People who use hacking programs for acnl (its a question, i am NOT doing it)?

I'm a hacker. I try not to make a habit of it, and I certainly wouldn't sell anything that was hacked, but I don't think there is anything wrong with it, provided you aren't hurting anyone in the process.
Yeah, in moderation, it's okay. I still don't approve of people making a mess of their towns through hacking, but another police station or some bamboo in the river never hurts.
 
im not against hacking. its not like its MY game theyre hacking. if someone wanted to buy a copy of ac and eat it then thats fine with me

i also dont really mind buying hacked items. imo it helps items circulate through the ac market and make unorderables that might sell for way more be much easier to acquire for everyone. anyone owning an unorderable they traded for, it could likely have a hacked source, but was re traded down so much the person you got it from didnt hack, nor know itd been hacked. i sort of see hackers as a bit of an essential to the market, whether theyre accepted in the community or not.

wellll i mean i see your point but it kind of destroys value of items. You know unorderables are supposed to be pretty rare and hard to get, their value goes down each time a person hacks another. who needs to pay a lot if its as easy as hacking to get a new one?

That is true but it makes it easier on the buyers, rather than the sellers. tbh I am happy I am able to find and purchase multiple afternoon tea sets at a decent price. xP
 
personally i don't think anything here would have its value destroyed, i mean i've always been buying sets for 30-70 tbt, that's just a fact. here i can obtain it easier, that's the reason i'm here. i know someone always wants to be something from you, even if it were expensive. there are always people who are new that would buy it from you. anyways, if someone said clearly stated "i'm giving away bells i duped" they'd be taken down on the spot. i think it's impossible to know whether or not someone has hacked it in or obtained something from a hacker, unless they state, and also unless they have millions of one thing, but then again it can be obtained from hard work and perseverance. if someone is doing something suspicious and it is looked into, and it is indeed against the rules then it will be acted upon.
 
As long as the people who hack don't over price their items, I don't think they would change in value. The only thing that has changed in value is TBT. Ahah

yeah but what about the value to people who ACTUALLY work for their items, i don't really care how much time hacking takes, its a lot less effort than obtaining real valuable items through hard work. Some people want to work for items, not cheat for them.
 
Its unpossible to know if that person has their items hacked or not.
This is harder to know if his / her town is looking like a normal town and she / he hasn't said in the forums if the game has been hacked.
There isn't a item verification to check if its hacked or not (Like in ORAS and XY servers) the items someone got you
It gets harder to know if the user knows how to hide it and don't make it obvious (Like not having ultra-overrated villagers everyday, instead having them for a month) or having the typical warning at their shop:

"THIS ITEMS AND VILLAGERS ARE 100% LEGIT. I HAVE NOT HACKED ANY OF THEM...etc...etc

Clearly, its obvious that's hacked and does not know how to hide stuff


Same thing applies to Pokemon on ORAS and XY, even through there's a hacking filter in Ninty servers to check if your pokemon are hacked or not, its possible to make them look legal (Its harder to do gifted pokemon or Pokemon from 4th and 5th gen. I say it for experience as you need certain wonder tickets to make them look legal and / or edit other information about it)

Personally, if you hack your items on ACNL / Hack pokemon then just atleast know how to don't make it clear you hack or else bans and hate will come towards you! Think of the people who actually worked hard for their town and those TBT lmao
But if you know how to fake it and you don't care about anything except TBT...Go ahead and do whatever you want i guess

Will clarify my previous comment, when somebody obviously had a hacked town (bamboo in the water in a town I recently visited) and they're selling a bunch of items, I do assume rightly or wrongly that the items they're selling will have also been hacked. It could be that they got them legitimately and only hacked to do landscaping (as this was something I considered once but I'm too nervous about using hacks). So on that basis it's probably wrong of me to say that their items are 'obviously' hacked. Because of course there's no real way of me knowing that without them admitting it. It's just done from assumption after visiting their town.

I know there's several people on here who have a bunch of items they managed to get through their own work, I don't dupe or anything like that and even I ended up with loads of unorderables from buying off this site. Wouldn't like for anybody to think I'd somehow hacked them into my game, so I can understand why it's a sensitive issue for some people.

There's just no way of anybody knowing what is hacked and what's not. Without the person actually telling you or making it too obvious (like the person in the trading plaza a while ago who was selling any villager). Don't have massive problems with people doing it as long as they keep to themselves about it. I don't really agree with hacking loads of valuable items and then selling them on here and making a fortune in tbt from them....
