I don’t understand why this game insists on removing all the social trappings of the genre. Sure, the Trade Post makes a lot of player to player trading unnecessary, but to not have it as a feature is a bit alarming. I think they should at least institute a cash on delivery system for Mail if they aren’t willing to compromise. I’m aware that they neglected to put it in to prevent scamming and gold selling, but i don’t think it’s going to deter that action in reality. I’ve gotten hundreds of messages from bots trying to sell gold to me and i’m pretty sure if someone had a couple accounts and acted fast enough, they could get away with it. The point is, why can’t we have direct trade? Maybe i wanna give a staff to someone in exchange for a sword. I don’t know them, so i’d rather not risk giving the item through mail and then not receiving what he was supposed to give. Maybe i don’t want to hassle with the numbers and impersonal Trade Post, so i’d rather just trade items with someone. Why can’t players do this?
