Ridiculous auctions for ridiculous prices.

[LambdaDelta]

NMT fit perfectly as a villager currency due to one villager moving out then having an open lot for a new one to move in. Selling the villager for the most NMT possible is obviously the smartest choice possible to maximize the potential for a better villager to move in. Makes perfect sense as a currency to me.

Its almost like it was put in the game for that very reason.

I mean it's also straight-up nh's own gacha-esque system. just without the whole predatory aspect of trying to get people to spend their irl money on, so


and I highly doubt nintendo thought about people trading hundreds to thousands of these for a single character or making an entire market around

which yeah, failure of foresight on their part

possibly.
I only had that one word to say but I would get a post quality infraction if I only posted "possibly"
lol

i can see trading for a handful of nmt, my point was about how crazy of a currency they've become. iirc one ticket goes for over 200k igb now, and if raymond sells for 500 nmt that makes him 100 million igb which is frankly ridiculous.

you need to work on responding to people without being patronizing dude.

I wish I could keep up with the prices but its tougher when I don't TT, its unfortunate but I'm sure with some time the prices of everything will settle down!

Exactly how am I being patronizing?
And, Its called supply and demand.

Hello,

the game has not been out for long and I see people bidding for Raymond for example.
Now I know this is a popular villager but people are offering about 1000 nook mile tickets.

Now I don't think anyone can have that much tickets straight up legit. I know with the duping of crowns the site decided to take a stance.
I was wondering what is the official stance on these crazy nook mile offers?

One cannot help but wonder if these tickets are even obtained 'fairly.'

Now I do not mind these things to much but I cannot help but feel that these tickets are obtained unfairly and of course you cannot stop it, but some auctions are ridiculous no one can have that amount of money without using fair tools.

Also I would like to warn against buying tickets on Ebay.

The tickets are not legit these people use a homebrew switch and can generate as many tickets as they want out of thin air.
You buying from them means they can keep doing it cause if they get banned they buy another switch.
Not that they can get banned cause they run a imagine clone and it's the clone that gets banned.

I was hoping the Bell tree forums can help me fight these ebay sellers and warn the people that it's not legit.

We should open a discord with each other, where high bidding like 500 nmt for things are forbidden. Let me know if you're interested, we can discuss more details c:

There are already smaller discords that are quite good. I am going to sleep now but drop me a message later maybe I can hook you up in a community that likes to share, so no entrance fees etc. All we ask is that you also do share a bit of love. Not give away stuff free but share like a diy recipe that's at your village etc.

Thank you very much! That is very kind if you, I'd appricated it much!

I have been on the sidelines watching things blow up, but I do think a lot of prices and current situation will be put into check once TBT, the forum currency, is available as a form of payment since just having over 1,000 TBT is a good amount. TBT also has value due to the collectible economy which gives more personality to people's profiles. Additionally, TBT is a more controlled form of currency that does not inflate unless there is more activity on the forums and when old TBT is brought back from already existing accounts. Lastly, staff also have done many measures in the past to prevent abuse. I think it would be best to wait until TBT is available again before thinking the economy of New Horizons is jacked. Just my thoughts and curious if anyone else feels the same.

I couldnt agree more. Hopefully they get things up and running soon

i was done with this thread but i've just found out that the day of the duplication patch it was discovered possible to dupe nook mile tickets. you can cover your whole island in them rather quickly in fact.

so that's a development!

Thats a pretty big claim and I cant seem to find anywhere on the internet where that is true.
I would like some proof. A simple link please.

Link or it didn't happen

 

[seliph]

yeah i'm not linking anything since i'm unsure if staff would approve but luckily for everyone there's always google. there's also been reports of players duping nmt prior to the patch, one person claiming they duped about 300.

plus one of my sources is someone posting the literal new method lol.

Thats exactly what I thought you would say...
There is nothing on the web that suggests that it was ever possible.
Its like, why would you even say anything in the first place if you are going to refuse to prove it? lol

 

[Hatcher]

i actually can see where lambda is coming from lol. i don't mind large igb trades at all, though i for the life of me cannot understand why nmt became such a valuable currency.

in terms of in-game use, you can't pay off your loan with them, you can't buy nook miles furniture with them, and they're not a crafting material. their literal only purpose is mystery island hopping and unless you're determined to find twitter eboy cat on your own there's no point in owning more than like 10

as far as the igb trade limit goes, i think i've said this before but it should definitely loosen up over time. the reason it was so hastily implemented is because to dupe glitch was still around.

Because it's a much easier way to transfer wealth (due to the density of its slot value), and you can always sell NMT tickets for bells if you so desire.

Bells = 99k per slot
NMTs = 2m per slot at the prevailing market rates (of 200k IGB per)

All I could find was someone claiming they did and not providing the method. That's not proof

Do what you want with in-game trades but it's disgusting seeing members get over 15k TBT from selling nook miles tickets within a few days. If you can buy them with RLC on ebay it should be BANNED from using for trade with tbt. Like DeviantArt points were and every other cryptocurrency. Doesn't matter how you acquire it

Post automatically merged: Apr 7, 2020

If Raymond goes for 950 NMTs in an auction, and nmts go for 25 tbt like ive been seeing, but I'll round down to 20tbt each, thats 19,000 tbt for 1 villager.

You can also buy in-game bells for real life currency (RLC) online in various places, so should in-game bells be banned as well?

 

[Jacob]

If In-game bells trades for TBT specifically gets abused like Nook Miles Tickets are currently, it probably should be banned yes. Staff shouldn't allow richer adults take a monopoly on The Bell Tree's currency
