Concerns about the new PinPics feature

So is anybody else worried about the new comparison feature on PinPics causing a lot less trading opportunities?
What I mean is that because now that we don't have to search through a person's traders we will only look and see if our lists match up. I know that I have pins I would gladly trade for that are not on my Wants lists, but I have to look at the whole of the other person's traders to see that. By taking away the opportunity to look at the traders as a whole, don't you think you lose that time to look and see if there may be a pin you didn't know you wanted or didn't know you could trade for?
The comparison features saves a lot of time and I know that it is helpful to see if there are any matches. I agree that it is awesome and can be great for quickly finding trade opportunities, but I'm worried that people will only look at the comparison and forget to look for a fair trade and only a trade for what is on their Wants list.
An example of this would be when I offered a trade and they responded no. I asked if there was anything else they would be willing to trade the pin for and they simply said that our lists didn't match up. That's fine and people can trade or not trade for whatever they want, but I guess I am just worried that people are going to be digging themselves into their Wants list and won't be able to get out unless the other person has something they want (and we know how some wants lists look).
I don't know. Maybe I'm crazy, but I guess I am just getting a little worried about it. Thoughts???
