Should TBT bells now be abolished?

I bet most rich people here have duped bells at least once...

How can you be so sure? I mean there are plenty of people who actually work for their fortune by having succesfull commissions/shops or w/e.

Making money in AC is easy. Turnips, once you've figured them out are easy to benefit from. Not that many resort to duping.
 
The OP is making a lot of assumptions that are quite possibly baseless. If it isn't fun for him/her anymore, fine. But many others use and enjoy the TBT bells and have the right to do so.

It really looks to me like another case of someone who is disturbingly worried over how other people want to play and use their in-game and TBT bells.

And as for saying that the original purpose of them being corrupted...based on what evidence?

Idk...this doesn't look controversial to me. It looks like someone is worried over what isn't really a major concern for most others. I guess, in essence, a non-issue. I usually hate the term "non-issue," but it seems to fit here. *shrug*
 
Duping and cheating bells is hard work? And people who dont cheat are lazy? What kind of world do we live in?!

That's not what she meant.
She said people who do nothing to earn bells are alowed to join giveaways, while hardworkers can't.
Also she has a point. Anyone can join a giveaway. It's not a charity.
She said that rich people are not allowed in giveaways, even though there are alot of people who worked hard for bells.
Anyone can join a giveaway, not just those who are poor in-game.

Look man I dont want to start a fight or anything but when I quoted Flop back there i was talking about him giving them to the people who need them. She on the other hand doesnt even read my post besides "rich shouldnt join"

It's just virtual currency. Chill.

You can't control the economy of Bells, because there is an infinite amount of them in both AC and TBT.
Super-rich millionaires can join giveaways, and if you really felt that strongly, don't allow them to. It's not a charity, it's for fun.
Taking away TBT Bells doesn't solve anything, because you have a possibility for everybody duping Bells.
Exchange rates cannot be controlled, unless you somehow create a rule for exchange rates.

Point is, you need to learn to work with the system. I earn all my Bells from posting, and I rarely have more than 600. Do I care if others are hoarding thousands of TBT Bells? No, because I can what they are doing any day. It's their choice to do so.
 
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"?

3 times

This post is the best ^^

People of TBT I dont care if you rich guys and gals would like to join a giveaway its OK with me 100%! But when Flop said "I give them to people who need them" I wrote saying the rich don't need them as much as us poor people. And I forgot the name of the user but they took what I was saying out of context and then everyone started thinking that's what I meant -_-


Now about duping I shouldn't of said anything sorry but when you have over 100m it kind of gets suspicious. Please calm down and have a cup of Joe.

you cannot tell me that paying those sort of prices is being funded by catching bugs overnights, so you are actively encouraging people to dupe so they can offer more and more outrageous prices to buy TBT bells.

You really have no room to talk. You pay 1mil per 100 and you buy them all the time. So how do we know you aren't duping money?

To answer your post before which I read the whole of, just saw no point in replying to the whole one: Flop indeed gives stuff to those who need it. I've seen them help people get name changes and stuff before. but that doesn't mean that his giveaway has to be to someone who needs it. Because if he wanted that, he'd not have made it into a guessing game, and instead made it some kind of survey stating what exactly you need it for.
Besides, "rich" people can need bells to. Me for an example, i have thousands, but I still need more to afford the yellow letter. So just because you're "rich", doesn't mean you don't need more.

Duping and cheating can be hard work, as you need to be very precise to be able to do it. you also need to have two ds's or go all the way in finding a duping partner. So that's harder than just sitting around hoping other people will give the stuff to you. I don't approve of this method, but I do acknowledge how hard it is to do it, not everyone can.

What I meant with hard work was like me, for an example. Having an art/signature/avatar shop where I spend hours on drawing for people for a virtual currency that means nothing. That is hard work.
And like willow, breeding hybrids and selling them for TBT. And like Witch, selling hard obtained items. And drew, selling hard obtained golden tools. THIS is what I meant with hard work, not duping.

Oh Snap.

This girl is badass. I swear.

This isn't a Bigg issue really. *Giggles and hides in corner*

Back on topic:

Bigg, you're great and all, but....

You're complaining about people excessively buying tbt bells for high prices, which makes you think they're duping.

Have you seen your situation? Have you seen how long you've been buying tbt bells?

I'm not trying to burst your bubble or accuse you of duping, but you do exactly what you're accusing everyone of.

Gurl you tell 'em!

Anyway, for me, I have... A lot of bells. But I don't need to be a genius to know that if I save for a long time; am active on it and don't spend many bells often, then I'll be able to earn more than enough.
I think people need to wake up and realize that they're arguing over a virtual currency which doesn't even exist. That's like arguing over who gets to keep the imaginary puppy.
