Ridiculous auctions for ridiculous prices.

If In-game bells trades for TBT specifically gets abused like Nook Miles Tickets are currently, absolutely it should be banned yes. Staff will and should never allow richer adults take a monopoly on The Bell Tree's currency.

And what about somebody like me who made upwards of 1-2k tickets selling hybrids, villagers, gold watering cans and other various items. Am I not allowed to sell my tickets for TBT?

 

[Jacob]

Yeah it shouldn't matter how people get them, they're kinda abused and broken. Cryptocurrencies shouldn't really be sold for tbt

 

[Millysaurusrexjr]

The entire reason I come to the Bell Tree Forums is because I don't want to spend time with picking up/putting down in game bells - TBT was so convenient and was a complete game changer when it came to trading in New Leaf. Now I have another currency to worry about? I hope the AC devs make it so that NMT are non-transferable

 

[toadsworthy]

in about a month or so time, having one zillion NMT is gonna literally mean nothing. And the people harboring them will just be fools... like its laughable thinking about owning 900+ NMT, when its meant to take you to an island. As people settle they're mostly gonna want IGB or actual furniture, plus half of TBT will leave as it sounds like, since almost everyone seems to talk like they despise the game for trivial reasons or reasons... that.... aren't actual.... reasons? (see the thread "this game isn't charming but I'm talking about game mechanics")

I think its a godsend TBT currency isn't working because it would ruin it I feel like or have a major shift in it. But what doesn't come with a lot of TBT is knowing what to do with it, so I'm not worried in the sense of collectible marketplace since the ones who care about it most will keep it safe.

and didn't all this probably happen with NL's release? so I assume time would mend that or calm it down again... its a pity that so many people are buying NMT or IGB for currency. People wanna complain about micro transactions, but then also want to be ok with crap like that for a game that doesn't need it. Smh.

Yes it doesn't matter how you got them, they're abused and broken. Cryptocurrencies shouldn't be sold for tbt

Yeah, sorry its not my problem that other people buy tickets. I earned mine through countless hours of mind numbing grinding and trades and if I want to sell my tickets for TBT im going to. I understand that its frustrating because there is a new currency in Animal crossing now, but clearly times are changing and it is silly to restrict an item that is easily obtained legitimately through grinding on an Animal Crossing site. Especially if the site allows trades.

 

[toadsworthy]

I think it says a lot that the ones concerned and frustrated with seeing these high NMT are mostly people on the forums who actively participate, been around a while. While the ones trying to justify them are mostly profiles from 2020

 

[Jacob]

in all honesty its not that big of a deal

I see a lot of members that have been around for years that think the same way I do. I also see a lot of the opposite.

 

[Corrie]

I am so glad I haven't been trading with people or following trading boards. The AC community is getting so dramatic over a video game. Lol it's entertaining.

It's a shame it's happening. I'm just waiting for everything to die down. It's like everyone scrambling for toilet paper a few weeks back. Now that it's calmed down you can buy toilet paper again normally. I'm sure that'll happen with this game too.

If I'm rich the right away by working my butt off, I would very much so be upset at people who counterfeit money or earned it the wrong way. The fact that a solid way to get the currency by the way of means that breaks TBT rules shows it should be regulated

but granted people are counterfeiting a currency that in two weeks will be 50% worth as much as it is now... and to get villagers that will get some sort of amiibo representation in the future anyway and make it all worth naught.

But have fun going to your 900 Nook Islands to farm for wood, rock, and more godforsaken eggs

I 100% agree with you except for the last part. Its just not fair to the people that worked very hard for it is all im saying. I dont know why people dont understand that.


(yeah i know that doesnt mean 100% )

I'm just gonna edit this away because it was a little bit much from my part, plus I feel bad having the thread derailed

how would you propose they separate the honorable ones from the ones purchasing NMT though? an honor code lol

so unfortunately that means serious regulations need to be put in place. Does that suck for those who do it honorably? yes, but I think its showing and frustrating to a lot of people who don't play that way, which is a large group of vocal people, that have a point. To not address it continues to ruin the experience. That experience is interacting on a forum like this. I love being able to sell and buy villagers and goods, but i wouldn't dare go near it for these stupid prices in NMT and I don't think TBT is the place for it. Luckily there is a core group of people who help each other and it has not affected my experience at all (love and appreciate all those who regularly help each other out). If you don't like that, there are other forums more attune to that - sounds like reddit is the dog-eat-dog world for this bs. Not the community I've come to know and love/ call internet home.

It's just hard to understand only because you say you work hard by selling items for nook miles tickets, then selling the nook miles tickets for TBT. You're not working hard because you're using an exploit. You would be working hard if you sold the hybrids, villagers, etc, for TBT. not nook miles that you can trick inexperienced members for tbt, that's not working hard for tbt. I just feel bad for people who are getting jipped and tricked from people who are working to exploit the market, it's sad

Wow. I have a lot to say right now..

First off, I always gave the option for either one. I would sell all of my hybrids and gold cans for TBT or NMT.

Second, who are you to say I didnt work hard? I have over 4,000 hybrids dude. I worked my butt off for those and I got my town up to 5 star as fast as I could SPECIFICALLY to sell the gold cans at a high price. Its extremely unfair for you to say I didnt work hard for my Items and TBT. Not to mention the countless amount of trades I had to do to sell thousands of hybrids and trade for NMT.

Third, most new member didnt have any TBT anyway so selling tickets to me for hybrids was their only option as I do not want bells. And to be quite honest, most of the people that bought NMT from me with TBT were older members than me even, so I dont want to hear it.

It makes me sound really bad when you insinuate that people that have made purchases off of me got jipped. You can ask anybody that I traded with that I usually throw extra items in because I try to be generous to this community but now I feel like im getting crapped on. I really dont appreciate it. So thanks for that.

Whats really sad is members trying to shame other members for cornering a market before they thought of it themselves.

 

[Jacob]

Honestly I think i was a little harsh im sorry, i dont even use NMTs. I'm probably assuming far worse than what's true

I don't personally like how NMTs are being used but it doesn't actually matter as long as people are getting what they want

I can agree with that.
Thanks for being level headed and actually explaining it in a way that makes sense.

Its cool dude. I get It.
Look, I guess im a little stressed out because all I am trying to do is give people a little perspective on why its unfair to assume that everybody with a lot of tickets is cheating in some way. If it TRULY is breaking the market, then sure maybe it should be temporarily restricted (at least until that stupid Raymond Amiibo card is released) Crazy prices will most likely die down at that point.

 

[nadireon]

tbh i think the situation is just a lose/lose in general. if ticket transactions are banned, people who gain their tickets legitimately are being punished as well, but if ticket transactions are allowed (going under the assumption that the NMT economy remains in the way it currently is) auctions will still be very wack.

the ideal is that these villagers get their own amiibo cards so there will be a surefire way of obtaining them and hopefully the price will go down a bit / stabilize

 

[Antonio]

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.

I mean, the glitch has been fixed.

I can't seem to find anything on google or yt.

 

[seliph]

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)

i guess? ty for an actual response regardless

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

i think having 300 nmt 3 days into the game is proof enough personally

youre right but there’s already the exact same lose/lose situation going on with large igb transactions, i don’t think a temporary limit would hurt too bad just to slow things down

It's very likely to get 300 NMT in 3 days, especially if you've worked to get the money and then buy the tickets
Again I'm not believing you until I see some proof that you can dupe tickets
