Guild Wars 2

Trading outside the Black Lion Trading Company in Guild wars 2 in a secure fashion is not possible. There is absolutely no way to guarantee as a seller that a person will pay with coin for the item your going to send them yet.

This is mainly due to there not being a C.O.D (Cash on Delivery) on mail. It would be a easy implementation and something that is expected to find in every MMO at this point. However if this was/wasn’t to be added, person to person trading would also be nice as well. This would provide a ability to work with people as a seller and build some real economy on your server. Also it would allow crafting to be more social and build yourself a reputation as a provider of good deals and items on the server.

Also having a person to person trade would be nice to give someone a item quickly in game. It’s really weird to be standing next to someone in game and send them a mail of a potion or food item I have in my inventory. For a game full of immersion and great world set pieces…It really takes you out for a minute.
