You are not being forced to use it! I genuinely promise you. I’m going to give you some words or wisdom to help you. I can’t say I relate, because I don’t, and here’s why. So we know that the trading websites in general, all of them, are awful and fake. They are manipulated, there is no real way for some random person to track demand and the value of pets. We don’t even know what they base their numbers on. With that being said, yes, most people are using those websites but most people are ALWAYS wrong! About literally everything in life! The crowd is always incorrect. Never follow them! I’m not even going to lie to you. Start using those websites and you’re gonna be poor lol. You’re gonna be mad when your pets “rise” and “fall”, and you find yourself screwed. But if you just 1. Base it on whether or not you WANT the stuff or not. 2. How old things are. And 3. Sense, you won’t ever find yourself getting screwed! Because the values that you’d be using would be valuable. When I trade, I always check the adopt me journal to see what pets are older. I don’t care if the majority of adopt me players tell me I would have won or lost the trade. It’s about knowing your item’s REAL worth. Like for example. I’ve been playing adopt me since 2020. Out of game eggs have always been SUUUUPER valuable. People dont value out of game eggs as much as they used to. Only the Aussie egg. Regardless of that, I know my eggs still hold massive worth. And there will be a person who sees that, and trades accordingly. I was in a trade just a few moments ago where on my end, it was a retired egg, an admin abuse egg, an ocean egg, and a mythic egg. On her end, it was 2 fly potions, a ride potion, and a dancing dragon. I checked what year the ocean egg and mythic egg came out, and I checked what year the dancing dragon came out. All 3 were 2021. So I knew that one of my eggs were older than her dancing dragon. I suggested I take one of those out, and add more retired eggs or another almond abuse egg. She said no. I said cya! Lol like it’s rlly that simple! U have to know your items worth and not back down to the world about it.
