Should TBT bells now be abolished?

Would selling Blue roses be better? I've got a whole patch of them (Off topic like always :rolleyes:)

No because for gold roses you need the golden can and no beautiful town rule and you can not breed them to make a gold rose but you can breed them to make a yellow rose
 
Then they will get in trouble. Just report them. No need to abolish TBT bells just because a person duped and sold it here.
It's unfair to those who actually use it right.

Doing something on another forum doesn't violate the rules of this one. Even if someone dupes over on gamefaqs, where s the proof that they are using the duped bells here?

Also just throwing this idea out there: make TBT bound to character instead of having the transfer TBT option. I, however, see no reason to change the current TBT system.

Let people do their thing. I think we should care about ourselves. Apart from the staff who have to care about us.

Best post in the thread, hands down.

Just set the exchange rate at a permenant rate, unless it needs to be changed.

Anyone who tries to sell above gets in trouble.

This is actually a good idea. This is so the difference between "rich" and "poor" players can be balanced and the "poor" will have a better chance to get what they want without fear of being outbid by the "rich". That way duping will be a non-issue altogether because everyone is on the same ground, buying and selling at the same rate.

I still worked hard for my bells, but I still would like to buy at a regular rate to keep it fair for everyone unless I'm absolutely desperate (which I did once at 100TBT=1mil and no one even sold to me xD).

I think what should be done is remove the auction tags of the TBT board? That way people can sell for whatever rate they want and no one will be griefed by being outbid or something.

...people use selling tags for auctions too though so what am i talking about--

If your only complaint is exchanging them for AC bells, why didn't you propose disallowing that as oppose to completely abolishing them? Either way, the AC bell has decreased in value compared to the TBT bell, which is not really a big deal. The value of game bells has always had a negative relationship with the length in which the game has been out. As people earn more bells in the game, the total amount of bells in the virtual economy are increased, so the value of a single bell decreases. This is how it works in the real world too.

That being said, the amount of people actually exchanging the two currencies is not very high. Sure, being rich in Animal Crossing gives you an advantage with TBT Bells because of the exchange, but so does posting a lot on the forum, being active enough to buy rare collectibles, etc.

Someone set up an official acnl bells - tbt bells exchange rate. Like with real life exchange rates, they fluctuate with the economy, supply-and-demand, etc.

So here's an even better idea. Which also complement's Jeremy's post quite well.

I don't see why "rich" people shouldn't be allowed to join a giveaway. It's a giveaway, not a charity. Why should a lazy person who doesn't do things to earn bells be allowed to join when the hard workers aren't. Why can't those who work hard be allowed to get something for free for once? ^^

THANK YOU.

You don't have to dupe to get rich and be able to buy bells.

On that note, how does OP even know duping is the way for people to get bells? Why is it the only thing mentioned, specifically?

I think there's something deeper to this.

I hope tbt bells do not get abolished. They are a fun alternative and super useful, too! I bought my dear Fauna without have to spend any of my precious in-game bells. I agree with Adol the Red, it IS possible to make that kind of money from island-ing and the turnip market. And just selling stuff on tbt! I got 2 million bells overnight just by selling a bunch of hybrids.
 
I don't think TBT bells should be abolished, then the collectibles will be easy to get. Yes you may wonder how people get their bells but why? People may dupe, but how do you know for sure, I don't think people dupe to get money, they earn it. Like I do, and I certainly do not want TBT bells to be abolished.
 
Yeah but, at the end of the day, the 'rich' will control the market. The whole reason the rate goes up the first place is because people don't leave it long enough for the chance to bring it down, and instead they just ride over the highest buyer so far to get more sellers/buyers. That's life, and that's how it works. I don't see why people feel the need to stress of a currency which practically comes from thin pixel air. You post, you get TBT bells. You're active, you guess TBT bells. You answer a poll. Guess what? You get TBT bells.

I only opened a thread to buy TBT bells once, and that was only to get enough to buy my yellow Japanese collectible hehe. Anyway, I just really don't see why people who are considered 'rich' should be dragged down with everyone else (buying with a permanent, set rate) since it means they'll lose buyers to others.

Especially seeing as it's simply nothing more than tactics. You want more TBT bells? Beat the current 'market'. Or be crafty and make a profit by selling your AC bells for TBT bells and, next time there's a higher buy rate, sell your TBT bells to them. Yay! You now have more AC bells than before. Voila! A profit. Then simply rinse, repeat and don't forget to join the other 'rich' users and beat their market to buy TBT bells.

There is only one solution. A global cyber-attack, that uploads a virus corrupting everyone's game. Boom. Every bank account in ACNL wiped overnight. And then, it's every Mayor for themselves. Starting from the basics, fashioning weapons out of sticks and stones.


Also, I'm happy to launder any dirty bells people have made through duping :cool:

Why stop at ACNL bank accounts? Attack the TBT Bell bank accounts too. Completely start from scratch in both markets then.
 
Getting stressed over virtual currency is an individual problem.

And its impossible to dictate or control "duped Bells" so like with hacked Pokemon there is no way to prevent this scenario at all. There will always be ways to "get around" the expected method of obtaining.

TBT bells will not be abolished, so I don't see the point of this.
 
Mixed feelings about this. In my opinion, I don't agree that TBT bells should be abolished. As the value of in-game bells decreases, the value of TBT bells increases. There are people out there who genuinely earn their in-game bells correctly and genuinely earn their TBT bells by staying active. And this forum wouldn't be the same without TBT bells. :]

Anyway, I don't see a reason for the TBT to disappear. I find it good that they exist, and I can charge that instead of in-game bells that are easily duped. There are only so many TBT Bells, and obtaining them is harder than getting bells, which makes it a better currency to charge so I myself won't have to spend hours on doing things that is paid for by a 10 minute duping session. ^^
Duping and cheating bells is hard work? And people who dont cheat are lazy? What kind of world do we live in?!

Where did you get that from? Please show me what part makes duping hard work? Can you even read? o3o

Not everyone dupes and cheats. I highly doubt every "rich" person on this forum "dupes" or what you consider "cheating". Possibility they may be some "rich" people here who has duped once or more before (might not be any at all) but I'm pretty sure mainly all the "rich" people on this forum get their bells through hard work (whether it be turnips, selling items/sets legitimately, bug-hunting, fruit selling, selling villagers, list goes on. Earning the bells through legitimate means basically.)

And quoting from you " And people who dont cheat are lazy?"
Yes and no. Depending on how you define "people who dont cheat".

Yes because there are people who don't "cheat" that don't really put effort into making bells or earning TBT bells etc. And only lurk around the forums to enter give-aways.

For example, I remember holding give-aways before, and people only mainly went for the easy way to enter, which was commenting "enter me" for 1 entry. While others who put effort into entering actually did the other entries which were "visiting my dream address (5 entries), drawing a picture of a villager (5 entries)" etc etc. So for me, that's considered pretty lazy for those who don't put in half the effort that other people put in when entering give-aways.

And it's not like the "rich" people magically got rich either. They earned their fair share. And through legitimate ways too.

See how many times I used the word "legitimate"?
