So I've just completed my annual deck update and drafting splurge on MTGO, and now it's time to trade what I got in events/drafts for what I need in constructed.
The problem is that I can not find anyone to trade with. Generally, I will post something in the Buy/Sell forums, then occasionally browse the casual room for trading partners, and get at least 10-15 separate requests an hour. Now, however, the forums are all bots, all the time, and the casual room is so overloaded with spam it's impossible to find anyone human to trade with. I'm lucky if I find 5 people a day to trade casual with. I remember it being bad, but never this bad.
Question is, where is the best place to find actual people to casual trade with online nowadays?

You can always trade with me. I may have the cards you are looking for.
There are a lot of foil cards I still need to complete my set.
As for places to find people, you have to go to trade rooms. auction/auction2, casual, 1:1...etc. there used to be a "casual traders" room, but that seems to have died out. Bots have a habbit of taking over a room and then people move to a new room. I can be hard to keep up sometimes. lol.

I am looking for Date Stamped promos from Khans of Tarkir block so I can finish my set. Check my wants if you have any.

casual is all bots.
auction is all bots.
1:1 is mostly bots.
auction2 is ok, but sometimes the guys running the auctions get pissed if you ask for a casual trade. casual trades was ok, but it only had 10 - 12 people in it at most. Have not tried casual2, will have to check it out.
On a related note...I'm not opposed to bots system per se, but I'm really hoping that in V3.0 that there are places that are total bot-free zones. Nothing pisses me off more than to see a channel swarmed with bots that should be for player to communicate.

I have heard that Magic Online Ver. 3.0 is not going to be BOT friendly? So it's possible that after the 3.0 update you'll get a lot more chances to trade with a live person.

I also give auction2 two to three months at most before we all migrate to auction3 and enjoy the lag time before the bots move in.
