i have the same story as the OP, though i joined in 2011 and went on hiatus about 2.5 years later. i came back this year out of pure curiosity. it's honestly changed so much from when i joined; perhaps it's because the game had only been out a little while, but it was so much easier to trade for "big" items in 2011-2012. i remember i had 2 beta blankets and a ton more "big" items. i worked super hard for everything, and made a lot of friends along the way.

i unfortunely got scammed out of blonde pigtails (when they were super rare) and some other stuff, and i quit. i didn't care about being rare, though i was. i cared about getting new items that not everyone had so i could make unique looks with them and decorate my den. i absolutely loved it, even still to this day.

if i had to list some gripes about the game, this is them:

- low life people with nothing better to do with their time (such as scammers, beggers, etc.)

- traders who purposefully undertrade you

- rudeness/greediness in general

- very picky/vague traders (it's so difficult to know what they want, and sometimes, if you're lucky, you'll even get someone who's super picky, but can't tell you what items they're interested in... *sarcasm*)
