Trade Rant Thread

[Tif + Jo]

Whilst I normally don't mind blank trades and look through a person's pets, it bugs me if a person who DO leave messages talk in chat speat or beg to adopt pets that otherwise are not for adoption O_x


Someone sent a trade for all my Dreamers and my Pirate Group with this message

OMG can I adopt pls? i take good caer of them!!!!!!!!

-urks-

[Kari Lion]

OMG, seriously, either accept the trade, edit the trade, or cancel the trade. Don't just leave the trade sitting there!

I know I have like 14 trades sitting in my center....no reply or anything!

some of mine are from older members who aren't online anymore, or are ones I sent out on a whim, and I can deal with those.

But when someone sends ME a trade, practically pleading with me to see if there is anything they can give me for a pet they really really want, and I send back an edited trade to give them an opportunity to get said pet, and they DON'T REPLY in any way shape or form even when I KNOW they've been on the site because they have made posts since... that really bugs me >_<

Cancel Message: It's quite rude to ask for free pets from someone who does not have a "Free Adopts" or “Give-aways” group. If you're looking for free pets, try this forum:

vhttp://www.chickensmoothie.com/Forum/v ... m.php?f=22

Make sure you red the rules on the thread before you ask, as each person has different ones. Some make you play a game or solve a riddle. Some of these treads are specifically made to help newer players get their dream pets by either trading for it for you, or giving you a pet of equivalent value to trade for it. One of them might even have a free bunny.

However, the most important rule of them all, do not beg.
Very seldom will anyone help you if you beg.

I would also like to point out that I did not get these bunnies for free. I had to trade a lot of pets to get them which is why I'm not just giving them away.

Sorry to decline yet again, and good luck with getting your bunny. ^^

Fourth trade:
Wanted: yellow/white easter bunny
Offered: nothing.

Seriously, wth? Did cancel message #3 not help them? Did they not get it? Did I use too big of words?

I think newbies should be presented a tutorial the moment they join.

Brilliant! You win awesomecake. :3
Has someone made a suggestion topic for this yet?

OMG, seriously, either accept the trade, edit the trade, or cancel the trade. Don't just leave the trade sitting there!

It doesn't bother me when other people keep trades for long periods of time, I just assume they're busy or haven't checked their trade messages. For instance, I have it set to not pm me when I get a trade request, so if I'm on the forums all day, I don't know about it until I head back to the main site. At which point I may not be in the mood to look through them. I usually accept or decline the obvious ones, but I don't always have enough time to dig through pages of trade pets trying to find something that would be fair. Anything requiring edits will wait until the next day.... or if I'm really busy/forget, a couple days.

Someone offered on my Rare Green Butterfly Wolf one time. with the message "What do you want for this"

So I edited it with like 3/4 pets I wanted/needed and told them: "Please edit if you don't like.." I then proceeded send it back to them.

So when they finally sent it back the took out all the pets added A BUNCH of, so much I cant even begin to count, common/uncommon pets. Ant was like "PLEASE, I want it cause my friends have really rare pets and make fun of me cause I don't got ANY. So please. Please.." (or something like that)

I was like...... ">.> I DON'T care if your friends make fun of you. I WANT those pets..." So I edited out the pets and put ones I wanted back in. Then Resent it..

They came back and added the same amount of common crud.. and was like "I don't wanna trade those..."

So I canceled it with the message "Don't beg for my pets.. you will trade for them" (or something like that)


... I just got ANOTHER extremely BAD TRADE...
AND on top of that they were like...

for goodness sake please take the 4 pets that you want

so i made a ridiculous offer >> cause they didnt read my rules and were rude.

[Minimanta]

Okay this is annoy me!

There's this (infamous) person that have all their pets up for trade!
So I look through their pets and find 5 bunnies I need.

I start a trade and since they don't have a wish/want list or anything I asked what they wanted.
They edit out all bunnies but 2 and want BOTH my spare July 08 rat and August 08 rat. I then edit the trade removing the rats and add the 3 other bunnies again saying the rats are only for my last missing July 08 rat and that they was worth WAY more than 2 bunnies.
They edit again leaving the 2 same bunnies in the trade and want only my spare August 08 rat.

I of course edit again adding all 5 bunnies again and let them get the rat for all of them.

Now don't you think they edit the trade removing 3 bunnies and adding 5 common 09 pets and a few store items for the rat? They did and with this message:
"well, i only have 1 of them so is this ok? i think its pretty much even. ;D"

They of course talk about the bunnies they keep removing.

Of course I cancel this ridiculous unfair trade.


So can you tell me why people say ALL their pets are for trade and then keep removing some of them from trades?
