Trade Rant Thread V.14

[opus.]

Its pretty depressing wishlist hunting and the only way anyone wants to trade said missed outcome is with massive overpay. It doesn't help that overpaying in general is becoming the normal thing to do on CS so that FAIR trades are just down right impossible to do. I sent someone a wl pet of theirs that was overpay for their BWs (nothing rare on their side) and they still refused.

I know, overpay is like normal now. It's really stupid and time wasting too. Sooooo annoying. Why can't we have the old CS back, with Malk and fair trades and happiness when trading, and not huge demand and popularity for pets?!

What is this FAIR trading you speak of? I had hope it would come back with the new rarity system but I get the feeling it only made it worse...

Why must CEG's be so popular? Finding one for trade is going to be a REAL JOY.

I still believe in fair trading! But when you think about it, with the new rarity system, at least you'll notice if someone sneeks a rare/very rares in a trade full of commons o.O

Is considering trying once more to get one of my last two remaining Dreamies... the Grey and White Malk Dragons, but I know that if I stop trading for just Hoard pets again the bad trades and underpays will start rolling in again, or the 'trade downs' where people will want me to trade my high fodder for a fair trade in lower advent pets It was so much easier to trade up the Rares Guide pets before the new release demand craze started...

Guys, I'm not trying to be rude or anything but you did join this year, you can't except to get a '08 pet with in the first few days. And i'm not saying that you can't do anything just that it will take time and patience to get what you want, and it's not every day you get a rare or very rare from the pound. ^^; You'll get the

User, you scottish-fold isn't worth my grey dragon. Stop asking. e-e

Join date doesn't matter, really.
I had a BEG in January, that's what, less than two months that I had my account? People who joined this month have things like Sunbacks and whatnot as well. (o:

Yeah, a rare few people have rares list very quickly within a month or so of joining, but almost every single person didn't get them through trading pets, but rather art, offsite trades, gifts, C$, or other methods.

Their point(that I agree with) is that when you're just trading, not gifted or anything, you can't expect to get on the rares list in just a few days.

Sigh.

I did absolutely no offsite, bought no C$, and did no art. And people that gifted me list pets always got something higher back. (oh wait. One person got something lower. I'll have to fix that)
Just trading, it's possible, just takes a lot of time out of my day, that's why I'll be quitting after I get the sunjewel.

*Sighs*

Its a bad trade magnet.

Also, I really really dislike demand. UR Butterbun, why so hard to trade off?

[Calix]

Keanu Rose- I did say almost all, not all. You're a rare exception, but there are still hundreds(or thousands) of users who didn't get as lucky with trading/weren't as good with trading as you were. But still, well done on working your way up the list so quickly.

Uh. No.

I have 30 non hoard pets left on my wishlist if you don't include the August lion (31 if you do) and it's very hard to get it down since aside from this month's lion its all Main List rares and trading up is difficult for me. I was never good with trading unless its for mass BWs... orz
