.... Really?

[sam-j-c]

In someone's rules:

I am COMPLETELY against hoards, they are greedy and selfish. Hunting down a specific pet like its nothing, only to gather a bunch and pay no care to each individual one, how about instead of that you actually think and leave some pets out there for the people who dont have them. Think about someone else for a change hoarders.

x.x and this was why me and my friends have such a hard time hoarding sometimes... I don't get angry, annoyed, or jealous when i see a huge hoard. that's awesome when someone actually loves each of them. Some people overpay for them, get them as gifts, and find that they're very significant to them. Why person? why do you hate the hoarder? don't hate the hoarder... hate the hoard.
I have... technically.... 4 hoards. 2 are rather large, but the thing is, I pay attention to them all, i go flipping through the pages. why am i selfish? i sometimes gift them out if i exceeded my goal. I might lower how many i have in the future and people can get them again. Lesson: hate the hoard, not the hoarder. Please people, notice this.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't fair, and either way I wasn't interested, so I edited to this (keep in mind all the pets I offered were on their wishlist):

And then send back this?

The worst part is, based on their trade rules, they know their rarities.

Is this what I'm going to have to resort to in order to expand my hoard?

I may not know my rarites that well, but surely the unicorn is worth more that that.

Well, that's pretty ridiculous. =/


My rant: When I dont get trades for days and then I reply to this thread, feeling sorry for a lot of the bad trades people get on here, and then I get a million terrible trades sent to me. It's like they want me to post it on here and they are waiting for it. I only ever get trades when I post in the forums. You'd think that since I post on this one, people wouldn't send me bad trades due to the fact that I will probably post it on here. =/ Oh well though, that's life.

Rant:If someone cancel your trade without a message.
You followed all of the rules, made a fair trade, and then: Cancel. Without explaining why.
Somehow this even more annoying then getting a trade without a message.

Maybe because they're busy.
And if you did read the rules you would have seen the warning at the bottom. '>>

Honestly I think it's rude that people demand I interact with them when it's completely useless to do s.
Sending a message with a straight forward trade is redundant, there is no need for "hope we can trade" and the like.
Same goes for a cancel message.
There are three reason someones cancels.
1. They don't like what you're offering
2. The pet you're offering on is currently involved in something else
3. You didn't read the rules
