There was a time, when buying a war frigate meant using nearly all your gold. Back in the day, on these very forums, it was fairly common to see someone complain that their child had sold their war frigate (or even all of their ships.)
Either the new programmers have never read "Catcher in the Rye" or they think perhaps they really are helping "protect the children" by not allowing trading. For learning valuable life-lessons about trades and verification, scams and trickery, I personally would like my kids to learn it somewhere like this - an online game where it really doesn't matter. "You let someone trick you into selling your lost sword of El Patron for 10 gold doubloons? No POTCO for you, for 3 days."
