Let's take a look at my trading week, shall we?
I'm not going to include art payments or gifts I sent in these calculations. For total number of trades, a trade being edited will only count as one trade, no matter how many times it was edited.

Total Number of Trades: 101
Number of Successful Trades: 10
Number of Canceled Trades: 91
Number of Successful Trades Sent By Me: 3
Number of Successful Trades Sent To Me: 7

Yeah.

I'm reeeally done with trading right now.

From this crap.
To this. Asking for swaps of a pet I already have and ignoring my rules.
Even going so far as to send me things like this.

I'm getting to the breaking point.

If it weren't for my Raven Dog hoard and getting gifts for friends; I would probably just give up on trading entirely.


If people can't bother themselves to read my really short and easy to follow rules, then please just don't send me a trade.

Seriously. The amount of stress I get caused over a game is ridiculous. I want to have fun, I want to enjoy trading, getting cool new pets and all, but all it does is upset me when nobody listens to what I'm saying.

I just don't understand. I've redone my rules a hundred times over to make them easy to understand. I've renamed every singles rare and up pet I have with exactly what I want for it. All my rares list is named with it's place on the list. Where I can fit it, I restate what I want for the pet.

I've used every resource I have to talk to people and nobody is willing to listen.

What am I doing wrong?

Getting reaaally sick of a certain player. They are interested in one pet of mine and sent me a one sided suggestion for it (against my rules but i let it slide), but they simply refuse to edit, leaving everything to me. Seriously, how lazy can you be? Especially when YOU are the one who initiated the trade, and who wants my pet. I'm not really interested in any of your pets, but i'm giving YOU the chance to offer. If are really interested in my pet, please at least try to edit and show that you care, rather than being like 'no i'm not going to edit lol you edit lol' to all my requests at the other player editing. Even when I do edit, they're like 'no thanks lol' and send the trade back as a suggestion, not even trying to take off the pets that player didn't want to trade. Seriously, trading is a 2 way thing, both of us have to contribute, not just one person doing everything. Whenever i suggest pets, you just deny my suggestions and tell me to try again. WHY DON'T YOU TRY EDITING, IF YOU'RE SUCH AN 'EXPERT' AT TRADING?!? I'm sick of this crap, players expecting everyone else to do editing, because they're too lazy to lift a finger and click the mouse a couple times. I cancelled the trade and now they keep PMing me about it. Instant foe :)

I am literally done with trading altogether. -_-

When looking just to trade for missing outcomes and you find a group is wishlist locked, yeah you might have over 20 pages of wishlist but you've practically added everything from 2008/2009 and the only "recent" wishlist I have of yours is an uncommon dog from 2010...
*frustratedly hits backspace*

[geobellez]

I've lost count of how many trades I've sent for this Shima Longtail. All been cancelled.I've entered four giveaways.Three out of four I've lost,and the fourth one is still going.*sigh*I'm never going to get that dog without a list pet (which I don't have),am I?

[♠|Kobayashi Amaya|♠]

Rgh i just hate it when someone says free pets, you send a trade, then you wait for over a month, then they say they're not doing it anymore. Some of them, I understand. But this has happened to me like at least ten times. -_-

[Avidex]

i think i have sent everyone on the whole of chicken smoothie who owns a raven dog a trade, yes i dont have a lot, and no i dont have hundreds of list pets like everyone else but i try my best by offering above and over what is fair. im probably just going to give up soon and go find another dreamie *sigh* i just hate the feeling of being let down each time i get a cancelled trade message

[*~Sharni~*]

Wat

Yes, I buy things for C$. But I -clearly- state that I am only looking for wishlist pets and wishlist items.
I also have a price list of what I would be willing to pay.

This pet was not and never has been on my wishlist.
Even if it was, my price list shows I would only give 2C$ for it.
30C$ is the price I would pay for a late 2009 rare wishlist pet (or an item/item set worth a late 09 rare)

Not a 2012 uncommon.
And it is as if you know this is unfair because all your message consisted of is 'plz plz'
Mwhhh >.<

[miitake]

What? I don't know why they think I'd want to trade for those none wishlist pets, that I already have copies of in my trade group... Also, there's the fact that the lioness is in a special group that I'll only trade for other lions or malk pets. Why is it so hard for people to understand this? I keep getting trades like this over and over again.

;-; This was so sad for me. I could really use a hug. I think I'm gonna cry.

Also, you can't have pets that are "valued as an advent list pet" no, No, NO! If it's not on the list, it's not VALUED as a list pet! A shima longtail is NOT worth a list pet! An August PPS is NOT worth a list pet! If you get one for them, fine! Do NOT say they are worth it though! They really are not! Greedy people. ;-; I'll never get a Shima longtail. Just wanna complete my Staff Pets collection.
