Am I the only one who misses trade chats?

Just a few minutes ago, I decided to log onto the most famous trade chat I had ever witnessed, "Cubimal Traders", only to find that it was deserted. It would appear everyone has congregated to the new trade chat. I, personally, love the new trade chat, but I am a bit disheartened to see that I can no longer have discussions with my fellow traders as I used to have in my cubimal chat. Half the fun of trading was getting to talk with fellow glitchen, discussing former trades and laughing and sharing former experiences. It makes me sad to think that my favorite thing about trading is slowly diminishing.

  • And the new trade chat is JUST for trading.  I had my head bitten off not long ago for asking a question about the popularity of an item and talking about it for less than 2 min because it wasn't "trading" chat.  Alot of the groups are deserted now.  Seems as tho Global is the only place you can go but then again, if it even resembles trading in Global, they tell you go to go the trade channel, lol.

  • I feel as though there should be kind of a large sort of notice board somewhere in the center or Ur, where people could post their trade offers, and use the trade channel for discussions with fellow traders. However, anything that could make trader discussions a reality again would be super!

  • Perhaps you might want to start a Trade Chat group?

  • Honestly, I miss active group chats of any kind.

  • I would love a trade chat group!

    I feel like even the trade channel has devolved into one long string of when asking for an item being bombarded with glitch remote links. And then being belittled/berated for preferring a glitch to glitch transaction sometimes...

  • I really miss this too and I was just thinking about it recently as well. I like the trade channel, but I wish it wasn't so strictly "just buying and selling right here right now". I would love to talk to people about the worth of some items, of past purchases, talk about... general market things, I don't know. It has happened a little, but it quickly diminishes, and I miss the fun conversation. I would love to join a trade chat group, I just worry it wouldn't be very active. Like Marla said, a lot of groups are deserted now. If we could get an active trade chat going... I'd love to be a part of it :)

  • I hate when people lash out at me about "trade chat"

    The word Chat seems pretty casual to me, but people take the Trade part so seriously.
