I get this suggestion. They say, "Add anything else you want"

I look at their pets.

Nope, just someone accepting a gift.

What makes you think you get this free?

*stamps foot* This is my only trading problem and now I'm locking all my groups.
STOP ASKING FOR FREAKIN' FREE PETS! I'M NOT GIVING ANY TO PEOPLE THAT ASK!/endcapsabuse

Yeah, but I don't care. I just want them to know that they did something unacceptable. If it's immature and/or petty, I don't care at all.

That's still no reason to overreact over a trade begging for free pets. Just cancel and move on. That's what I do and only a small majority of people actually contact me afterwards.

I don't usually have a problem with begging trades, but just the fact that they sent the same begging trade 12 times is what gets me. It's not one of those times where you hit the button multiple times and it accidentally sends it more than once, either; the ties are not the same. Well, I don't know if that can happen with different times.... Still. I'd just like to make an impression. Their foolishness matters too much to me for me to just ignore. Thanks for your input, though.

Do you actually know they meant to send it 12 times?

I have heard of people posting that due to some glitch of their browser a trade was sent multiple times.

And I think Consulting Otaku is right. Cancel the trades and move on.

Besides being rude upon a bad trade is against the rules:

If you cancel a bad trade with a nasty message, you could get in trouble. So don't do it. If someone sends you a nasty message, you can report it, don't retaliate.

That quote is from the first post on this thread.

No message ready to accept.
My first thought:
'Do I know you? and I mean I like giving stuff out but geeze!'

WHy must white februarys be treated like advents? I am overpaying as best I can, even adding 20cs$ worth of store items and people want my advents DX Sure I will offer a husky for a few but for one? PEOPLE BEING PRETTY, OLD OR RARE DOESN'T MEAN THEY ARE WORTH AN ARM, A LEG AND A TORSO.

[LittleAlex]

Someone just sent me a trade asking for a pet saying "Trick or treat" .-.


Wut? My lights are off and that's not how you play ._.

When I browse peoples' trade groups, I read the names of the pets, just out of pure curiosity.
I have a set of the royal dogs from the medieval faire, they are all named "Will go only as a set".
But I keep getting trades asking for the king dog alone...
