Will these changes make it easier to implement cross instance trading (especially trading to people directly from your stash even when you're not in town/hideout)? The most common reason people don't respond to trade requests is because they're either in lab or don't want to burn a map portal for a 1 alchemy item. To prevent abuse all you need to do is make sure items that are in inventories can't be traded to someone in a different zone (people would use this to carry more loot back without burning map portals otherwise).

This league has made this problem even more apparent, since temple has so much loot and such a tough boss its risky to burn a portal.

Trade is intentionally made onerous.

Trade is intentionally made time consuming and in such a way as to encourage "player interaction." Making trading low value items next to impossible goes completely against their entire reasoning for the current trade system: making it possible for casual players to afford items.

Wut? I have a huge stash of stuff I'd set to 1 alch buyout, but I'll never sell anything cheaper than 20c, because interrupting flow of gameplay for small sum does not worth it. So enfoered player interaction just makes me say "screw trade." This made even worse by how the system is implemented. I made a mistake setting tabula for sale. I've sold it in 5 minutes, and over next 3 hours I've got more than 50 (FIFTY) WTB messages. Never again. Next would go to npc trader directly.
