Trade Rant Thread

Nah it's alright shadowe, no worries

Odin, are you talking about the user or me?

Lunar, thanks for the constrictive criticism. I was a bit unsure about that part, but it is my own opinion about hoarding. I try to keep it down whilst in the forums to avoid getting my head bitten off. XD

What I meant was, I have sent trades before and the people have sent message that could be considered not nice, or harsh. Doesn't mean they are all jerks. They could be just having an off day.
Like, just because someone might respond harshly in a cancel, doesn't mean they are a bad person. It could just mean they are having a bad day or are tired of crappy trades on that pet.
(And I really didn't mean to offend you, if I might have. I've been sick since Saturday, had sinus trouble and my brain still isn't back to 100% )

I wasn't implying that they were a mean person at all, at least I hope I didn't sound like I was. I was just saying that what they sent at that moment in time wasn't very pleasant at all. For me at least. Crappy trades all around then huh?
It's winter, it's a seasonal hazard to get I'll during this season XD

My opinion.. they should have said something in their message initially so that you understood their goal with the offer. Yes, you were a little harsh.. they weren't insulting to you, they just said nothing when they should have said something. Their response was snarky, but sort of understandable imo.

I always stick to the adage about having nothing nice to say... I just say nothing at all if a trade irritates me.. just cancel it and move on. That way, if there is any aggression, it is one-sided and I have the high ground should I feel the urge to report.

As to collections, etc.. well. I have zero desire to have a complete collection. Some pets don't appeal to me, and I will never care to acquire them. Others I like enough to have more than one of. My method isn't your method, but that doesn't make it wrong, any more than it makes a desire for a complete collection wrong. Everyone plays differently, and that's fine imo.

Don't feel bad, though, Ollie. You were having a rough day and you were grumpy, and that happens to us all. Good luck on your auction!

Thanks Kaya Good rule to stick to there, 'if you havent got anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all'.
Collections is always a sensitive subject here. I personally believe that having a complete collection would be a primary goal, hoarding being a secondary. I don't really like hoarding that much, since I did start a hoard but then a month later I changed my mind.
Thanks for the luck, I hope that I won't receive any more trades for the galaxy, though I undoubtedly will XD

Well I found this to be anoying. So a person sends me a trade asking me to edit:
Origonal asked me what do I want for the dog
First Edit change it to this(yes I know its unfair to me but I was going to let it slide)

Then they completely change it without a mesange and it was open ended when the origonal trade was a suggestion.
Final Time no edit, blank message, without telling me about why they changed it

I just found it really anoying.

Gawd, no random foeing. That is one of my serious peeves. e_e;

I do agree that awkward, unexplained morphing of a perfect trade is rather irritating and confusing. Why is it there? What does it want from us?

I have never foed anyone and I don't plan on doing that. But yeah it did kind of anoy that I was letting them get away with a nice deal only to completely discard it and try to trick me into accepting that trade.
