Trade Rant Thread

[Desmond]

Edit: Sorta-kinda-on-topic.. ^^ The swap thread moves wayyyy too fast when there's specials out. D: I can't keep up. >_<

It was hell following that thing during the Advent Calendar. @_@

Even I've given up on following it. And you'd think I'd want to be there patrolling and making sure everyone's following the rules. >.< I can't when everything's lagging so badly that by the time a page loads, I'm three pages behind.

Ugh.

So, this person offers a Rare rat (One of those pink/green/blue and white ones. You know, the ones that are "Rare" because there are nine variations.) and a hoard pup for my white Malk dragon. Their message stated that they wanted to know what else I wanted. I kindly canceled, saying, "Sorry, but you don't have anything else that I need. ^^;". So they send the trade back. This time, I cancel a bit less nicely, saying "I've already told you that you do not have anything I need."

Why? Why do hoard pets always come along with the fail trades? D:

I know! It's sick!

It's like when somone offered 8 hoard pets for 2 rares and 1 uncommon...

Oh, hey, lookit what I got...

I was rush-reading. Nice job blurring out my name. It was a mistake. EVERYONE makes them. Even you.

Let me discuss this reply. There is a group entitled ". NO TOUCHING". In my rules it states in large, bold letters that under NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you offer on groups starting with periods. It also says that the only way you aint getting screamed at for offering on things out of trade groups is an EXTREME over offer on your part. Even "rush reading", you would still be able to pick out the large + bold print. When starting a trade, one must scroll ALL THE WAY TO THE BOTTOM OF THE LIST to find groups starting with numbers/non-letter characters. Yes, everyone makes mistakes, I know that. However, the circumstances around this make such a bad one very bitter.

Besides, what makes you so special that no rules apply to you; that you can completely disregard them?
Eithier way, you should know that trade was far from fair.

Piggy madness! D: I noticed those are pretty high in demand right now. At least until the bunnies came. Now it's black bunny madness. (I assume. I've hardly seen a want portion of someones trade post without it.)

okay, so I was talking with --blahblahblah--, and she wanted me to say this. She was rushing while reading the rules, and she's so upset she wants to quit. It was an accident, and she's really embarrassed.

I never wanted this...

[answrs]

Oh goody, they messaged again.
Quoted my trade rules and said they didn't see what they did wrong. T_T
So I quoted the sections from my rules for them-

-OFFER FAIRLY. Don't know if it's fair? Check here before sending.

-UNDER NOT CIRCUMSTANCES ARE YOU ALLOWED TO OFFER ON PETS FROM GROUPS WITH PERIODS BEFORE THEIR NAMES.

NOTE:Almost all of my pets have the possibility of being for trade, but only for one hell of a good offer.

I am so annoyed at people that think that their valentines day pets are worth WAY more than they are.

I got a message, too. 8D
I've had a small problem with that user in the past. But really, it's very hard to get on my bad side. C:

Did you reply? If so, don't. Replying just makes things worse. ;-; I didn't reply to the message I got.

Anyways, I think we need to move on from that subject.
SO, WHAT ABOUT THOSE HOARD LOLFAIL OFFERS? : D

Wow, and I have one but wanted the white one with the pink heart. Lucky me =D
