Trade Rant Thread

[Kecko]

I don't like two things about this. She's talking Trash about you and your nice and help like everyone on here! And the fact that to me anyway shes making Americans a bad name

You know, I actually find it a little strange how many people on this site apparently hate me...?
At least according to this. I didn't know that knowing rarities got you this many enemies...

What was your original PM to them, if yuo don't mind my asking?

>.< That must be so annoying. But still, there are people over 18 that still act like total n00bs out there. And there are descent people under the age of 18 out there too.

My original PM to them was this:

Did you seriously think I was going to trade you my nontag for almost nothing?

Stop feeling sorry for yourself and get working on your trading fodder. That is what everyone
who owns VRs has done.
Me included.

And I'm sure there are decent people under 18, but I'm starting to feel like it isn't
worth it to take the chance. *sigh* Almost every PM - sans those from the few friends
I have on this site - I get these days, are from people who are angry at me for canceling
a trade they sent.

A trade that broke my rules, or was unfair, or their message was demanding I accept
or etc.

Jeesh diabolic, I probably would have flipped on that person if they started being rude to me like that. I can't stand when people say things like oh well then fine my cat hates you too. I've had people pull the oh it looks like my dog or cat that died so you need to give it to me. So pathetic.

I tried very hard not to flip. I just... I don't know, I find it a little
ridiculous when people start to insult me over the internet over things they
have no idea about.

And yeah I've had people pull that "OMG MY PET DIED" thing on me before. It is
super aggravating.

i would report them for being rude + under the age of 13 and not be Coppa'd

It's only if you live in the US they have the COPPA law. It's not illegal here in the uk ^o^

Huh... I was being too stressed and annoyed to even notice that. But I'm pretty
sure they were trying to tell me they are older than a teen, since they were trying
to tell me that I am the brat... So they must just have typod. Or slipped.

Their just mad becuase they don't know raritys like you!

Sharubii: Agreed! I get PMs fairly often for pets in locked groups

I'd have no problem if the person PM'd me, since in my rules I said "If you want a pet from a non-trade group, please PM me first": but they just sent a trade suggestion asking me to unlock a group. It's aggravating, since it's both a little rude and shows that the person didn't read my rules. :/

Lawl, no-one hates you Diabolic! xO I certainly don't. xD. You're known for being great at rarities, so you're generally a reliable source for me when I post that occasional trade in the 'is this a fair trade' thread. x3

Yeah locking groups does nothing. People will still send you increasingly annoying PM's begging for pets in those locked groups. D: And you can't even shut them up by foe'ing them. They can still PM you for some reason. All you can do is shut off your PM's. But then people you might actually WANT to talk to can't PM you either.

@ Diabolic I agree with Kecko. Nobody worthwhile hates you anyway. The ones that do are more than likely jealous haters and will also not like anybody else who's been around a while, can't be conned or begged into giving their spoiled selves what they want just because they whine and beg, and has a decent collection to be envious of due to hard work and tons of trading, etc. *hugs*

Yeah, everyone says "Lock the Groups and then you'll have no problem" you still do!

Hm. Perhaps a "block from PMs" suggestion is in order?
That feature would make tons of people's lives easier.

You can easily set up a rule that foes cannot PM you.

I don't post here often but this kind of annoyed me to the point of wanting to just literally go *headdek*

In the past I have done Rares for Spares auctions and trades, and they've always been wildly successfull. I've gotten 120 - 100 Very Common - Uncommon pets for a Grinner, since you know, they're mostly ANY Very Common pets, and about 20 uncommons And that's happened at least 3 different times, through posted auctions and trades with very successfull trading memers. So I decided to offer a few members who I either knew myself, or whose names I recognized, a chance at some wishies for spares. I wasn't looking for dozens of Advents; mainly I want the pets from last month, and some commons that I'm lacking or that I think are popular.

I offer one member whose name I recognize from the forums a Blue Grinner and ask if they want to do a quantity trade for Very Commons and Uncommons (granted, I messed up their name since I was using a copied message to keep from typing...yes, I realize, I'm typing now). They said yes, and to choose 6 pets. I kind of blinked and responded that I was thinking closer to 80, since that's what I had gotten...pretty much a lie since I'd accept less if I could get the trade done quickly. I send it back asking if they could do closer to that, seeing as how they have almost 600 very common - uncommon pets for trade.

They cancel, saying that not even their Black Advent or their Coon Tail cost them that much I'm sorry, but they know their rarities and their outright lying just pissed me off. I need to restrict myself to sending these trades to *only* members that I know aren't insane with their rarities, and are tolerable to trade with.

Wow, I hate when people attack you. I was just curious and asked one time if a UR Zebra was worth a UR Dog, just to see cause I was bored. Guess what happened? I got like 20 trades in the next 10 minutes with messages like "I can't find the UR Zebra, must be in a locked group but I can offer these" I was tempted to just flat out accept the trades ( cause they weren't suggestion but actual trades with my side blank ) But I didn't and finally just canceled all the trades with messages similar too "i just asked cause I was curious and bored, please don't send the trade again or I will accept it"

I'm just gonna get this out of my system really quick.

Does anyone grant wishes at the Wishing Well?
Well, I do, and I even grant rares, and usually people are really nice about it.
But you know what I hate? When people whine on there about how it's their 'dream pet', and you know what, I usually give it to them, even if it's a rare (if I have it, of course).
Okay, so let's say I give someone their 'dream pet'. They accept, very thankful, blahblahblah.
Not TEN. MINUTES. after the fact, they're on the WW again, looking for another pet.
What was wrong with the one I gave you? You got a pet you wanted, why don't you work for the rest?
Why are you acting like you are entitled to these pets, so you'll go back and ask for as many as you want?
And then I see some people who don't even ask for their 'dream pet', they just say ANY PET ON THEIR WISHLIST, which, essentially, means that they just want pets. They don't care what kind, they're just too lazy to go and trade.

This has just been bugging me for SO long.
Had to get it off my chest >>;
