Here we go -.-

I see Trades (1 new) and open up my trading center to see:

[username] will give 113 pets and 2 C$ for your one pet.

Yeah...

Is it impossible for people to offer boosters?
No bids on my White Dragon have a booster.
None. Zip. Zero.

And I know they're worth the same according to the list, but I don't care about your cake dog.
Arrrrregh.

Self rant;;
When people offer a giant overtrade for a pet that you really like, and you feel bad canceling so you leave it to rot...
For a long...
Long...
Time...
In sorry ;c

It bites how value-obsessed people get these days.
What's so wrong about accepting a trade just because you like what's being offered regardless of whether or not it's fair - or if someone else would pay more? People act like they can't accept a trade because it isn't fair and then they're mad because they really wanted those pets? Just accept then. It doesn't always have to be perfectly fair. If you'd be happier with the other side then why sit on more valuable pet(s) you don't want as much?

Don't get me wrong - I love helping with trade fairness and giving people advice on whether or not to accept. I just think it's become so overwhelmingly "Is this fair?" that no one can ever get anywhere anymore.

What's the point of rules if nobody follows them?
I. Have. Three.
Like my name.
Surprising? No.

They are:
No suggestions.
A message, please.
& No free pets.

I even MADE THEM SIZE 150.

I'm just going to leave rule breaking trades to rot -_-

The amount of red in my inbox....
*Recieves unfair trade either begging for pets or just unfair*
*Edits to make it fair*
*Other user cancels*
Or
*Attempts to trade for roses*
*Fails*

Please stop offering me 2010 UCs/Rares for my spare PPS lion. I'm not taking your overpay. I just want to fairly swap it for the dark red lion from its litter. Not make people give me insane overpay.

auuggh

I just saw someone put an april 2009 rare in their C$ shop for 70 C$. 70. You can get a 6th tier advent list pet for that price...!

C$ shops scare me *shudder*

Rule two in my trade thread means no unfair trades. No less-than-rares for rares. And there is NO WAY I'm going to take a bunch of recent rats (one or two being a missed outcome) for my older store pets. >_<
