Trade Rant Thread [V.33]

[Haru]

WELL, SORRY FOR NOT BEING ONLINE WHEN YOU SENT ME A TRADE SO I COULDN'T ACCEPT IT WITHIN 5 MINUTES TIME SPAN DURING WHICH YOU SENT AND CANCELLED IT.

I just paid an arm and a leg for the Bull Calf. I have a feeling the Starry Calf is going to be worse.

This is not directed towards anyone in particular, but I was simply reminded of it, so I hope that no one takes any major offense.

I find that it is rather annoying when people complain so much about a trade canceled with no message. I'm sorry, but think of it from the other person's point of view. You may have broken a rule, you may have been rude, you may have just simply done something wrong.

Yes, they could write this long message telling you what you did wrong and how you can fix it- but why should they have to waste their time doing that when in most cases (Such as for me), it's because someone was too lazy to follow/ read their rules? If they're so lazy to do things such as not follow rules, then why should we have to write the message? I find that when canceling without a message, most people are quite compelled to figure out what they have done wrong, and will go back to read my rules or the group that they chose from. To which, they might learn they broke a rule, or something of that nature.
I will admit, I cancel without messages. But I do not find it rude, nor inappropriate. I do not have to put a message, I'm not required to do so. If I had to put a message, I would. Just as you find it rude that someone cancels your trade without a message, it is just as equally rude -if not more- when you send a rude message about it. Canceling without a message, is no where near rude, it is just a silent thing. I can find no rudeness in there.
I cancel messages for reasons such as this:
-Broke my rules, which are impossible to miss unless you're trying.
-They were rude
-Their trade was unbelieveably unfair, even in common sense terms. (But if they're extremely new, I will cancel with a message explaining.)
-They broke a swap rule
-I am insanely busy and I don't have time to write this huge long message.

So when people come complaining and yelling at me for canceling without a message, the best I can do is roll my eyes and continue on with my life. I will not argue with these people, nor will I give them the pleasure of a response. If you cannot read my rules or bother to follow them, I cannot be bothered to leave you a message. It is simply the fact of treat others how you wish to be treated.


Yes, of course, I know that not everyone is like this and simply cancel without a message just because. But is that really so bad? You have to admit that it sometimes can be quite childish when someone messages you, ranting and being utterly cruel to you, simply because you didn't leave a message. It is not as bad as people think it is, I think we all need to just relax and take things how they are. You cannot yell at someone, because their opinion on messages are different from yours.

User sends me a trade, with only one pet on my wishlist and some pets I don't like. I cancel, politely telling them I don't really have a fondness for any other pets in their possession, and then they resend this beauty. http://www.chickensmoothie.com/trades/v ... cEGss78SEA

What part of "I don't really like any of your pets" don't you understand? I don't care if it's overpay, no means no!

It's already overpay and they had to send this message

They said:
As fair as it is, you forgot to send a message!!! And I now have a bat soo,...I only wanted one. I am very particular, sorry if I'm sounding like a brat, this trade is morethan fair. But only 4 other foxes designed like this were made. So it's pretty togh to meet my expectations. I hadnto overpay to get her even!!! You can try again,my softy heaft will give In eventually.

So what?
2 2010 uncommon weren't enough, why is it on your wishlist then? It's not even fair too...

[FOUND VERDICT]

how hard can it be to read until my second trade rule?

Do not use the current event pets on my Wishlist to pass the WL-lock for my high demand pets.
Just... no D: ugh

[Helia]

So... You dont get trades? Or just trades breaking your rules?
Wondering why no one seems to read?

Here is a little hint: Stop making your rules so unbelievable small!

I mean, really! Its hard to read, its annoying and its in no way near common sense. Where did this habit come from?
Its the same class of annoying like having 25 rules, all that gifs and rules in storymode with epic length.

And it keeps me from sending trades, im really sick of those tiny letters.

Edit or accept either is fine.

Whaaat?
How about no.
