Trade Rant Thread V.14

So what are items worth now? I am so confused D: Are they worth the same as before? I already have enough trouble trying to trade them!

I think dates don't matter is a bit of an overstep. I think they just matter less. Now a January 2012 can be traded for a July 2012. Before it was seen as totally unfair.

I'm still going with the 3 month period and if a pet's older than the 3 month, then you need to send 2 for my 1 or no trade at all.

Way to totally screw up the trading system CS.
So now dates don't matter at all?
Oh yes. Let the bad trades being.

I don't know about any of you; but I'm not trading an older pet for one newer pet with the same rarity. Nope, no sir. Not happening.
Dates still matter to me, even if they don't matter when considering the rarity.

Tell me about it.
Im really tempted to just lock all my groups and stop trading for a little while.

I did just that... everything locked away and trading closed... had already shut down everything but trading for my (used to be uncommon) hoard pets because so much value had been lost in advent pets and above thanks to the Demand Craze... now it is completely shut down. I worked too hard to get my Advents and Up to have people demanding a new store pet is fair with the new rules... just not up to the headaches to come as this all gets ironed out.

I just go by year, not the monthly thing.

What is up with this.....oh, yeah, now a dogtag suddenly has the same rarity as a tiny august pps? That doesnt make sense at all.

No years still matter -.- and August 2012 pet with the same rarity as an 08' Dogtag doesn't mean they equal the same lol I can understand why CS did it too.

Well crap. I've been ripping myself off for a while...

By quite a few people, yeah. It was all 'three month rule'. If they were more than 3 months apart, it wasn't a fair swap. So, I think the rarity system will help destroy that a bit so trading within the same year will become a lot easier.

Edit:
For people complaining about the August lion's rarity, please remember they are still being adopted. It really shouldn't have a label anyway. As of the 10th day of the month, they are VR.

T me dates still matter. So I'm totally not accepting this trade. (Besides they had a chard in their trading rules with 1 uncommon= 2 common= 4 very common). So, why do they edit my trade that way?

Same here. Months don't really matter to me.

But wow. Ever since that new rarity system began, I've been getting so many unfair trades that it's insane. I'm thinking of quitting with trading for the time being. I'm kind of sketchy to trade my previously rare pets now : /

They should have given items a rarity instead...
Or at least made it easier tot distinguish between free items and store items, or which retired items came from which year...
That would make it so much easier to trade for them.

All of this makes me so glad i mostly trade my C$ and not pets these days -_-
