Trade Rant Thread

[Rissa]

... looking at both of the accidental trades you two are upset about. They came from the SAME person. (just looking at the pets in your inventory) Hmm.. that is.. interesting to say the least? Perhaps a mod is needed to help you guys here. I am so sorry about the trouble... I really do hate when that kind of thing happens... good luck!!!!!!!!!!

Very very interesting... *sigh* Is it that hard to play honestly?
I hope it works out for you too AlbertaBound! It sucks
Thanks for the support!

I *really* hate it when someone gets mad at YOU when they started a ridiculous trade to begin with. I got this one today:

Their side: 3 current Warrior Cats
My side: about 30 various 2008 September, October, November pets.
Message said something like this: I know this is unfair but you have sooo many of these. I can get lots more warrior cats so I hope we can make a deal!

-.-

What is it in these people's brains that sees "Warrior Cats" on my want list and Extra older dogs in my trade groups and think the connection is magically there? I've now disabled nearly all my trade groups now because I'm sick of getting offers like this. It's like... OMG THEY HAZ RAREZ AND ONLY WANT CATZ!! I CAN HAS TRADSSS!!!!11!!1!! And if you KNOW the trade is unfair, then WHY make it?

So to finish the story... I decided that yes, I do have many novembers and octobers, but they have nothing I would want except for newborns. So I edit the trade and kindly leave many pets in (even a September) and ask for several of their newborns. And no, I fully admit their newborns were not in a trade group, and that is something I normally do not do. However, I was so frustrated at getting such a ridiculous trade, I felt like sending a trade back for whatever the heck I wanted.

She promptly canceled the trade with this message:

NO WAY! sorry but i dont need your pets i was just asking. you can keep them. im keeping ALL my newborns.

I just LOVE how I turned into the bad guy here.

[Rissa]

*face palm* Yeah, that's pretty frustrating!

It's that whole "think first, then do" - would *you* accept that trade? No? Don't send it! Problem solved! XD

And the whole "quantity over quality" thing gets me too...

[acciobadger]

Some newbie was a idiot to give me this trade!!!!!


Their side: Nothing
My side:All of the new dogs, the new warrior cats, Cloudstar and Redtail, all the new horses.
Message: hai, cn i hve these? i mean i would take care of them like they were my pets. even tho they would be. lol

Cancel Message: 1. I said do not tlk like dis, 2.u can't have these because they are not spares. 3 LOOOK INTO MY RULES!! You can't take care of them they are pixels on a screem!!!!!!!!!! I am not being mean I'm just a little annoyed!
End of message.-
Even my trade rules say

Trade rules
1. Don't send me messages saying 'Can I have this one for nothing?' The answar is going to be no.
2.Rare pets? Do not ask for them.
3. If you want the dark grey horse called Mary, NO! I will not trade her and if you clog me with messages and rude messages, I will report you to a mod and foe you.
4. Do not shower me with "Your pet is really nice, I have a reaally rare one!" I know it's not rare, I have to look at it first.
5. I do not speak Internet, I speak English so not "yur pt iz relly nce cn i hve it" I speak ENGLISH "Your pet is realy nice can I have it?"
6. You need to have at least ONE thing for trading.
7. DON'T GIVE ME MESSAGES WITH "I'll take good care of them' THEY ARE PIXELS MADE BY CHICKEN SMOOTHIE YOU CAN'T TAKE CARE OF THEM!!

That isn't the end of my trade rules I have more, but I don't want to full it up with my trade rules.

I got a trade asking for several of my trades, but what got me was the message:

Plz plz plz! I promise I'll love them and feed them and take good care of them. You can trust me. Please?

Uh... I don't do begging. It's even in my rules. They're pixels! Not living, breathing animals!

[Enbizaka]

Yeah I know! Why do you need to take careof them?

[Luke Skywalker]

I always read this trades just to laugh mentally at the newbs who sent them. o_o I have never had an unfair trade sent to me, however, there was one I was iffy about. Someone sent me a.. brown pps thingie with stripes along with their common fox dog thing in return for my pink heart Valentines day pps.. I technically got the Valentines PPS for free from my friend, so I assumed this was karma. I wasn't really looking for the brown pps.. whatchamacallit... but it was cute. o.o I know the Vday pet is fairly rare and most people only had the swirly.. pink... stuff... but this person wasn't a chatspeaker and they were very polite I suppose. c: Besides, I hate Valentines Day.. eh. xD

[Takora Drakan]

I wonder when people stop sending me trades with offering the black cat from the adptions page with messages like this "I saw tis is on ur wishlist so THIS IS FIAR!" Seriously, I want the christmas cat, not the one on the adoption page, *facepalm* Maybe I should put a big picture of it on my trade thread and write with big fat red letters that this is the christmas and not the commong black cat... ugh

[Pop]

Aww, I like to say I 'take care of them' but not because I'm asking for a pet.
For example, once someone gave me a dog and I thanked them & said I would take good care of him.
It's just cute. :)

AND... /begins rant
I HATE IT. Every time I post in a thread, I log on the next day and I have a few trades begging for pets from people talking in leet/chat speak. And I hate it if they don't say please when they ask or thank-you when I give them the pet! It's common courtesy people!
ANYHOW, yesterday I got a trade from someone who wanted a fair few of my pets & items, accompanied by a message along the lines of
'I know it's a lot but I really like them!' (except with bad grammar)
They didn't even offer me anything in return.
*shakes fist* ARGH.
And today I got two annoying trades too. BLEH.
/end rant

*sigh
It's all out now. :)

[Rainbow Dash]

Okay, word of advice. If you don't know anything about rarity, don't attempt to trade with probably the most irate trader on CS.

Their side: Rainbow draft horse
My side: Green April Fool's Cat
Message: Something along the lines of "i dont kno much about rairty but plz edit"

One, there's a thread where you can ask.
Two, I'm not wasting my time on someone so lazy. Do the research and come back later!

And no, I won't look it up for you because that's not my job.

When I first joined someone gave me a TON of pets including German Shepherds and almost the complete set of Dalmations and many other things. The next month I was lucky enough to get 2 wolf shima PPS pups someone sent me this trade a few days later: I thought is was super fair because I wanted the Grey 2nd Gen PPS but now reading this and the raity on the Shima compared to the rarity of the second gen.... I realized..... I got scammed! I really am sad now.........
