they make me sad
I've lost something like 10-15 pastry boxes to people that don't know how the claim thing works.
you post claim first, AND THEN you look who is above and send it...
I usually ping them just asking "hey, did you forget about me :(?"
( one of them actually answered "quit nagging me, i got other stuff to do in real life too.." and I sat waiting for a pastry for 15 minutes)
and as much as i try to explain how the claim thing works, i look at their "recent posts" page later on and realize they are still doing it wrong and skipping people on every board AFTER I EXPLAINED sigh
I finally got to 100 pastries though, took me freaking 5 days
I used to do that with Joyce but she hasnt been online for the event.... otherwise I would totally trade with her instead of these boards
DUDE! seriously. I am really really disappointed with how stupid people are. The concept isn't complicated. I gotta admit i've gotten distracted a few times and it took me 5-10 minutes to send, but there were people on the boards just doing it wrong, even after it was explained to them.
I get distracted sometimes too... but if someone just posted "did you forget about me?" I would just get reminded and send it to them, not go
QUIT NAGGING ME DAMMIT AND WAIT 20 MORE MINUTES lol
I read it and was like O.O
That user just sounds like a jerk. Theres really no need to be rude, and if thats what he/she considers nagging... i want their life.
That's why I usually avoid these boards. I do the trading with a friend and that works much better.
The boards actually end up being super efficient. Its just the handful of people that refuse to read/understand/follow the rules that kinda mess things up for everyone
Amen! Ugh, seriously! It's a pretty basic concept to follow. Someone gave me a box like two hours later, and I was just like "really?". I mean, if you're too busy then don't post on the board! Even on the internet some people think it's all about them. Anyway, my rant is over. I'm just happy that I've got all the achievements for the pastry boxes.
People really need to realize that those boards go kind of fast. Sending the item to the latest poster and then posting is NOT how you claim someone. These people have ruined those kind of threads for me, and I don't visit them as often as I used to during older events. :/
Also annoying are the people who make the board "____ the person above you ", and then make "____ the person above you " while is still going strong. People go to the new board and the OP gets a freebie.
I've seen the same handful of users do this over and over again. UGH. There's NO LIMIT to how long a board can be. -_-;
agreed with =D
and i never had a problem with someone skipping me? i cant believe people were rude to you and like, you got skipped that many times that sucks
