Why do most people prefer to trade in others' towns?

[Midgetsc]

I'm just curious ouo I mean, if they had like 25+ ratings and all were positive, I'd be fine. But usually, I'd want to trade in my own town, just because then I don't have to worry about them kicking me out as soon as I put everything down. o3o

I'd never do that because I hate making people sad, but I know a great deal of people who would, and wouldn't give a care about it.

I prefer to trade in my town just because I don't feel like traveling to others towns and I can always keep an eye on them.

i dont really care
though i kinda wanna earn the badge, but im not too focused on that
i already have the remodel so

I trade in my town for Train Station Upgrades. I also trade in the other town if I have a bunch of junk laying by the Station. Not a big deal though.

 

[Filly]

Haven't done much trading, but I'm a little self-conscious about my town so I prefer to trade in others'. I get a lot of compliments when I have someone adopting a villager but I'm just mehhhh because the arrangement of the 800 million flowers is all random and fuster-cluck like, and I have random design tiles on the ground marking where I'm going to put PWPs and plants. When I'm ready for lots of people to see my town I'll create a dream address.

Also, I never know whether I should end the multiplayer session once business is done or let them say around to check out the surroundings. I feel guilty about kicking them right away, but then I don't know if they care to stay around and if they do, what happens if they mess up my stuff? Basically I feel awkward no matter what ;_; I probably waaaaaaay overthink this but... but...

Also, none of the train station upgrades fit my town so I'm fine helping others unlock them.

I typically trade in my town if I'm the seller, or the one who made the original thread for trading. I assume the trading will happen in my town, since allowing somebody in your town is more permitting of trust than just traveling to somebody else's. And I like to establish trust.

 

[songoftheskies]

I try to always go to the other person's town no matter what -
too many scattered items, bells, and hybrids that I worry about them taking ; A ;

But I also tend to only trade with trustworthy people with good attitudes !

 

[KlopiTackle]

I prefer to trade in other towns.
I don't really let all that many people into my town.

 

[Mao]

If I'm in someone else's lways check they have the items first but overall I'm not too bothered xD

 

[DJStarstryker]

Eh... I don't really have a preference. I've done plenty of trades and they work out fine both in my town and in others' towns.

 

[Puuhi]

I've achieved the trainstation upgrade, so now I don't care anymore.

 

[TheCreeperHugz]

I depends.
If I have stuff on the ground near my train station, I'll trade in theirs to make sure they don't take anything.
Otherwise, I'll insist on trading in mine to make sure I have control, so if they try to scam me or anything I can just flick the wifi.

 

[gappamaki]

I prefer to trade in my town because I feel like I have more control, so there's less chance of something going wrong, but I don't really mind going to other people's towns either.

 

[Neu]

As long as it's a clear, quick, & safe trade, i don't really care about the place. I can get more visitor / guest counts for badges either way.

 

[Mixxi]

I prefer to trade in my town because I want the train upgrade but otherwise I don't care.

 

[Chris]

I don't really mind.

If I've someone else's things scattered on the ground in my town (I've had that happen multiple times while someone else resets their town), then I will insist on trading in the other person's town so as to protect the belongings of the person I'm helping. Other than that I have no preference.
