[falcons18]

Duping is cheating.

 

[kittenrobotarmy]

If I recall, we are not allowed to talk about it because it is considered a form of cheating.

As duping is actually cheating.. no. I don't see why anyone would want such a thing to be discussed.

As duping is actually cheating..

I am actually wiling to contest this.

Further more...who cares if it's cheating? That doesn't necessarily justify banning of it's discussion. It's not harmful, and it's other people's games. Let people do what they want.

At first I thought it was cheating, but then I realized I was just being influenced by others' opinions. When I thought about it for myself, I came to the conclusion that it doesn't hurt anybody. Sure, some set go down in price, but personally I would rather pay 2m for a 7-11 set then the crazy 30m+ they were going for in auctions. It's all digital money anyways. It has no worth in the real world. I wouldn't dupe myself because I value my save file too much, but I appreciate dupers. They actually help us get the neat-o rare stuff. You would be surprised how many of the give-a-aways are dupers just helping out their fellow players.

theres a popular ac blog on tumblr thats working on duping 7/11 sets and giving them away to everyone
for free

yes, it will bring down the prices by a lot. but who the heck wants to pay 30 million for store set. i mean, i want some of the 7/11 set but i won't offer that much

i personally won't dupe because i'll either
a. mess up and lose the items
b. corrupt my save file

though people here really do not like the idea of duping, so you probably won't get people to help you. sorry

Yep, quite a few people are on their high horses on this forum. One person in particular, who shall remain nameless, says in their signature: "I don't cheat (time travel/duplicate). It takes all the fun out of this game, then you just wasted 40 bucks on a game that you beat by cheating."

I'm like... Get over yourself. They're stating it as if it's a fact, when it is in fact an opinion. Then I just now thought, wait, waiit, Animal Crossing can't be beat. It doesn't have an end. LOL.

Conversations like this is probably why the talk of duping is not allowed. People argue over it. "It's wrong, it's right, it's okay". .-.

I find the argument that duping one-time DLC sets like the 7-11 set is "cheating" to be laughable.

As opposed to the legitimate means of obtaining it (happening to have been born in the right country, at the right time, to get it).

Yes, you worked so hard to get it. *rollseyes*

You won't lose items and there is little chance you'll corrupt your save.

I don't see why people don't like it. It's all pixels people! If someone wants a duping buddy, I'm always here! It's not a big deal. I really don't get it...

But staff, just because it is cheating, why are we basically banned from talking about it? Why can't we at least have the right to talk about it and have no one yell at us?

I mean, ultimately, accusations of cheating when duping boil down to nothing more than putting up arbitrary requirements to play a game "legitimately" as opposed to having fun. AC is not a competitive game. No one is being wronged by the existence of duplication.

And before anyone starts complaining about the economy, AC doesn't have a real economy. Money is infinite, resources are infinite, inflation is inevitable.

Unless you're advocating for restricting resources for people, complaints about the economy are just inane nonsense.


And really, again, all this does is generate arbitrary nonsense, making the game less fun for others. Some people don't care about the "legitimacy" some of you hold so dear. Some people just want to decorate a house and live a life, and have fun playing the game. There's nothing wrong with that, and to try and shame others for doing so, and banning discussions of doing so, is nothing more than greedy, capitalistic, elitist nonsense invading a children's video game. It's disgraceful.

This.

 

[Farobi]

inb4 mods lock cause duping is cheating :/

 

[Divo]

This.

So the solution to discrimination, is discrimination?

That seems rather silly on the mods part.

Wow, and I didn't even have a clue what duping was before I entered this thread. I'll say the same thing about this as I say about selling villagers, ridiculous prices and time travelling. It's just a bloody game folks. The point is to have fun. Personally, I don't do any of the above. For me, that's not fun. (Although the thought of own the 7/11 set is extremely tempting.) To each's own. I'm not gonna pay millions for items but if others want to, they're perfectly welcome to.

Very good point there; it ultimately comes down to questions of morality (pretty heavy stuff) and the mods on this site have just smartly bypassed it by saying 'nope' to the whole matter.

I heavily disagree that going "nope" is smart or wise. Rather, it is cowardly and immoral.

Discrimination to protect from discrimination is completely idiotic.
