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

Weirdest cancel message I've ever gotten. Made a trade wanting an extra 3rd gen for a brown dog from July asking if they were willing to trade. Their cancel:

sorry, but no, wanna join my rp?

Someone sent me a trade asking for 5 of the cow guinea pigs and giving me 5 malk '10 fish. I edited it giving them one (I was feeling nice that day) and some other pets explaining that the guinea pigs are pretty rare as they were only available for one day.
They canceled but this was the message:

those guinea pigs are UNCOMMON soo u cnt get these pets soo haha

Uhh..... huh. Yes, I'm very devastated I'm not getting pets you offered. I think I'll just go console myself in the hoard that has 1,000 of these pets you are offering.

O.O If I was in your position, I would be sooo ticked. xD

Oh there's nothing wrong with this!

I HATE sending trades. This person has been posting on the forums and has a large number of posts AND a complete collection, but I guess that won't stop them from sending idiot trades.


I sent a trade to them offering 29 pets (store pets, hoard pets from their wishlist, and other rare DOGS) for 30 guinea pigs. Seems unfair to me, but I then they edited it and removed only SOME of the rares and on their side, only 9 GUINEA PIGS. -headdesk-

~Sigh.~ People sometimes, I swear.

TL;DR: People who cancel trades without even reading any notices you may add to your trade and calling it 'unfair' make me want to pull my hair out.

I'm sick of people not reading my rules. Pets are in folders for a reason. Just because I have 30 of something does not mean it is dirt cheap. Sometimes I pay offsite currency for pets. I expect the return on this to be equal, not less than what I paid for it.

If it is in the specials folder, have some sense and *gasp* trade it for other specials like it says in the folder! I don't know how to make it any clearer. So many people STILL offer junk uncommons from pets in a folder clearly marked FOR OTHER 2008 PETS ONLY! or 2010 pets for 2009 pets when my folders are clearly marked that I do not trade that way.

I condensed my trade rules but looks like I need to extend them a bit to include the fact I don't want store pets. I guess having $40 of a store pet in my storage locker means I need more and that I'll trade a potentially rare pet that was only up for a single day for one.

Everyone has different trade values. Ever since I ranted about it earlier, people have been FLOODING me with trades of uncommons for my guinea pigs which I'd rather not trade for such "common" pets. Most are in a folder named COLD STORAGE because I believe they will turn rare very quickly, thus I treat them as rares.

I also have this month's commons on my wishlist for hoard pets. Apparently this means they are now equal to pets from half a hear ago *facedesk*

i sent a trade for a fox advent that was in auction, i read through their auction rules, and it said NOTHING about not sending a trade, so i sent one. they cancle with:

it says in my rules NOT to send me trade bids im now locking the group sorry.

i looked back at the auction and they had edited the rules. -.- atleast they said sorry, but just to edit their rules right after i sent the trade got on my nerves.

When people write "I know it's unfair, but.."

Why do you even bother?

Exactly. =/ That's annoying.

I got a trade just now giving me one of the school supply dogs on my wishlist for one of the rainbow stripe uncommon's from '09. Both from '09 but nine months apart, and my dog shared two rare dogs in its litter. Unfair to me. But the thing that was the most annoying was that in my rules I ask for a message to be sent because I don't like trades with no message...

so they wrote "MESSAGE". =/ Thanks... for that...
