Time for me to rant, I rarely do, but this person really has been quite dumb the last 2 days. I mean come on, really??? I just have a hard time believing that the person just doesn't get trading and gifter generosity at all!!! Timeline:
Day one. I get a trade offer. Here it is:
http://www.chickensmoothie.com/trades/v ... 57ihBmGu1gOk, not fair to them, right, offering me so many backgrounds and items for just 1 2013 pet. (Even though they were all free to them and nothing on my wishlist). Knowing it was unfair to them, I let them know as much in the trade message.
I am a very generous newbie gifter and thought I'd give them some pets. I do that quite often when I get a newbie trader, I just add in pets to my side. I edit it back to them since they were new in December of 2013. I advised them they were extremely overpaying for the dog they wanted, and offered to trade for just the plush (1 plush for 1 pet) and offered 5 free pets to them (I had the plush I might add, they didn't offer anything from my wishlist although they do have some pets from it.)
My edited offer to them was generous with 6 pets, one of which was a 2010 uncommon cat:
http://www.chickensmoothie.com/trades/v ... CrKy-YhFFwHere's where it gets really good. Instead of accepting, they edited back and here's their ridiculous counter-offer asking for rares and uncommons from 2009 to present in exchange for... drum roll... a free from the store sheep costume. Yes, I'm telling the truth, they offered a sheep costume (FREE to all) and the originally offered plush for 09 rare, 2 - 10 uncommons, and 3 2013 pets... they even removed the original pet they wanted:
http://www.chickensmoothie.com/trades/v ... wG4yBl6tMQOk. I wrote it off to newbieness on their part, and explained that it was a very unfair trade, that they were asking entirely too much for free items and that they needed to not try to take advantage of another player's generosity or edit free pets. I still felt they were just newbies and wanted them to have the freebies, so here's my new edited offer to them, again giving them some nice pets including 2010 cat from the above trade and another 2010 uncommon rabbit on their wishlist. I explained IN THE TRADE MESSAGE that again, they should not be taking advantage but I'd give them the pets anyhow:
http://www.chickensmoothie.com/trades/v ... UpUEBqlcpAThey finally accepted the trade and my generous 6 pets for 1 free plush... BUT!!! IT WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR THEM!!!Today, they came back with this and so now I have to foe them. They asked for the same rares and uncommons from 09, 10 and on up to present as they did before. Their offer was for 2 unknown bws and 2 plushies:
http://www.chickensmoothie.com/trades/v ... XBOZSPcOWQGranted, I might have traded fairly for the mad scientist butterfly wolves, however since the person just isn't getting it after having explained over and over that they are asking unfairly, I am giving up trying.
Also, for unknown reasons, they are a regular registered user (Not coppa) and can not send trade messages. IDK how that works but it still makes me upset that I guess they thought I wouldn't notice that they tried again for the same pets. Or maybe they have a mental disability or something. Whatever it amounts to, I'm done with it and so is this rant on the trade rant thread!!!
