Trade Rant Thread

[BrightPink]

My Uni was my only dreampet on this site. I got it for free. It is in a locked group.
But I got a trade for him.

He's in a locked group for a reason...

Ugh these darn Store dogs. I'm offering 2 08 rares and people are like "these will turn very rare so its not fair" I keep explaining to these people about how it does NOT work like that...

This trade was fair I guess But, No one ever reads the rules anymore.

No trade message.

Notice rules 2 and 6:
2.) Please send a trade message if you can. (they aren't coppa'd)
6.) Fallen is not for trade. Make a trade for her and she will eat you. (but, apparently they can't read very well.)

D: all the pets in my signiture clearly say NOT for trade. But ive gotten some trades for it, for the new stores pets. Nooooo

Their message, "Yeah, I know it's not a very good trade, but I really need these."
Why bother if you know I'm not interested? :\

People used to always send me PMs complaining about rude cancel messages. Really, I think they were being quite rude by completely ignoring my rules and then 'yelling' at me for cancelling, but I'll admit that I could get a little too angry when someone sent a bad trade.

So lately I've been making an effort to cancel bad trades with calm, polite messages, or at least 'neutral' messages.

Now people are sending me PMs about rude cancel messages more than ever. It doesn't make any sense. D:

[EDIT] I just got this trade. I can see why they might think this is fair, but the non balloon is in a group called "please only offer if you know how much it's worth". I hate it when people ignore group names. >_>

Eep - I've cancelled a lot of trades and have never received a rude PM (once someone actually sent me a PM apologizing profusly and calling themselves an idiot o.O - I had to resend the trade with something I didn't care for but that would make it fair to me for that. :'D ) - I wonder how you go about it exactly? I usually apologize and tell them why it is unfair to me and that I didn't see anything of interest in their trades to make it fair >.>

I used to cancel with things like "READ MY RULES", which really was pretty rude of me, but now I just calmly explain why I cancelled or why it wasn't fair...

When people have every single pet on their wish-list. Then you offer about 60 pets on their wish-list and one pet on yours, and they cancel it saying "I already have those pets."
DUDE. A wish-list is for pets you don't have, pets you want. >_<

Yeah, that is annoying - if you have the pets already, then please remove them from the wishlist.

I agree, But some people have a complete collection and have WL pets as Fodder and Hoards.
