This amazed me. -.- I absolutely hate Scammers.
This little piece of work was from a 2008 user. I mean they joined the site in 2008. Been here for 3-4 years. How nice. You knew it was unfair, but you still sent it. Scam alert maybe?
This... this just pushed me off the edge. I hate scam, I despise it. It's older, more experienced users, picking off us newer users just because they think we're stupid. What, do you think we're not smart enough to edit your horrible trades? Do you think we're so dumb we'll trade a 2008 Advent for a 2011 common we think is pretty?

I'm sorry if this offended anyone, it will be immediately edited if so. But this is crazy. Why can't you older users get your own "good pets" through your own hard work?? =.=

By "older users" I don't mean every 2010 and up person that joined the site, I just mean the people that thrive off of tricking 2011 users into handing over their good pets that they worked hard for, for a few lousy unwanted uncommons.

I know the feeling. I'm an early 2011 user, and I have hard earned rare 2009 and decent 2010 pets, and recently I locked them away in vaults (making it crystal clear that i have no intensions of trading any of them) so no one could offer for them. But, recently I had 2010 members try and offer 2010 or 2011 VRs on my WL, and they all said "what can you offer for this pet?" so I'd ask "what do you want for it?" and theyd reply with "what can you offer?"

So, I go to their WLs and find my pets on their WLs and I'm like "do you really think I'm that stupid to give a 2009 pet for a 2010/2011 pet?" (since all of them have either all my 2009 pets on their WL, or my valuable 2010 pets).

Look. I'm not a scammer. If you knew about that dog you'd know it was UNCOMMON for YEARS. Seriously. In that past, 2nd gen litters were up for a long time. Yes, it is a rare dog. Yes, it's valuable but the 2008 mark isn't the be all end all of a pet.



Perhaps you should do some research before you accuse someone like you did.

Yes, and I apologize. It was my misunderstanding, but that was how I saw the trade before it was explained to me. I've had trouble with scammers often recently, and that was how this trade looked to me if I didn't put all my thought into it. I don't mean to call you specifically a scammer, and I'm sorry. I believe you're not a scammer now, you explained the trade to me so I understood it. Please understand, it would look this way to me without understanding the complete value of the pets. I do know the dog has been uncommon for three years, just seeing it as a 2008 for a 2010 looks unfair at first glance. I should have put more thought into the trade, I know that now, and I'm sorry to have enraged you. This will be my last message concerning the trade, as it's more spam to the thread than anything. I don't mean to make enemies with anyone here, though I might have after this ^.^" Again, I'm sorry.

Apology accepted. No hard feelings on my part.

That my uncommon wishlist pet from Oct '10 isn't a good enough offer on the latest staff pet.

Thank you I really am sorry, more thought should have gone into that trade before I ranted on it. Bleh, I have to make this up to you. Such a mess on my part! xD
So this isn't spam:

They posted on their thread that they were looking and willing to pay for pets adopted specifically on 11-01-11. At least that was what they posted. So I sent a suggestion with pets from that date saying I saw their post and asking what they'd offer, and they canceled, saying something along the lines of: "Oh oops! I already have those! Sorry!" It just left me confused xD Though maybe I should have been more specific?

Really? None of those were wishlist pets. I knew it was bad when I read: "Username will give 27 pets for your 25 pets"...

When people let gifts rot T.T.

I sent someone a gift with alot of their hoardie pets, and an advent swap since they said in their rules they loved them. It was the same year, value, and month, and they were both mid-advents, so that was fair. The hoardies were just added on just because I thought they were great people. I sent the trade almost two weeks ago, they are very active and I watch them post actively and stick online, and no where in their rules did they state they didn't accept gifts, or anything of that sort.

Blaargh, just accept the dang gift or send me a PM, or edit it .-.

Ugh, I know. I sent someone a trade offering them my 09 rare that was on their wishlist for their 09 uncommon of a 1 month difference because I was desperate for the pet. They had come online and must have seen the trade, but they let it rot for 2 weeks until I canceled. Also, I sent another trade offering one of my 09 rares on their wishlist for some Halloween rares and missed outcomes + a '10 uncommon. I'm not sure if the trade was fair, and I said that in my message. They let it rot for 2 weeks. Seriously, you could at least cancel! It's not like I'm being rude.

Agreed. ;-;
