Trade Rant Thread

[Moonflight]

So... I got a trade offer the other day asking for ten rare and uncommon pets and offering sixteen very common pets, with a few common ones mixed in. Their message?

please please please i really really love the pets i picked!please ill be very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very v\ery very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very veery very very very very very very sad if you dont accept!.....please think about it

So now I've got a hilarious/obnoxious PM conversation going with them:

Seriously? You could at least show some sign that you read my trade rules at all. Which I don't think you did. Anyways, excessive repetition most certainly doesn't help you at all, and is in fact quite annoying. I have trade rules, so I really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really don't care if you're going to be sad because I canceled your offer. Think it through next time, please. I'm in a bad mood today, but I wouldn't accept that offer even if I wasn't...

But i did read ur trade rules.... so i geuss u declined my trade dident u??????
no 1 tat i make a trade wit ever will accept it! no 1 except scenic96
:cry:

Yes. Yes I did.

It helps not to leave silly messages. If someone leaves me an annoying trade message I almost always cancel. Saying that you'll be " very very veryx30 sad" if I don't accept is like begging and frankly quite obnoxious.

(They have now switched the PM icon to the ones with the flames on it)

Gosh!im srry!Man,im already mad enuff 2day!i was just wantin 2 trade but i geuss u dont care!
and b-sides those wer my best pets!and ive only ben on 4 bought 2-3 months!GURRRRRRRR

Correct. I don't care if they're your "best" pets. If I don't like your offer then I don't like it. I even have a note in my trade rules that says I don't care how new you are. I treat all members equally when it comes to trading. Your side of the trade was all common and very common pets, while my side was all uncommon and rare ones. Sound fair to you?

There's no reason to be mad. Believe me.

I'll edit with further PMs as I send/receive them... :P

It continues:

well i dont care anymore and u sould care if people r new.........i dont have and rare pets or any u would like !!!!!! :evil:

Yes. That's why I canceled. If I gave out free stuff to everyone who just joined I would never get the pets I need. You're really getting on my nerves now, if you want free pets go to the adoption section of the forums. Staff members are not vending machines! My god.

Hah, Moonflight! Can't get enough of those beggers.

Yes, that was unfair. I especially hate it when people ask for pets I only have ONE of, and they give me a pet I already have.

poor moonflight! Well if it makes you feel better I am auctioning a skeleton bunny and I hoard ravenpaws and boar dogs....n00b trade alert! I have got TONS of trades for 1-2 ravenpaws for the skeleton bunny! Then I edit the bunny out and ask them to edit and they say never mind!! What the Heck? It makes me so mad!

[Cirque]

poor Moonflight, that person was more than irritating it's so annoying when new members think they should get pets for free just because they're new, i didn't get special treatment when i was new and nobody else should. every member should be treated equally.

[Seasonal]

Newbies seem to think that people with the "cool-colored usernames" give out pets for free. Moonflight, or any other staff member, for that matter, is just a normal person with some extra powers, so what makes it different than me giving out all my rare pets for commons? I think newbies should be presented a tutorial the moment they join.
