Trade Rant Thread [V.31]

[kristenn11]

Just don't be stupid and I don't like suggestions but knowing you people, you will still send them.

If you say plz because it is shorter than please, I will say no because it is shorter than yes.

When I read the rules and the first thing I see is rude or mean, it kinda makes me have a short temper with the person. I can't help it...and most of the time, I don't even trade with someone who cant word their trade rules nicely because to me, it really shows if they care about their traders or not.

When people list the names of their dreamies in their rules saying that they are willing to PAY anything in their trade group to get it, and their trade group is filled with commons and very commons. They know what the list is, they have multiple list pets that are NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT OFFER AND GET FOED DREAMY OR NOT! It makes me like

I've found a way to make trading much more enjoyable for me. From now on, If you have 2 or more unnecessary pictures/GiFs or story rules or a codeword or 5 paragraphs or writing in giant red with the important stuff in tiny fonts. I am just going to click the hide button and use common sense and offer fairly. I will note little things like if you don't want C$/Non-wishlist/Off list trades, offer fairly and write a nice message.

My trading life has become so much better.

^^^^^^^ <3

Went to gift someone because I really admired what they wrote in a thread about trading on this site and how it could be better.. only to go to there rules and find they counteract everything they said. Yeah, not gift for you. ;_;



(Nevermind about the other stuff I wrote)

No, I will not give my Winged Blood Dog for an unknown hoard pet pony from December. NO. This is like the seventh ridiculous trade I've gotten for him.

[Hyrule]

I got this trade for my Cheshire Cat.

I'm not ranting at how bad it is, it's actually major overpay to them.
I'm Ranting at how I don't know if I should accept.

I seemed to have gotten a wee bit attached to my Cheshire, but that's major overpay were taking about, so I don't know what to do. >-<

[Summer~Breeze]

Oh.
So you send me a PM saying that I'm selfish to hoard balloon dogs.
Guess what?
I don't care xD

Those who complain about people with Recent Common/Uncommon pets being wishlist locked even though their wishlist only has older pets/rares.

I understand that they are not worth old rares thank you very much. And I do not expect overpay for them. What would the point be in taking off the wishlist lock and trading them for other pets I don't want and that will go straight into the trade folder? Just find someone else to trade with.

People who, like me, wishlist lock recent's, probably did have old rares in there at the time they wishlist locked the group, or probably had a lot of recent pets on their wishlist. I had over 28 pages worth of pets and now down to 11 pages, which just happen to be older pets. And even if I cannot afford them just yet, I will not be taking off the wishlist lock off to get pointless trades that do not help me to reach my goal, I'm sorry.

Just got this gem

Few things made me angry at this trade (yes angry, i haven't slept in 2 days and last time i slept was for 3 hours, so im kinda irritable)
1st, How is that in any way fair? Yes, i do overpay for WL (sometimes) but only 1 of those were WL and even then i wouldn't overpay for a store pet from 2012 with 2 mainlist pets.

2nd, that group is specifically named 'For Species Lineart (If named it means that someone is making lines and has claimed it!)'
READ THE NAME OF THE GROUP! I am not locking it because i want people to KNOW that i am offering my main lists for line art!

3rd, (Which could be called 2.5 really), that Blue Balloon is named. NAMED. Now.... read the group name again..... now notice it's named. so guess what.... you are NOT getting that pet even if you offered me a UR Tiger. I made a deal with someone for line art and i am sticking to that deal. period. end...... of...... story.....

-. - Granted, i am always open for suggestions including those pet IF they aren't named. And only if it includes either another main list pet from that tier or a trade down (but staying on the main list)

i wish people would learn to read group names. I mean, i only have 2 groups that have specific rules in their names. That one and my double event pets.

Rant over...... Sorry if it was long (or if it bothers anyone) but i needed to get that out.

Dear Me,

Stop being afraid of your trades.

Sincerely,
Me

I will never have enough pets to repay the kindness done to me.


I shouldn't be ranting right now but I just want to type this and see how I feel about it because mixed feelings, man.

Them: "Heard you were quitting?"
Me: lol Yes, who from?
Them: no message
Me: Why don't you tell me where you heard that, first?
Them: "What?"
Me: From who or where did you hear that I was quitting?
Them: "It was on homepage"
And then I cancelled telling them about how it's not okay to just send people begging trades because you see their name attached to a thread title of "quitting."

I still don't know if I believe them or not. I'm probably just being paranoid, they probably did actually not know that. Maybe. I dunno. It just seems a bit too hard to believe that they actually think the Latest Post section only has posts from the OP of each thread.

And I'm probably a huge jerk for leading them on... if I did lead them on... like I said, I dunno if I believe them.......
_______________

And these:

"What are you willing to trade for this?"
I have nothing against one-sided suggestions, but the message just rubbed m the wrong way. I know it must have been innocent, but it just kinda put me off, so shame on me for being dumb. It auto-cancelled, btw, so no, I wasn't stupid enough to cancel it just because of the message.

Hi would you like to trade, etc. etc.
"Yes, but I like fair trades better."
Cancelled with lots of lol-ing.

Hooray for people who say they are quitting then "suddenly" decide to come back and thus cancel all the trades sent for their pets because they specifically said "I'm quitting so take my stuff."
