"Because I want to sit in a trade room waiting for someone to message me."

Thats why there is a trade forum. Thats why the trade window was created. In all honesty I
wont buy from someone that spams battle rooms out of principle allone even if its
something I've been looking for for months.

I don't mind as long as it is said once at the start.

The problem is, the chat channels for these aren't advertised enough; hell, chat channels in
general aren't publicised or used alot.

Because I want to sit in a trade room waiting for someone to message me.

I don't see the harm at all, as long as it doesn't turn into spam.

There is a whole forum for trading not to mention a separate area AND a trade window.
There is also a separate area for recruiting. Keep this crap out of battle rooms please.
