Trade Rant Thread

[ika;]

What is the matter with people!?!

I just got two absolutely ridiculous trades:

They wanted: My halloween fire horse
They gave: A common horse
Message: Is this Ok?

They wanted: My halloween fire horse
They gave: A Nick Horse
Message: I want to trad

They could at least SPELL properly!!!

[Drucilla]

ok, I just added somebody to my foes list want to know why?

First they sent me a trade asking for my July 08 Sun dog for 2 newborn puppies. THE SUN DOG IS IN A LOCKED GROUP THOUGH!!!

Ugh, but they are new, and I thought I'd give them the benefit of the doubt. Of course, there is no freaking way I would accept that trade (or ever trade that dog anyways for anything) so I removed her and left my side blank with this comment:
"no I am sorry but that dog is very rare and worth MUCH more than newborns. She is also not for trade ever. But if you would like, I am collecting newborns and would give you some common pets from my trades for these two"

They (and I have no idea how) edited it again to include my precious July 08 Sun from my locked group and said
: PLEASE! I really want her!

I edited her out and exlained again. Rinse and repeat she did this 5 times!

She is now a FOE. and I am very annoyed.

If they manually enter the pets number, trade settings don't matter.

I always double-check which groups my pets are in before accepting.

Is that really possible?!

Man if newbies knew that >< There should be some way to totally disable trade offers then...

[T. Faulkner]

Frag, she's right. o____o; I just tried it with that same Sunback of Drucilla's- didn't actually send the trade, of course, just entered in the number- and it works, just as if the pet wasn't in a locked group.

So that's how that one idiot added my two Pound Pets from my locked group to a trade...

Is there any way to fix that? To make the pet itself locked, so that people can't send trades on it no matter what? I realize there isn't now, but how hard do you think it would be for the mod's to rig one?

I hate when newbies DON'T have trading groups, because you pick a common or something and their like "NO! HAVE THIS!" and then they want a rare pet and give you a very common one >.<

I just got three trades from the same person, all asking for high-value pets and offering things like caterpillars from this month and newborns from this month as well.
The worst one is this: my Drink Me dog and an advent offering two current second gens and a ferret newborn, with this message: "please can i have this pet. cancel not -edit thanks"
Annoying how they think that ordering me not to cancel will get them anywhere.

If I was you, I would send a message back with, "cancel yes - not edit. Thanks"

How frustrating. To me, a pet in a locked group should be.. well, locked! lol. Maybe Nick will be able to fix the problem when he gets back from Japan

For now though, I guess we'll all just have to be super careful with our trades...

[IORG101]

I can't remember when or which thread, but Nick said it was done so we could trade people without having to unlock our groups on either side.

I'd like to see a way to lock it out too, but it's not too high on my list cause I don't get many random trades thanks to staying invisible on the forums.
