Trade Rant Thread [V.31]

[Chimkii]

Why do people insist on offering the new store dogs for my pets. They aren't on my wishlist, I obviously don't want them. Please stop offering them. I've had to cancel so many trades because of this

[invadersparkscat]

i..i love trading but for some reason people have been a bit irritating lately -.-

Sent with no message ready to accept. I sent this beck:
http://www.chickensmoothie.com/trades/viewtrade.php?id=34173386&userid=180031&signature=lAnmhbrmNNijdeFhV74bYA
It got canceled with this:
"your foed worst trade ever."
I checked, they haven't acuatlly foed me.
Um, what did you think the trade you sent was?
Sure you signed up about two months ago but I have VERY clearly labeled pets, in clearly labeled groups. I also have links to the Rares list and Gap list in my very, very short rules. So you clearly had every chance to know that what you sent was unfair, you have no one to blame but yourself.

Here we go -.-

I see Trades (1 new) and open up my trading center to see:

[username] will give 113 pets and 2 C$ for your one pet.

Is it impossible for people to offer boosters?
No bids on my White Dragon have a booster.
None. Zip. Zero.

And I know they're worth the same according to the list, but I don't care about your cake dog.
Arrrrregh.

Self rant;;
When people offer a giant overtrade for a pet that you really like, and you feel bad canceling so you leave it to rot...
For a long...
Long...
Time...
In sorry ;c

It bites how value-obsessed people get these days.
What's so wrong about accepting a trade just because you like what's being offered regardless of whether or not it's fair - or if someone else would pay more? People act like they can't accept a trade because it isn't fair and then they're mad because they really wanted those pets? Just accept then. It doesn't always have to be perfectly fair. If you'd be happier with the other side then why sit on more valuable pet(s) you don't want as much?

Don't get me wrong - I love helping with trade fairness and giving people advice on whether or not to accept. I just think it's become so overwhelmingly "Is this fair?" that no one can ever get anywhere anymore.
