Trade rooms are meant for trading. Socializing to a small degree is fine, but that's not the purpose of the room.
(that's like going to a cute or boot and start trying to promote trading which people get very upset about because it distracts the purpose of the game room.)
I go into trade rooms and ask people politely to move their friend cliques to a private room so that they don't disturb the people who are legitimately trying to trade, and they get mad at me. Isn't that completely hypocritical of the above example?
Naturally, people create trade rooms because they know that the room will gain popularity and attention because people go to trade rooms to socialize.
If you want to socialize with your friends or cliques, make a separate room for that so the people who are trying to trade can do so without feeling intimidated by large groups of people who are just there for attention.
A lot of people have been referring the trade rooms in MyVMK to the ones in VFK and saying that our economy is heading towards the corrupt economy of VFK. If you know anything about VFK, you know that there's always a trade room at the top of the list where little to no people are actually trading and everyone else is fighting with each other or being cliquey. I don't want MyVMK to be like this.
Luckily people have been promoting game rooms more which is good, and once quest kiosks are sold there will be a major rise in quest rooms.
Sadly with a lot of members being offline a lot, people can get bored and go straight to trade rooms to socialize because that's where a lot of people are. I get that. I just wish the tables would turn and the focus of trading in trade rooms would be more common.
I know a lot of people will say, "well that's where my friends are so if I want to socialize with them then I can". Well obviously, but if your personal conversation is flooding the chat log and people's trades are being hidden because of this, then just go to your own room. It'll ease the headache of the other people.
