And again, since he targeted someone he thought he knew was new, I feel he should be punished. Again, personal opinion though, and I don't think an actual rule is in place...


There is not. Again though, does that mean every person who does a ninja trade going to be banned? I have a feeling if that did happen, you'd have a lot of players off the game.

I'm somewhat of a ninja-trader. I just don't pay attention to values, because they honestly don't mean a lot to me. Like, if someone wants an October common because they like it, and they offer an "ugly dog" (let's say it was a toxic) I would definitely take the trade. If they're happy, and I'm happy, I feel that's better than getting a rare that you don't want.

Now that I'm done babbling, I do think that person was a bit rude for trying to scam a newbie. If you didn't know values, and accepted that trade, you'd lose rares for something so common you can find it nearly anywhere.

What you guys are discussing was pretty crummy. It's in the trade message. If they'd left that blank, or polite even, then it would still have been a crummy trade but you could have given the other player slightly more slack.

Now on to me :P

I'm here not to rant about someone else, but to rant about myself. I was on this thread yesterday and heard the term "ninja trading" and that the DPA does it. Thought to myself, I think I know what that means (missed the definition, lol) so I went through the members list and sent some trades to older members that hadn't posted to the forums.

I didn't offer any pets, just left a message of "look through my trades".

Got a response back. For their 08 dog, they'd like a 2nd gen. :|

Unrelated to this trade, I asked my sister to look at a trade I was sent (no previous contact). They were offering way over the price for a Halloween dog. She said not to accept, to edit to make it fairer. And when I mentioned the above trade, she said "tell them to pick at least a couple more dogs!".
She actually seemed more upset at the trade sent to me than the 08 trade. Not sure why, neither of the other people were new players, after all.

Anyways, I've succeeded in making myself feel horrid! :( :?

So that was my confession.

@ Seasonal: Honestly the nerve...Some people on here, just think they can scam someone because they are a newbie -.- And that is just rude, and pathetic. Just the way they worded it...ugh, so sugar sweet, but they definitely had ulterior motives.
I would also say, that if the person sent the trade to me, and it was an uncommon for a more rare-er pet, I wouldn't have a problem accepting. They sent it...I don't send them. xD If they don't want it, that's fine.. Anyway, ending rant.
(Oh like when someone scammed me out of my ice PPS when I had just joined...yes, I'm still mad...)

There's a huge difference between ninja-trading and trying to scam folks.

I felt like I was being scammed when I was searching for a green glitter pup last month and someone wanted my cerberus for one. Another person wanted my only grey dragon for one.

Both trades were cancelled and it took a lot of restraint not to strangle someone...and I've been on here since mid-September 2008.

Really. :/ Ninja trading's not a big deal. What's with everyone bringing it up suddenly?

Anyways, I feel bad for that newbie who had gotten the UR Banana this month through a glitch. Despite the advice of several players in a thread regarding the topic, who all told her not to trade it for anything, she wound up trading it away... as far as I can tell, for a Nick Uni, a Red Grinner, a red X dog, a Joker, and a couple of others. :/ Isn't it worth a lot more? I know all those people on the thread were telling her it was, but my friend says the poor girl was probably getting a thousand PMs from scammers telling her it wasn't actually that rare, to convince her to accept it for less.

Anyone got any thoughts on this?

Apparently, she traded it to a friend. Or so I heard...

I hope that was the case. *le sigh*

.. Please don't bring that situation back up. Everyone got so railed up, and both parties where happy. So it really was nothing to be riled up about. Can we please not turn the Trade rant thread into drama city by bringing up something that is over and done? =\
