Trade Rant Thread [v.20]

[♥ ♥ ♥]

Okay. So after various FAIR trades being canceled messageless for no reason I send this. It get's canceled with the response 'e.e
. .
Saying please makes it no better..'

Right here goes. 3 month rule. So, 1 '09 Jan goes back too, *starts counting* 1 '08 Dec, 1 '08 Nov, 1 '08 Oct. So what did I ask for? 1 '08 Oct?!?!?! It wasn't NEFT.

What did I do wrong?!?!

Because you offered a 09 for a 08?
It is not fair to them.
The 3 months rule does not work with pets that old.
Beside that: It's mainly meant for pets in one year, as July/August-September.

And last but not lease: Better don't write messages with "please". It sounds like begging, which is forbidden on CS.

I always write please to be polite. Stuff like 'Please may you consider this. Thankyou Rosey' (when trading rares)

So what's the trading rule for older pets?

Once again, not responsible if your eyes fall out from seeing this trade.

How in the world is this fair? A recent staff dog for three '10 uncommons, two of which were 'nft' and a '10 common?

You may want to inform yourself about the rares list guide.
Beside that: I don't think a lot people will trade for example a 2009 rare for a 2010 rare, even if they are only 2 months apart.
And in that case "please" sounds nice, but in general: Better don't use it. It's some form of begging. There are a lot of ways to say something nice without using the word please.

When you still have questions: There are a lot of threads for informing yourself about rarity. And when you are not sure, you can use the "Is this fair trade?"-thread.

Agreed. Just saying 'Please' really gets on my nerves because it sounds like begging. Saying "Please can you consider this?" is fine though.

I think the demand for horses just reached a new down. :O
In which universe looks this fair? Someone out there thought "oh, 2x OMG so common = 2 uncommon". Gosh... I'll never understand that persons.

Mmkay. How about actually looking through my groups? -.-

Where did it say I'm looking for a red x?
And I don't even have a hyena. .-. I realize the vixen is a major dreamie, but I don't have a hyena. Wish I did though.

Just a general trade rant. No specifically bad trades to seethe over today (yet) but I'm in the "seething" mood.
So here. Have some trade rants.
Hot from the oven.

Sometimes I don't understand why rats are so undervalued in comparison to other pets.
Is it because they aren't a popular species in real life?
That's really the only reason I can think of them not being as sought after.

I mean, it can't be for lack of unique line edits. I'll admit, I'm a very "cosmetic" player. I care about the eye-candy level of a pet, not the rarity level. I collect pets with extensively unique line edits, but I still have a weak spot for rats as a whole. Even their coloration is adorable if they're lacking any outstanding line edits.
I mean look at these adorable lil' things:




^Lulz. That one is nekkid^

Cute.
Cute everywhere.
I don't get it. Why are rats shunned by most players? Does not compute.
Sugar Snap does not understand.

I honestly have a tough time trading because my personal values are out-of-sync with the rest of the CS community.
I understand base rarity trading... partly because I spend so much time lurking this thread. Education for the win.
I've had a few nice trades, but for the most part, value to me is
"Oh, that's pretty. WORTH IS IMMEDIATELY OVER 9000!"
I completely disregard species worth. Lol.

I happen to like rats very much.
They're second only to dogs.
I'm getting tired of my sent trades being cancelled because I've added a rat or two. Especially since said rats are on that persons wishlist.
It's just adding salt to the wound when I get cancel messages along the lines of
"Lol. No. I hate rats. Cancelled."

Stahp it, players. You don't like rats? Please put it in your trade rules. I DO make an effort to read them completely before I send a trade. I'm not a mind reader. Also, I'm a strict "wishlist" trader: I only offer pets that are on your wishlist. Why would I give you something you don't want? You don't want rats even though there are some on your wishlist? Again, I'm oblivious to this fact unless you specify in your trade rules.

Now, I can understand cancelling because you thought the trade was unfair, or you haven't updated your wishlist and you don't want doubles, etc. Okay, cool. I do that as well.
But to basically laugh at and insult my offer because it included a rat?
You madam and/or sir, have just been added to my foes list. Good day!
