TBT conversion rate too high?

[Shirohibiki]

I believe I know why people charge so much in-game Bells for TBT. It's because they need a lot of in-game Bells to get stuff like the ABD and their houses paid. And they pay little since they don't have enough TBT.

Why did we ignore the moderators when they said "you control the price, not the mods" too many times? I certainly didn't ignore them when Prof Gallows said that the first time.

hahahaha no houses do not cost that much. no. thats asinine and you know it. people are greedy and like wasting each others' time, thats literally it lol

 

[Sholee]

Unless WE do something about it.

the method you suggested has been tried and failed

Wasn't that just one member that was trying to earn enough for a name change?

This time the 100:10 member is here for some real hefty collectibles business, I guess?
With the holidays just around the corner, the TBT collectibles market would probably be extremely lively.

why would you even remotely waste your time dropping all those bells? jesus, people.

Well, it's double digits now, an offer to good to refuse, especially for the sellers of BTB.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but 10 mil is just 5 roundtrips from Re-Tail to ABD, assuming it's 2 mil per trip.
Unless the members are new to all these, most regulars here can complete that transaction fairly fast now.
I have not use the bell droppings method on such a large amount, so I can't comment on that.

but you know eventually dropping 10mil for 100btb will become the norm
it's just going to keep increasing until the forums explode

I sure hope not - it probably won't? as ACNL's been out for over a year now, the interest is somewhat fading -
until the next new one arrive, that is. But I sure want to see how 'flexible' the forum economy is.

isn't it faster to make 100 btb by posting on the forums
than to drop 10mil

The novelty thrill of a super shortcut, especially when it's readily available and 'legit'?
Instead of posting a lot (the usual way), d*ping (also the usual way, depending on who/where you asked),
this kind of conversion is *not* against any rules, and it saves players lots of time in earning in-game bells, so why not?
There's even a hint of guilty pleasure in it. Well, at least to me, it was.

I'm tempted to start a TBT trade group that trades strictly at 2.5 Million Bells per 100 TBT. Just because.

... but why would i only be buying 100 tbt???? and why would i WANT to waste my time on 5 roundtrips when 5 roundtrips couldve gotten me HUNDREDS of tbt before??? absolutely not.

also lol @ people whining at the price being lowered in that other thread o m g..............

god, please do

ITT: nikki gets upset and whiny about tbt = bell conversions

 

[NSFW]

wow last time i was here (2-3 months ago) the rate was 2 mil what

 

[Bird]

Time to update my spreadsheet with absurd rates, heh heh.

Seriously though, it's time for me to spend my TBT bells wisely now. I'm still buying bells, but I'll stop for a while and see how this turns out. If the rates go any higher, I have to resort to selling other things. I don't know how I feel about this now.

 

[f11]

Raised it to 10.5 mill.

That's just a rant.
Which was back when the rate was 800k per 100. DOESN'T SEEM SO BAD NOW, DOES IT? XD

 

[Sanaki]

Yes they are way too high lol. Such agony running back and forth to the ABD 5-6 times for 100 measly TBT bells.

 

[Bird]

I did it. I added the rates. Now to see what happens.

From what I've seen, players tend to sell their BTB in smaller batches, say 100-300. Not everyone has 500+ to sell in one go.
And if the supply of IG Bells is not a concern to me, I probably don't mind doing smaller batches here and there,
as it'd be like a leisure hobby - not too different from, say, collecting furniture sets or badges; and the low conversion rate is 'before', a thing of the past. No sure if it would return someday, yet inflated rates are what we have at the moment. No, I don't fancy it either, but members are free to buy/sell at whatever they feel is right, so yeah. -__-
More importantly
Our cutie little ACNL characters could definitely use all that bell bags weight lifting & ABD marathons.
Ask any jock villagers and they'll happily tell you it's for the greater good and you NEED all that training.
On an somewhat related note:
Have you ever picked up 20 lucky clovers in a row? at some point it's ;__; omg stop eet already i can't do eet anymore.
Guess it would be the same with dropping & picking up bags? XD

And to paraphrase Radagast: "I'd like to see you try". No, seriously, I doubt there are many effective solutions out there -
'outlawing' high rates or anything 'official' is out of the question, which leave it open to players' choice.

The high TBT rate wouldn't bother me as much if money bags can hold up to 999,999 Bells at a time, as well as the wallet.

 

[Eldin]

yes it is ridiculously high

but it's whatever people are willing to pay. if you have a problem with it then DON'T BUY and people will be forced to lower prices.

all I hear now is everybody whining about it. well, you can't actually regulate it at all, so either pay 10m or don't. no point moaning about it. I mean really it's just forum bells

also, imo the reason it's so crazy is because in-game bells are worth very little now because most people on the forums have been playing for a long time and have a lot of in-game bells accumulated (and can sell easily obtained holiday/rare items for a lot of bells on the forums). unfortunately this sucks for new players, but hey

 

[Dork]

when you realize you're more concerned about tbt's economy than your own country's

 

[Nerd House]

all I hear now is everybody whining about it. well, you can't actually regulate it at all, so either pay 10m or don't. but do we really need to keep moaning about it? good god it's just forum bells

And don't buy is actually the solution. As for "it's just forum bells" these "forum bells" allowed me to buy almost a dozen 3DS games and Steam games I'd have been unable to get otherwise. So they DEFINITELY have their uses.

Exactly what I said.

And that's great, but that's not what they were originally meant for, and the mods don't exactly approve of it anyways. They were intended for use on the site, to buy collectibles/trade/buy in-game items, whatever. Which is all just pixels, whether on the site or in Animal Crossing. I just think people need to relax a little bit and not act like this is such a travesty and so unfair. I just think people are getting too worked up over something that really is not a big deal. That's just my opinion, obviously many here feel strongly about it.

@Faybun; So true. c;

That's what I said a few pages ago in this post. And while I do agree with you that some people are making it a big deal, it really isn't. If people who just do as I suggested and not buy until people lower their prices, it wouldn't be so bad. But people are in such a clamor to buy these pixels and are extremely impatient and have to have instant gratification.

I personally don't care about TBT or IG Bells anymore, I just posted in here to try to help everyone.

The only thing they are against using TBT for is trading real life currency. So, eshop codes, amazon gifts cards, ect. Everythign else is okay. Like download codes and PIN codes.

Exactly. And like you said, you'd have to get everyone together on it, and with new members and such (or people who just want to buy TBT and don't care about the price), it's very difficult. I'm curious to see how high it will top out at, honestly.

And yes I know what you mean about codes and such, I just meant that they don't want to be the ones responsible if people are scammed out of codes (whether free downloads or eshop or whatever). Which makes sense. Otherwise I'm sure they don't care.

 

[Alolan_Apples]

I'm sure that you will find a way to lower the exchange rate one day.

One thing that still bugs me about this thread are the tags. What do they have to do with the TBT exchange rate? Why are they there?
