I'm pretty sure Buge is having you on, seeing as how he posted in that very thread at some point.

EDIT: Okay, I'm not 100% sure about that, but I'm pretty sure?

The blunder of the century, circa 1995.

THIS GAME STINKS.

I don't play Animal Crossing, so I'm not particularly familiar with all the details, but this article was fantastic.

After a duping bug resulted massive inflation and the total collapse of the Animal Crossing economy, slave trading became the new economy.

Mongrel, that guy sounds like he doesn't have the balls to take advantage of item duping.

I don't really mind infinite money cheating if you're struggling with a game due to difficulty or balance, but there's nothing difficult about Animal Crossing. Money functions as a pacing mechanism and a barometer of dedication or cleverness, and giving yourself arbitrarily large amounts of money duping rare items fucks up the former and takes all the thrill out of the latter. It's not like there some sort of Region First achievement for getting a complete set of gold furniture; you don't need golden tools in order to be competitive. Your friends aren't going to yell at you for visiting their towns with less than perfect gear.

But hey, if these people want to play the entire Mario game in the golden tanuki suit, I don't have a problem with that. Personally, I like to feel accomplishment when I'm done with a game, but it's their game to do with what they want.

It's really funny how people have opted to take the gameplay out of Animal Crossing.

They paid 35 bucks to be chained up, I don't think they deserve an easy way out.

The thing is, they're not finally free, they've just moved on to a different form of currency. The people themselves. See, who is in your village is randomized, so the dupe barons are now trading citizens from their golden palaces to get the perfect comp.

yes, it's Kotaku, but this is a not-bad blurb on game design and ways to make losing fun.
