Duplication glitch found

[Kirito]

So I saw on two other forums about a recently discovered duplication glitch, I tried it 6 times before it finally worked. I won't post a link to the other forums because I don't know if that is against the terms of service of TBT. What do guys think of this new discovery? Is it bad or good? How do you think things will change? Do you think Nintendo will patch this?

Well it depends on what you have to do to trigger the glitch, since we have no real data about it right now it's hard to have an opinion, but I'm going on Google right now and hopefully find it myself.

I hate duplication. It's addicting and it ruins the aspect of animal crossing. You need to work hard for your bells. Not have 5 mil in crowns be handed to you in 3 minutes. I did it all the time in City Folk and it pretty much killed the game for me.

I hope it's fixed with a patch. I've never been a fan of cheating and I don't want the economy to be ruined.

Wells, it def. sours the experience- as I only own New Leaf on the 3DS, can anyone inform me if Nintendo & their 3rd party devs often patch their titles?

:/ I hope it doesn't spread since it kind of ruins the fun of the game, makes "rare" items a commodity. ya it'll help with prices ...but then everyone'll just have the same stuff.

I'm actually kind of surprised that the person who found the glitch to be working posted about it lol.

I've been following these two forums as well, (decided not to post it since I didn't want it to spread anymore than it already has). I am completely against it; once valuable items such as 7-11, gold tools, and more of the like are now being duped and value has decreased already D:
Hopefully there will be a patch ASAP.

Probably going to be like WW where instead of bells being traded its royal crowns instead.

Trading is going to change in a way but then again EU players these past weeks have already been exploiting a duplication like glitch in which they been getting several shaved ice lamps and trading them for 7-11 items and other rare items.

Edit: I don't think updating the game is going help much because people who are already duplicating items are still going to have their items.

This is just gonna change items that can't be reordered and make them more common and maybe finally lower those ridiculously overprice 7-11 items.

I don't think Nintendo has ever updated a 3DS game besides mario kart 7 one time.

I don't even want to read how. *covers ears* lalala

Also, with this method, I don't think there's any possible repercussions (like loss of save data) so that's not going to help this either (╯?□?)╯︵ ┻━┻

Fortunately I hear the glitch is quite difficult to pull off and has a nasty consequence of corrupting your save data if you mess it up.

Hopefully it ends up biting a few people.

Nintendo has been notorious in the past of not bothering to patch glitches in AC games. as for it ruining the economy of the game it really only hurts those who feel the need to amass several million bells in the game, which to me never made much sense. It the ability to acquire non order-able items becomes easier for most people, and it doesn't harm anyone's actual games or systems. I see no problem with it. For those who do not wish to be involved with the glitch it is a simple matter to not participate.

I will say that personally I prefer to play the game normal until it either starts to become boring, or repetitive or simply stops being fun, then that's when I start experimenting and altering the game. But I feel that's probably a long way off for me in this game. But I have no problems with anyone else who is already getting tired of their game and wants to start manipulating it.

I just want 7/11 items :/

There's no reason they shouldn't be reorderable.

If this causes corruption of save data, then everyone should be warned not to use the kill wifi switch when visiting another town. But I seriously doubt this is an issue, as it wasn't an issue in the AC:WW game.

The whole concept of being able to kill wifi to stop things suddenly while online was specifically designed to not corrupt save data.

The only people saying it causes data corruption are people who don't want people to dupe items.

I don't know how you do it but I think I have no problem with this glitch since people can just, you know, not do the glitch.

 

[ACking]

I hate dupe glitches. I remember on city folk someone would ask to come over and then instead of hanging out they would be going n and out of my town duplicating stuff. I quit wifi-ing on city folk...

 

[JCnator]

Well, I tried that glitch multiple times on both of my ACNL copies and I can't consistently get the timing right for some reason. The timing has to be very specific and it can change in a hard-to-predict manner. Not many people are going to be that patient to consistently pull this trick.

It's definitely harder to perform that trick in ACNL than ACCF did.

Because removing them from your friends list and finding legitimate players was impossible wasn't it?
