Trade Rant Thread :) - Please Lock. New Thread !

[Kaya]

I guess that they should, but don't most people not even read them?

My not for trade pets are all locked. 100% of my complaints stem from people who offer 2010 commons/uncommons and expect to get my 2008 rare trades in exchange, despite the fact that my trade rules specifically state that this is unacceptable and will be summarily cancelled. My 09 winged wood is the worst cause of offense.. you wouldn't believe the things people offer me for that dog. It is painful. I'm starting to not like the dog anymore because of them.

Now, if Tess would just let me banhammer everyone who sends me ridiculous trades, then we'd have some very nice Pound days... and maybe people would start reading trade rules and respecting them.

I don't really get horrible trades for my unlocked wish list pets group. It's unlocked for wish list pets only, but there are some rares I'm wanting (and too lazy to wish list) so I'll probably unlock it fully. THAT'S when I'll expect the rule breakers xD I predict my Gray Dragon, Red Rose, and Black Advent will be the main wants =P

XD i have the urge to unlock my PPS group, just to see how many people want them.

lol, when I deleted my "famous pets" group and put them in unlocked groups, I got a dozen trades for them...but none of them were bad.

I just remembered the best trade i ever gotten. someone asked for my green maus dog and some random item for the gray sheepdog PPS. I asked them if they wanted more for it, so they asked for the new collars--THATS IT. im going to love them forever!! <33

oh, and heres something that just occurred to me. I get unfair trades from newbies (unfair to them, that is ) so i just accept without feeling bad for one reason. They offered what they belived was fair--who am I to tell them otherwise?? If i do, theyre going to ask for a billion more pets, so why go through the hassle?

EDIT: I cant complain about people not reading my rules, mostly because I rarely get trades where someone broke them. XD can someone check my rules and see how easy i made it?? I made it VERY straight-foward. The only problem im having is how people think im going to give them my uncommon adopt pets for their common pets...im not trading them for my personal collection, because some people deserves those pets more than the nest person.

Out of curiosity though, what would you think if someone had of done that to you when you were new?

[Turnabout]

So, it's not about trades, but whatever.

Auctions. Nothing wrong with claiming the right to end it whenever, but has anyone stopped to think about the reasons behind this? Nothing wrong with it if something comes up or someone sends you an autowin trade. But pulling the auction because you don't like any of the offers? That's the point of an auction! To offer as little as possible and still beat out the other people! You are basically saying, "Give me at least this much, or you have no hope of getting it at all."

Someone's been stalling on an auction I'm entered in, I'm worried this might be how it ends.

I had some very bad trades that people convinced me into thinking it was fair...lets leave it at that. I dont care much now, but i think just about everyone has been ripped off as a newbie.

You DO have a great point, though.

I was ripped off a lot. Some yelled at me that I would get foed, even though it was my first week here...

No wayyy...thats just, horrible. noone ever threatened to foe me.

I was mostly ripped off by my best friend XD but alot of people still think they can ninja me.

[Tif + Jo]

Guys. As a reminder looking through some of the posts here, that if for any reason someone is being unreasonable with their answer (Such as 'yelling' or 'omg U R STUPID. FOE FOE FOE') that is a reportable offense. =/ (Edit: Eek. Apparently, it uses the CS's default smiley if I did it normally <<;)

It's fine to crack jokes every once and awhile, but making someone feel belittled or 'stupid', as I'll crudely put it, is not good at all. Keep the tension down and lets just try to be a little nicer, mmk?
