I understand William. I played Runescape you know, and my classmate's cousin scammed a person of 500k there. Runescape ended up tightening restrictions on RL trading which ended up in a trade limit. You mentioned this to me before, about random trading as we called it. While Runescape did such a thing, my trading with my friends was severely affected. I could no longer have fun making deals with them and receiving money for benefit. The cap was now 5000 gold. But actually this is a good thing they did, because, many players have these other sites where real money is traded for the money in game. Even IDs are sold there. I bet all the major guilds in the game would immediately start hogging in more players by sheer money. But this actually gets me really excited. Imagine all the fights and wars and all that breaks out in the game! I know it sounds silly what I'm saying, but pirates lived in anarchy. Whether we are bound to the code or not, our unity needs to be broken, That is actually not too nice for an online game you know. Something like Runescape's Grand Exchange will control everything in trade. A Barter system would suffice as much of a similarity of this.
