[{Marie.}]

Why are Raven Dogs such bad trade magnets ;n;

[Whippet.]

It's been a week. You have been online, posting and bumping your threads. Please just answer my trade.
ono I really dislike pm'ing people about possible missed trades, so i'll just continue the waiting game

[wayward will]

People. Stop being so high and mighty about your list pets >.<

Your bottom tier advent is only worth 3-5 '09 rares, so my trades are not unfair!

Getting on the list is such a pain ;~;

[leslie knope]

cancelled basically as son as I sent it. fine, you don't want my overpay? your loss.

(Just ignore me as a self-rant and get this off my chest...)

I really need a trading goal.
Something more specific than a full collection, because you know, that isn't happening any time soon.
I kinda feel tempted to try and trade my raven up to a sunback somehow.
But, you know, that wouldn't be happening either, and I have this nagging feeling I'd just regret ending up trading away a pet I'll probably have a hell of a time ever trying to get my hands on again.
I think I'm just stuck.
My fodder will get me nowhere, it's not even remotely fair for stuff on my wishlist.
Trading it up is such a slow and often painful process.
There are plenty of friendly users, that are willing to accept, or at the very least politely cancel attempted trade-ups, but then there's always those that just let a trade rot or cancel without a message that just make it frustrating all over again.
And then there's the awesome people that gift you.
Which, don't get me wrong, is truly amazing and I appreciate them taking the time to make an effort just to give someone else something for free... but that shouldn't be what I depend on to work on my collection. (Not to mention it makes me feel bad for not having any decent gifting fodder as well.)
But unless I want to just mindlessly pump money into the game, I can't work on my collection, and apart from being no fun, that's also downright unrealistic.
I feel really stuck, and I feel like my options are to just slowly burn out on it, or try drastic changes, throwing all my pets up for trade-ups, and ending up regretting trading away pets I don't have doubles of.
Sometimes I just really wish I had any talent as an artist, or had any way of earning pets properly...

looking for this dog everywhere. they canceled with: Not very fair to me. Sorry.

1.) the dog i traded is (pretty much) an '11 RARE. i had a '13 rare with two commons from '11 and '12. how is that unfair?

2.) They had two of this dog. i might understand if they had one but they didn't and i just cant see how thats unfair ._.

back to looking for this dumb dog again.

[guacam0le]

Why can't I just get a trade with the UR flower? I've been looking for them, and no one accepts. I just want to trade Up! ugh sigh.

[Grace & Ria]

Haha, when you try and work out a trade with someone,
and you offer a fair trade, if not overpay, and they cancel
saying they have better offers. Haha, no you don't. You're
trying to get more out of me and I can tell by your message.


Also when people message you its their birthday..
thats great and all but what's the point, besides trying to
get free gifts? Think again.

[tawnypelt3]

I am in a bad mood, so I shouldn't be ranting. But I don't care. I will just keep it simple.


"I only want wishlist." Then why are your pets not wishlist-locked? Why don't you say that in your rules?

"I still want to keep one, you know." No, actually, I don't know. Your rules say nothing about it.

Someone said "hey, that's unfair to me," then went on to send me another trade saying "I don't know if it's fair." Logic right there.

Why send me trades for my rares when you have no rares?

Wishlist-locked, got around it.
Never.
If you don't see any List pets in my trade groups, then obviously I can't afford this pet.

The one that really annoyed me:

Tier swap? Thank you ^^ I really want to gift it to my fiancée :3

Cancelled exactly 4 minutes later with:

This is her fiancée: she worked really hard for this pet, and I don't want her to give up one of her dreamies. Sorry deary

I don't care about your lovey dovey crap. You offered me a trade, and I would have accepted. I would have been glad to. Instead, people just decided to waste my time.

Bottom line: You don't mess with other people's trades.


Why is asking for a few extras of these so much to ask for.
