god NC trading is a fucking slog
not just that it’s basically like trying to find a needle in a haystack when you’re offering item:item trades, but even when offering someone’s apparently “””priority””” wish and you still get told ‘nty glt’ because they got attached to the items that they listed on their public tradelist
maybe if you’re not ready to trade an item you shouldn’t list it on a public tradelist for everyone to see or if you don’t want an item enough maybe don’t list it as a “priority” how about that huh
and then there’s people who have their closet lists set to public but have “not UFT!!!!” at the top of that list, and you have to scroll through about 50 rows of items before you even get to their items that are actually for trade.
and guess what? now there’s also people having WLs of popular items but with the disclaimer ‘yea I’m not really seeking these but feel free to contact me if you’re heavily discounting these popular items that you can find better trades for elsewhere’ how!!! about!!! you!!! fuck!!! off!!!
finally the fact that the site’s userbase has depleted over the years means that there’s just less people to trade with, making the entire process even more worthless and miserable than it already was
