Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a game designed for coziness and comfort, but certain mechanics have left players feeling frustrated. Tasks like printing Nook Miles tickets, obtaining Bell Vouchers, and crafting multiple items can quickly become tedious. Add to that the endless button-mashing, which can leave even the strongest thumbs sore for hours, and you might be looking for the next plane off the island. Despite the game being released in 2020, players are still venting about these lingering issues.
On the Animal Crossing: New Horizons subreddit, user dograpestastegood shared a photo of their in-game inventory filled with Bell vouchers, captioning it, "This took 2.5 hours of smashing the A button..." They added, "My thumb hurts, but my ABD has been fed." While the post seems like a lighthearted take on the tedious process of button-mashing to obtain vouchers, many comments reveal that this frustration is a serious issue shared by a lot of players. One that many think could have easily been remedied earlier in the game’s life.
So why do tasks like redeeming vouchers and crafting take so long in Animal Crossing: New Horizons? After all, the game is designed to be a relaxing escape...
