Because that would be Player-to-Player trading, which isn’t supported? We have the Trading Post to avoid scamming and provide a most necessary Gold sink.
Good luck.
How hasn’t trade or Cash on delivery mail been implemented in the game yet? It seems like such basic things to not be in the game.
Because direct player to player trade is not officially supported. This is intentional. The TP is supposed to fill this role.
It’s not in the game intentionally. Obviously those things could have been added. But the trading post has a built in gold sink that wouldn’t exist of those were added. And in Guild Wars 1, direct trade caused issues with players finding creative ways to cheat other players. If you trust someone you can send them something and get the money, but it’s not supported by the game intentionally.
No i know that the TP is meant to deal with that, but it just ughh doesn’t feel the same. Trade chat was always fun in MMO’s and its difficult to scam someone with cash on delivery systems and well if the other person has to accept the trade.
Happened fairly frequently in Guild Wars 1. There were often complaints about it. Sure you couldn’t scam a guy like me very easily But that didn’t mean scams didn’t happen. We know they happened.
Because they don’t want it in their game. Having the trading post Is both a gold sink and keeps the numbers of scams down that increase support costs.

Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.

I also enjoyed direct trade in GW1. Made a number of friends, guildies, allies that way. I miss it in GW2. But ANet have been pretty adamant about not having it here.
It certainly cuts down on chat spam though.

True. Most maps I play on see little to no map chat at all. Helps reinforce a sense of the need for heroes when there is little indication that the world is shared with other players.

A lot of that has to do with free to play players not being able to talk in map chat. It’s a problem, for sure.

Another lot that has to do with it is the difficulty in typing while doing combat and moving. I always have to come to a dead halt if I’m going to say more than a word or two.
I saw nothing of social value in the rapidly scrolling WTS/WTB spam in Guild Wars 1 and I’d prefer it not come to this game to clog up chat.

Yeah a lot of the time I’m on voice chat with my guild. But there’s plenty of chatter I’ve seen in HoT zones.
The problem with core zones is that they’re so easy, no one has to talk. There’s no real reason to. No one has to ask for help. No one has to coordinate, so people don’t.
Edit: But to tie this back to the topic at hand I don’t think I’d like to have that player to player option filtering through everything in map chat, even if no one was chatting, but certainly not when I’m trying to ask for help with a hero point.
