I should clarify that I am currently only lvl 23, so the chances of me finding a drop that's worth keeping are slim, as there is still plenty of stuff the traders offer that I can't even use yet! Naturally a lvl 50 toon will likely find drops that are more valuable than store bought goods.

Another thing I'd like to add is that what's unique about Regnum is also something that works against a trading economy, because there is such comradery not just between clans but between realm members, that trading between yourselves seems counter intuitive, and would only serve to slow your realms advancement and give the opposition an upper hand.

Much rather people would pass on their useful items for free, knowing that their realm mates will become better off and more powerful, furthering the advance into the WZ of your realm.

But I think this gives Regnum the opportunity for an interesting trading system, that isn't perhaps based upon monetary value, maybe trading items for XP, or simply for other items, eg. my Marksman finds yet another mages staff, so I go to the market place and put it up for trade, moments later a bow is on offer and I can take that.

Or finally how about simply a special merchant that deals with trading drops, his inventory is soley made from items people have sold him, and is persistent for other players to buy back, this would naturally be realm specific. This would also help simplify other traders windows as you could get rid of the buy/sell tabs maybe.

Pure trade without the fuss of money getting involved.
