To Many Hypocrites in the Trading World

[Lizbutt]

I think you all get it a bit wrong.
Let's define hypocrisy first: Hypocrisy is the act of persistently pretending to hold beliefs, opinions, virtues, feelings, qualities, or standards that one does not actually hold. Hypocrisy is thus a kind of lie.
(taken from wikipedia)

And if those people say others should give away their pets for much less but don't do it themselves, although they say they believe it should be like that, they are in fact hypocrites.
And I think that's what SnuggleBunny meant.

Hm. However, I think this is a ridiculous cause for a topic ._. I mean, honestly, there are worse things to worry about than whether or not someone is a hypocrite because they won't give away some virtual pets.

I'll give away CS pets if the person can convince me they're not going to just trade them away again, or if I have a particular reason to. However, I'm not going to give away pets right and left. As much as I wish we could all have a thousand zebras/bananas/whatever and live happily in the sunshine, there's the small fact that's unrealistic and I'm not going to give away whatever spares of what I have to complete strangers for no reason. Does this make me a hypocrite? *snorts*

I give free things to nice, selfless people. I don't give free things to people who ask *eyeroll* Because that shows that they're more interested in getting the pet than anything else about you as a member.

And besides, do you think the people with multiple rares randomly found them on the ground? They traded for them or worked for them (sometimes with art, even, which is damn hard), and they deserve them as much as any newbie.

"Or when your a newbie and ask for your one true dream pet, but you are given a lecture about how they were newbies once themselves and had to climb the ladder of the CS ranks and were never given a rare pet before, so why should they give one to you?"

*snorts* I hate to tell you, but being a newbie is not an all-access pass to the world of free things and idiocy. If you're a newbie and ask for your "one true dream pet", most newbies who GET their dream pet immediately decide they have ANOTHER dream pet. And funny how all these dream pets seem to be July 08s *snort*

And I also hate to tell you that when I joined, nobody gave me any rares either. That's not the way the game (or the world) works.

Yah, and? The world is full of worst thing, but I felt I wanted to bring this up, thank you very much. *pouts*

But you have your right to your opinion

Burn, burn, your toast has been burnt, and no amount of scrubbing will remove the black stuff.

This thread has been pwned by Rose.

*scuttleaway*

...What you just said just convinced me that you didn't actually read what I said at all.

Wasn't rude, it was true.

Okay, may I say my opinion without being fought?

First, there ARE hypocrites out there. There ARE some that try to cheat people and claim that they were making a fair trade. HOWEVER there are also people who are just being honest and don't want to give out their pets. I think that it is just human's nature and arguing over something this pointless is a waste of time and energy. No, I am not arguing, I am stating my opinion, then I am leaving. So, goodbye.

This.

I suggest you read my post and try to actually get what I'm saying before arguing with me. I actually don't see a lot of blatant hypocrisy around here, for the simple reason that most people don't run around going "EVERYTHING SHOULD BE FREE OMGAWD" etc. I've never actually seen a "stop the greed" thread.

There is a small complication to your rant, which is that this is a game with a currency and with a rarity scale, therefore, the whole point of the game is hoard and enjoy your pets, not farm them off to other people for no reason.

And, I'd like to know, are you only against hypocrites, the people who say that they want less greed and then refuse to give you their pets? Or are you against ANYONE who refuses to give you their pets? Because a lot of people have been telling me to share and spread the love (damn whiplash D: ) but tell me I'm a greedy idiot when I won't give them my custom/rare/whatever. If I only have one, why would I share it? *snorts* Some people might want everything to be shared equally, but others are just as greedy as the people they rail against.

Im not against anyone who refuses a trade, shesh. Ive not even offer much anyway, so why should I care.

Im talking about the people who say something and do another. Ive even stated that on my first post.

Wow, look at the first post of this topic you made. And every post you made in this topic.
.... I must say that Rose is right.
