Trade Game Names and Desc - as read by a cynic

Somewhat tongue in cheek, and recognising of course that this is not true of many trades / offers where some of these terms are used.

BUT, sometimes seeing certain Key words in trade games and descriptions just evokes a certain sense of doubt I-don't-know-what about the prospective trade game...

• Term: Example: Understood as:
  
  FAST as in need x for y FAST. I will be AFK and non-responsive / I will low ball if i happen to be there.
  
  NOW as in x for y NOW. I have been AFK since the game was set up 14 hours ago.
  
  ONLY as in 200ed 5x perfect item only. My needs are highly demanding. My payment will be disappointing even for a non perfect version of this item.
  
  GG as in Many GG items for sale. Selling Garbage (or very average items) for lots and lots of money.
  
  Brg JAHS as in Selling GG items, Brg JAHs What i'm selling would never sell for a Jah anywhere. Not even on Traderie on a good day.
  
  N x as in N Ocy (with no offer mentioned) I am expecting this low value item to be provided to me free. Don't expect thanks.
  
  N x Free as in N Jah Free I am a level 90+ sorc who was rushed through the game, can't really play the game, can't and won't farm or trade.
  
  O Good as in N. Phenix O. Good Offer not good.
  
  Jahs for (low x) as in JAHs for I.T.H. runes / Shako My game is a scam game / I want people to stop by my game. Look at me.
  
  Cheap x as in Cheap E.T.H. Fort At best, averaged price Forti. At worst, more expensive than the average.
  
  Selling Jahs (no explanation needed) Real money trades only. $3/ Jah.
  
  N x No desc as in no description of payment I did not price what i need, so expect to haggle with me.

Any one else see any other terms and think hmmm.... ?

N [Item] O Read
Desc: AFK, Leave Offers

This trade is worth your time, but not mine. I only pay lowball prices.

I see this one far too often.

Another one I forgot to add..

O: GG item x
Desc: current offer 2 Jah.

Means: I’ll be using your offer to up the price of my item (which is probably worth an Ist) without me needing to set a price, or spend time negotiating with you. I’m also afk.

All the rest are fairly indefensible, I’ll readily admit, however: Sometimes RNG just hates you. You farm hell countess all night every night for weeks and three games in a row she drops zero runes or keys at all. You’ve never seen an Ist drop in your life, though your friends have collected five somehow despite playing a fraction as much as you. You get a El rune off your forge and begin to question your sanity. You have all this stuff, but nobody interested in buying, only the same scammer joining your games on different characters driving you crazy. It’s close to end of season and you’re beginning to despair for your chronicle and your dwindling free time… have we not all been there? I have less sympathy for people asking for free Jahs, should have played sorc if you didn’t want to have to make an Enigma, but making Metamorphosis require Cham just felt so mean… Especially late in a ladder season, it’s hard to really begrudge the beggars too much for hoping someone might have something to spare for them.

“Can’t or won’t farm or trade” does not account for utterly abysmal luck, or simply running out of time for one’s luck to turn around. Ultimately I DID get there in the end scrounging countless gems off the floor to trade up with, but I’m not going to lie, there was a bit of a breakdown a week or so before the season end announcement… So from one cynic to another, man, sometimes RNG just hates you, personally and specifically, to the point where it’s so dire that throwing yourself upon the faintest hope of receiving mercy from your peers seems genuinely more likely to succeed than continuing to pray for mercy from the loot tables.

"Last Wish for Tal Amy"

I traded a Tal Amy for a Last Wish Berserker Axe =P

sounded too good to be true or a scam.

crazy luck on my end.
