I don't know about the cheat-abuse part of trading, I just see ppl preferring to take more shortcuts to get certain things they don't need to work for anymore being the greatest form of abuse. It will encourage more bad behavior. It will also make any honest pirate question the authenticity of how that weapon was actually acquired by that pirate. You know like those phony Badges ppl wear since Infamy became a feature. You don't know with certainty that they actually battled and defeated the other guy in PvP or SvS. They simply allowed themselves to get beat to spruce up the reps and climb up the ranks. In SvS, they also get some bounty too. So really why allow this wonderful game become more merchant-like and less pirate-like? Why cheat yourselves from playing like a true pirate and really earning that Notorious reputation the tried and true way?
Granted, on the surface of things, it's a nice thing to ideally offer players to trade with each other, but realistically, it goes against what it means to be a pirate in the first place! Go loot and plunder like a pirate. And, demand POTCO to increase our Inventory space so we can stash more stuff we love to keep personally for all the right reasons.
And if you want to still have the option of trading, then maybe it should be stuff you can transfer to your other 1-3 pirates in that same account and no other. I'm sure players would find that more convenient and acceptable since it's all in the family.
