No-Thanks

So, after getting these trade requests on a daily basis i sent a support mail suggesting to add a turn off switch for trade requests to the options window. Just a while ago i got another trade request and just got mad.

Here's what i did:
-i rejected the trade request
-i traded the random person
-he put in random mats, i spammed the confirm button
-i responded to his question whether i have any swordstone with no
-i asked him whether he has any swordstone, he replied with no
-he said he needs 2
-i said me too
-he hit the confirm button

And here's what i got:
-free mats, which i dont need
-a bad feeling for being traded randomly without an apology
-a bad conscience for the poor noobs with their not so friendly approaches to acquire free items

I've given random items to random people before, but never after a random trade request, it's just rage-inducing.

I've had people send me trade

I've had people send me trade requests the second my guy stops walking and then they don't tell me what they want then get mad when I close the trade window.

do'nt deny; hide

My solution is not to Deny the trade requests, but to Hide them. If a trade request is hidden, then the sender cannot send another one. (Right? I hope!) This stops the worst of the random traders --- the ones who send repeated requests at high frequency.

If I'm bored and get a random

If I'm bored and get a random trade request, I accept it only to troll. I don't answer any questions and do nothing besides maybe put in 1 cr if they put in random mats (after having them wait for a while of course), never hitting confirm. I take pride and joy in doing this because the longer I take, the less other people are exposed to this.

If I don't have the time, I just decline the request and ignore the person.

Don't feel bad.

Ultimate troll is if you have a good amount of CE, and put it all in the window with all your crowns and just sit there.
Sometimes I do that, and then suddenly click confirm and close the window as fast as I can.
Risky, but it hasn't failed me yet.
I put mats in most of the time though, as I don't have a large amount of Crowns/CE.
