General Discussion - Trading is such a goddamn mess - Forum

Did what I had to do - went deep down into the trading window, found a guy who had a middle of the road amount and went to trade for a big number, 4 in this case. He invited me, but wait, there were like 4 other people he was servicing. So I waited patiently but, of course, other people asked to trade with me, time doesn't freeze after all. It was a good deal too. So I invited them but unbeknownst to me the guy I had to wait for to trade with invited more people and the party became full. I realized that too late. By the time I left the party and reinvited the guy - poof, he didn't want to trade with me anymore. Found someone else from the dozens of people he whispered no doubt. So in the end I was left with nothing. At this point it is telling that trading tires me more than actually playing the game. Don't do it like that. Put your chaos for sale, continue playing, players will come. Usually when trade lists your offer, chaos or ex is gone within minutes and you don't have to bother spamming 50 people.
