selling duped or hacked items that's against the rules. Both of them still ruined ACNL, but do what you want with your game.

It's pretty ironic that back in the old days of ACNL, getting in-game items and villagers costed a lot of TBT Bells as rare collectibles did not. People wouldn't want to buy a Pokeball collectible at 700 TBT while Marshal can be sold for 4,000 TBT. Nowadays, collectible prices skyrocketed as in-game items and villagers have a low TBT price.

 

[Shimmer]

Even gardening items prices have dropped. Most hybrids are now being sold for 2TBT each instead of 6TBT each. It doesn't sound like a big difference but it adds up when you buy lots.

 

[Saaaakisuchan]

Uh.. So what I'm getting here is:

1. I want to pay less for things
2. People are being selfish
3. People are getting greedy for the prices of TBT and IGB
4. Powersavers?

Hold on I need to read the whole discussion xd

Maybe they have more than one file, or more than one town..

It doesn't matter, you are only allowed one forum account, so if that account isn't doing any trading for more stock... well...

wow A++++++++++ come back, sweety. How about not having a thread topic that literally shows up every month. Then you won't have people saying the same **** over and over.
