Trade Rant Thread

[dozy]

Honestly, I am bored of n00b trades, with chatspeak.

I might ask my 15-year-old-socialite-cousin-always-on-Msn how to speak it, lmao

Their side - NOTHING

My Side -
Tribal August, Skull PPS, Pre-July Advent, PPS Malk, Giraffe Rat, 2 2nd Gen Valentines, Malk Valentine Dog (PPS and Adult), PPS valentine Dog, Nick Sundog, 2 Hunt Bunnies, African Wild Dog, PPS Cocoon, Panda, August Orange/Green 2nd Gen

-.-
The Rat, Panda, and African arn't that bad, but still pretty ridiculous for a no-message trade with nothing on their side.

That's the type of trade where I fear I'll click accept

In response to earlier posts:
I don't care if people have duplicates of rare pets, I just don't like when they have big hoards just for the sake of hoarding them. But that doesn't happen often.

I hate when people don't obey my trade rules…asking for items which I have said aren't up for trade (I have a list of the ones up for trade in my rules), or when they ask for pets in my Special Trades group in exchange for one common pet (it has to be fairly uncommon or two commons). I also don't like it when people try to offer me pets I already have…

I've been back for two days and gotten two requests for free pets. D: I have no idea why people think I'm giving away pets, or even how they find me. I'm a lurker, mostly.

The first was for one of my favorite dogs, an October 08 named Nokidos. They sent it with the message "i see there for free can i have it reply in 13 min if you can thanks so much bye". Not only did they decide my dogs are for free, but they timed me, too!

The second was a trade for my brand new King of Spades wolf and two newborns, with the message "if not newborns please consider king card dog".

I think I was reasonably polite with them, but I get the feeling that this gets old fast.

I get at least five n00bish trades a day.

No, I will not trade my rare September for your malk cat. Yes I said I would be interested in trading for them, but no, not for that.

I will never understand why n00bs will send trades to Mods. Like really, are they going to accept?!

[Madame Butterfly]

1. High visability
2. Mistaken asumption that the mods will be the most willing to give away freebies, most likely because noobs are under either (wrong) impression that the mods get more than their fair share of rare pets because of some imagined payment for being a mod, or because they think mods are there to serve their needs.

Obviously incorrect on this forum but probably picked up from other sites these noobs come from.

I got this trade yesterday... It wasn´t all that unfair, but the user´s behaviour annoyed me.

Their side: Pink balloon dog.

Mine: PPS X red dog, Skull Halloween, PPS advent bobtail, dogtag/collar/bracelet purple advent.

Their message:

Its a very rare 08 August I thought you might accept.

I just cancelled it saying that it wasn´t "very rare" for an August, and that it balloon-less sibling was rarer. Plus I believe it was a bit unfair on my side too. =w=
