The ability to send other players items in the game from anywhere in the game through the mail is a GREAT option in the game, but ANet really needs to add a window for when people want to trade items with each other and have the security of knowing what exactly is being traded to each other. WoW had a great system that opened up a window and all the items you wanted to trade to someone went on one side of the screen and all the items the other person was giving to you was on the other side of the screen. This way you could see exactly what was being traded to you and if any changes needed to be done. Finally, both people had to click that agree button so that the trade was done. If one person clicked agree and then other person changed something in their box then they would both have to agree again. This way if someone tried to change something that was being agreed on no one was looting and scooting to screw anyone over.
I have no problem with the players having to be right next to each other to be able to use this screen. I don’t think it should be able to be used like the mail system. It just kind of adds to the social experience if you are actually trading items and need to be by them. Up to this point I have been very lucky that the other person I have agreed to make a trade with has said they sent me an item when they really did not. So then I’m the only one sending something and they get away free.
