I didn't like what it did to the social aspect of trading, however the real problem was setting up a trader was completely free. That was a great opportunity to actually start removing some platinum from circulation that was just completely missed and there were different ways they could have gone about it. Hourly rate (could differ on how much you could sell items for or whatever or how many), "house cut" per purchase, etc. Yeah it would have required some tweaking but it would have helped slow inflation and brought more "real" value back to platinum and made people consider if they could make more money selling themselves vs the overhead of convenience.
