Warning for illegal transaction

[Last_bus_home]

Hello staff, I got my post on Nook’s Cranny removed and a warning for an illegal transaction because (according to the warning) I was offering hacked or duplicated items. I was offering Nook Miles Tickets, and yes, a lot of them, because that’s the going rate for the villager I was asking for. Every time I have seen this villager auctioned, it has been to someone offering large amounts of Nook Miles Tickets, is everyone getting this warning or is it just me? I suppose I will just use the tickets to try to find the villager myself but what is the limit we are allowed to offer before we are penalised? How is this decided? My switch isn’t hacked, I don’t know how to duplicate items, I traded extensively for these tickets and I don’t understand why others are being allowed to use them as a currency or have the rules changed? Thank you for your time in reading my concern.

Don't have the answer to your question but just objectively this doesn't sound fair to me. Idk why they feel they can send out warnings based on pure conjecture. They don't know how people get their stuff and it's super unfair to say just because someone has a lot of equity they must have cheated; I see people work their butts off to make bank, and it's totally possible to have millions of bells or hundreds of tickets playing legit. idk just my opinion.

Have to agree with Ploom here.. Ive made 100's of tickets legitimately through trade.. Why would I get a warning exactly if I were to use those said tickets to bid on a villager?

You can't even use the duplication glitch on Nook Miles Tickets... with TBT being disabled, Nook Tickets are (unfortunately) one of the better items to trade for villagers, goods and services.

It isn't difficult to get upwards of 10 Tickets a day, if you play for a long time and are actively completing Nook Miles+ tasks.

This infraction you got is completely unfair.

Also, let's not forget people could TT and get those tickets by that way.

Same applies to bells, just go a week further and keep on doing the stalk market. It's hard to determine how ppl got these things in the first place.

Not letting this post die. This needs to be addressed

Agreed. I barely even TT and I'm sitting on over 50k Nook Miles .. after buying over 100 for myself.

exactly. so many ways someone could legitimately acquire hundreds of these tickets. I have a hybrid shop and I have over 200 tickets just from trading flowers...

And on a side note (I'm also curious like the OP,) was everyone getting this warning for offering tickets? Because I know for a fact I've seen multiple people offering a few hundred tickets for certain villagers (lookin' at you, Raymond

)
Seems like a pretty common offer.

You can't even use the duplication glitch on Nook Miles Tickets...

and this makes the infraction all the more confusing.

I have quite a lot of nook miles tickets from selling merengue on twitter and through other trades. I was worried something like that would happen if I used it mainly as my currency on here. I don’t think thats fair to those who worked hard in the game to obtain many tickets the right way through trading etc.

With this being the precedent they're setting, the mods may as well make a spreadsheet of their idea of acceptable prices for items/villagers and ban everyone who doesn't adhere to it looooool

That seems rather weird. I’m guessing they don’t want any excessive trading since they would feel that they were obtained illegitimately, even if you did get them legitimately.

That reminds me of the collectible craze and how users ask for so many TBT bells for one collectible. At one time, the white feather collectible was worth 50,000 TBT Bells. The administrators found this to be excessive, so they tried to nerf TBT Bells to prevent extremely high prices like that.

Honestly, this thread has really turned me off on my thoughts of making a hybrid flower store later on. I already get infractions and warnings enough whenever I speak my mind, I don't want to get warnings or even an infraction because of something like this. It'd absolutely make me livid.

I feel this pain. i get warnings all the time when i literally do NOTHING.
whoever's been sending out the warnings/infractions recently needs to be fired

They did? Also, what does "nerf"ing a currency look like?

As for this discussion: just appeal it via PM. The game's new, not everyone knows all the mechanics.

As someone who's gotten warnings and even a suspension over LITERALLY NOTHING before (mods took the liberty of assuming I had a second account because my boyfriend and I both used our accounts off of same IP address) it make me livid just thinking about it too.

They disabled Welcome Bells and other systems. Although they admitted disabling Welcome Bells because of people abusing the system, Justin also admitted that he didn’t want to see outrageously high prices on collectibles, hence why Welcome Bells are gone. Of course, the fact that many of us left for a long time may have decreased the amount of TBT in circulation, but even with all of it going back into circulation, there are so many collectibles now that a collectible won’t even sell if priced at 20k TBT.

You were suspended because they thought you had two accounts? That's pretty silly. I could understand if there was an account currently under suspension on your IP, but with two accounts still active, that is very uncalled for. More than one person exists in most households...

 

[allainah]

Also the irony that they never did anything about those "i sell everything! shops" in new-leaf retail section who were OBVIOUS dupers/hackers because they "couldn't prove it". Well you can't "prove" that these people are hacking NMT either so,,,

Doubt.

haha and they didn't even inquire first. Just *boop* suspended...

anyway I guess my point is they often seem to be too hasty with the infractions & suspensions. So while it ticks me off, it hardly surprises me.
