Oh what the hell, I'll open an Arts for Pets thread one day.






Am I doing this right under the rules?

Some of us started hoarding them before they were all that popular. When they get popular and harder to get, we might not want to trade them away, because of the fact that they're so hard to get, thus harder to reach any goal we set for ourselves.
I started hoarding Coontails in December (not sure when Sorrel started), and they've started getting harder and harder to get. In each auction, it seems like more and more tough competition joins us.
I can see the point in your rant, however, I would be slightly annoyed as well, but for a different reason. I don't like it when people hoard just because it's 'popular'. My Coontail hoard wasn't a spur of the moment thing, I originally planned to trade them, but the colors reminded me of my dogs (not the striped tail, just the brown xD) and they were unique in their slightly faded colors. They eventually grew on me and I decided I would dedicate myself to my hoard. My only dream on here is to finish it ^^

That's really the ones that bother me - the ones that started hoarding pets that were already classified as hard to get uncommon, or worse rares, when they first came out. For the people that are collecting easier uncommons and commons of the month that it was released it's okay. However, pets will never meet everyone's demands so sometimes it can be bothersome where you see someone that has a lot and other just wants one and actually may be able to only if someone was offering.

But what the heck, that's CS for ya.

Hi! You can call me either Fluffy or Omega! I'm quite awkward when it comes to social interactions and my social anxiety has only been getting worse so most the time I'm likely paranoid I'm doing something wrong! In the case I do, do something wrong please just kindly inform me.

I am mostly just here on cs for simas but sometimes I'll feel like designing and make other designs!

*raises hand* thats me, well the Collecting VR Pets anyways of the same Litter/kind that are popular. I Collect Toxics and am trying to get two sets so yes, I have alot of them. But heres the thing, the people that Collect/Hoard them work hard to get them so I think they have a right to Hoard/Collect their favorite CS Pets

I may be new but, it doesn't mean you can attempt to take advantage of me because I know these pets are worth something or you wouldn't want them.

For free?

I'm assuming so, because they never leave a trade message, it's not a suggestion, it's a trade, and they keep on sending it, only with different pets. I asked them in a message to re-send with a message if they wanted to actually trade, but no.

These pets are worth nothing. If you get rid of them you'll be able to get special rare adoptables!
