Suggestion- Cancel multiple trades for one pet when get pet?

Postby The Dodgeful Actor » Wed Jul 25, 2012 10:00 am

OK, so I have a suggestion.

Today I've been hunting down mine and my brother's dreamies. I've been sending off multiple trades, looking for the inky cat from Halloween - giving different users different offers based on their WL, and to get me the best chance of one offer looking good. And I'm worried that, once I log off tonight, I'll come back to find that more than one has been accepted. This would leave me with a lack of fodder and more inky cats than I actually want.

And therefore, my suggestion... If you're sending multiple trades to different users, all looking for the trade, when one trade is accepted, the others should get auto-cancelled. (And possibly an option to automatically remove pets that you own from your wishlist. Which you could disable, if you wanted to hoard the pets).
Or, if you want to hoard the pets or get more than one or whatever, you should be able to change a setting or pick from a menu, selecting either 'when I get this pet, auto-cancel all other trades for it, and remove it from my wishlist', or 'don't auto-cancel and don't remove from wishlist'.

So... supporters?

The option for auto removal from wishlist won't be implemented first off.
If you're worried about having more than one trade being accepted, then why not only send those mass trades when you are online?
Part of the game's fun is trading. Good trades and bad and part of the game is luck in who accepts your trade. If you're making a fair trade for the cat, then why not just put the new cat in your fodder if it is an equal swap? If you're overpaying, then only do those trades one at a time or when you're online.

Or you can offer the same pet(s) in each trade. Once the first one is accepted, all the others are auto-canceled sicne one of the pets is gone.
