Actually, that 2nd one's overpay I believe. Considering those are items bought with the tokens from LAST Halloween and can't be gotten any more except through trading. Where this year's tokens can be replaced every 20 minutes.

Hmn, perhaps I was mistaken then.

I sent a person a gift 3 days ago, they've been online, and they haven't accepted. I'm really tempted to cancel, but that would be rude if they were going to accept or didn't see it.

Maybe they're just like me. I tend to let gifts sit there for a while hoping they'll auto cancel because accepting gifts makes me feel uncomfortable. D:

I feel like it's rude if I don't accept, and if I send a gift and that were to happen to me, I wouldn't be too pleased to be honest.

Why don't you accept and then gift it to someone else that deserves it, or send it to an adoption center, or just cancel with a nice message? Not trying to be rude or anything...

I'm sorry, you may think your group names/trade rules in that scripted flowy thin spidery font look pretty. But though it's in English and that's a language I've read and spoken for longer than most of you have been on this Earth, I can't read that damn stuff. In fact, it hurts my eyes. I'm seeing more and more of it. I don't know where it comes from, but I actually get a stabbing pain right in the center of my head from trying to focus on the stupid crap. And I'm sure I can't be alone. I honestly feel for anyone who doesn't speak English as a native language or anybody dyslexic or with any other learning disability that affects their ability to read. Sorry, if you want people to trade with you, please be considerate and choose a font that's flippin' legible!

And, @ The Doctors Wife, I'd feel like I was being really really rude if I canceled a gift someone sent me. I have no idea how I'd put into words why I feel uncomfortable with gifts. Sometimes it's because I fear people are trying to befriend me to get something in return. Sometimes I just don't feel I deserve it... I dunno. It just makes me feel all queasy and I sit and keep going back to the trades and then running away again. D:

^ I agree wholeheartedly, even worse too on my mobile, everything appears as squares, like reading flipping windings v.v

another one was seeing that every other sentence in someone's trade rules was "No Message = No Trade"
The first time I thought "Ok makes sense" until I saw it about three more times then in caps at then again at the bottom and loaded with asterixs.
All I could think of was "alright I get the message!" *hitsbackbutton*

So somebody posted that they had too many pumpkin tokens and were swapping them for other tokens. I sent them a trade for their pumpkin token and put a lollipop token on my side. They cancel saying that they weren't trading their pumpkin tokens. -.-

"Trade?"

No.

My tokens take time to collect. I put hard work into them. I won't trade them for a non-wishlist VC and a dog I already have four of.

Foxy is piii-iised off.

Everyone is demanding tokens. It will only get worse.

Yea, that's the thing. People don't realize how much time and patience it takes to collect tokens. D:

They've accepted other gifts and posted them on the GTT. I'm wondering if it's just me. D:
