Trade Rant Thread

[Kandria]

People who cancel rudely. No matter how stupid the trade is, or suggestion, or even if it's fair but you don't 'like' it, is it really necessary to rant like someone shoved a stick up... you get the point

I never cancel trades rudely if possible. Unless a person is driving me up the wall and talking nonsense, I atleast TRY to explain why I cancel. >:C I mean if you wouldn't do it in real life, why do it now? People like that won't get many takers in future, so good luck to them

Just a reminder that being rude or abusive to other players is against the rules.

If you cancel a bad trade with a nasty message, you could get in trouble. So don't do it. If someone sends you a nasty message, you can report it, don't retaliate.

If someone tells you that your cancel message was a bit rude, don't get angry at THEM, just revise the way you cancel trades, and don't be such a bully in future.

If you sincerely can't think of a single nice word to say when cancelling a trade, then cancel it without a message. There's no point getting yourself in trouble over someone else's bad trade offer.

Use some common sense, and don't throw a tantrum when other people advise you to tone it down. With their advice, you potentially avoid a board warning. Throwing their advice in their face, you encourage me to give you a board warning.

Think before you post, and think before you abuse someone for sending you a bad trade. I don't care if someone asked for 100 of your very best pets for free, if you turn around and abuse them I will still warn you for nastyness.

you don't have to put up with nasty cancel messages, you CAN report them

But still, if your offer isn't good then it always aggravates people. In fact, I got a trade when I joined that asked for five of my unknowns on christmas for a common and an item. Good thing I asked my friends before I accepted it.

Yes that is a good thing it stills annoys me, because I've made perfectly good trades in the past (or so I'm told), even over paying, and people have canceled nastily, with a 'matter-'of-faclty' type of writing. I mean, it's good to corect people if they make mistakes, or say no if you're not intrested, but really? Is immautarity solving anything ._.'

and thankyou Kandria, I'm aware of that

I was just trying to remind people because some don't know, but glad to know you do, I swear I think some days the mods must hate me for reporting 4-5 people who get nasty with me in PM's or in trades...

I'm waiting to get a "could you please tone down the reports" or such from them >.<

Also... really?

-sigh-
I can't wait until things settle down around me, so I don't get so angry at people like I have today >.<

This is pretty annoying. When you got a trade from a person and they leave a nice message. Then you think "hey, what a nice person,maybe I'll edit this a bit unfair for myself, just make someone happy". THEN they take their sweet time thinking if they accept it or not and finally they accept it. Without a message.
Seriously, is it so darn hard to write even "thanks"? It takes almost no time at all, and makes other one feel like they have done something good. But no. Accepting without a message is the most annoying thing I can think of right now. You make a good trade to someone (including it to be unfair to yourself) and then they accept without a message. Makes you feel like you've made a mistake of some kind. Tsk, why do I even bother to send good trades to someone if they're not even HAPPY with them? Seesh. >_o
Anyone else got this problem or is it just me?

No message, not COPPA'd -_-

I canceled without a message. I found no reason to write one really; a) they didn't type a message when sending the suggestion so why should I go to the effort of typing one to cancel the trade? and b) if I cancel obviously I don't want to trade. Of course, not five minutes after that I get this PM.

it was a suggestion

My reply:

Your point? You didn't have anything I wanted for the cat and I'm not going to just give it away for free. I'm not required to edit a suggestion or send a message when I cancel it.

You know, "I can trade anything I have doubles of" doesn't mean "I'll overpay like mad for your butterfly I already have 13 of".
e_e
Learn some rarities, and then start to trade, because cancelling the trade when I'm already offering to overpay by a lot (I'm offering early '10s and late '09s for those butterflies) is just stupid.
Love to see you get a deal like mine anywhere else.

Well that's rather annoying. I hate when people do stuff like that. I've gotten trades before too where I happen to be only when they send it. I'll edit and send it right back... ... they're still online... ... for hours. Then they log off. Come back on and off a few more times and still I hear no thing from them. So I just cancel. I can't stand trades just sitting there collecting dust.
