PSA for Traders/Host-ers about Wet Suits!!!

I've thought about this ever since I tried jumping off the dock but I wasn't sure if anyone could swim on your island. A good way to circumvent this from happening would be to place fencing on all of your beaches too so that once they get there, they can't move anywhere else on land.

They really should.

I’ve seen a post on Reddit as well warning people of this. Like others have said, I think that swimming is so slow that you should be able to shut down communications before the person reaches their target destination, but it’s a shame that we have to worry about this at all.
Going AFK while having strangers visit was already perhaps not the best idea, but this new update confirms that it’s better trading practice to be actively monitoring the trade as it happens.

I can't see it being too hard to do either. The wetsuit should be considered a tool the same way it was in NL.
I really like how that looks! I rarely invite people to my island but I might fence off my beaches anyway because I love how it looks aesthetically.

Can’t you just end the session if that ever happens?
You can if you're watching them, but I've been to some people"s islands who were leaving the game open so we could catalogue / wish on stars etc and they weren't actively playing.
Being able to restrict where visitors go is pretty handy in that instance.

Hopefully Nintendo will fix this. I don’t want to fence off all my beaches, so I probably won’t open up my island to strangers for awhile. I only do it for turnip sales anyway. It is a bummer, though.
true. but some folks have money trees that they don't want shaken. sadly, those do not grow back. also, since spare DIY can't be stored, a lot of folks have them in the house or on the ground. being able to lock down an area was great for trades.
i'm hoping nintendo just disallows diving off of the airport platform. since it looks visually fenced-in already.

I am hungry for storage space!
Thankfully, I am only doing trades and giveaways in this forum. But I will keep an eye if someone jumps from my airport dock.
I think people are overreacting. Remember, 99% of the people you trade with aren't vile creatures that want to ransack your island. They want to get out of the trade as soon as possible. Most trades are done in mins, like wave, drop, pick up, wave and Wilbur chat. That's it.
If you are worried about the items on the ground, simply watch the trade for suspicious behaviour. I mean its obvious if the person runs past you to god knows where, you can just end the connection ,right? And how often does this scenario happen to you? I assume rarely, bc most people are serious traders.
It makes me sad thinkng that people feel the need to fence off their beaches, can you imagine what hard work is that?? for a trade that will last only a few mins?

I’ve traded with hundreds of people online, and I’ve had instances where Redd will be on my island and people tried to run off to him. In trading discords (ie. Nookazon) there’s a lot of little kids as well who like to run off and have tried to run towards money trees and DIY piles. I made a fenced off around for trading because of this.
Is it overrating when you’re fencing off beaches for one trade? Imo, yes. But if you trade with several people a day for furniture or NMTs, I would make me kind of nervous. Also, it would really suck to have people go around the fences if you have a event or multiple people over. People can buy out your Nook inventory as well.

Oh gosh, this is definitely something to look out for. If you're fencing a pathway to your shops then maybe just staying at the airport entrance rather than by the shop is a better option now? When i normally let people in to sell turnips i stand by the shop but i think now it'll be much much safer to stand at the dock
I swear some people act like they cant just turn off their switch or close the damn game if someone tries to steal
Post automatically merged:
this! People just need to keep an eye on their docks if they dont want people getting out of fencing, which most people do anyway when opening their dodo on public discords or turnip exchange and such.

My whole island is accessible to every person that visits and I don't really follow them around... just pick up stuff that you are afraid they can steal and that's it. Nobody can really damage your island like they could in NL. The only things I fenced are my star trees.
