DvL Must Cry,
I'm with you that a lot of the attraction of free trade is so people can bot more. Considering how many people on this thread have absolutely no qualms about admitting how much they cheated on the poll or describing all the scams they used to pull, it's surprising that nobody I can recall has admitted they personally bot. (I may be forgetting one or two...) But actually I DO believe a lot of people want trade restrictions lifted so they can give stuff away. Many credible sounding posters have cited this as a big reason they voted yes.
Until a player is fairly well off they may not be into that kind of charity, but I could easily give a million or two away to a very select few, and one of the things I enjoy doing even now is surprising people who want to buy a rune pick at a star for instance by giving it to them for free.
If I trade with a player chances are very good I will hit accept (intentionally) before they put up anything. Usually they won't accept til they have put up something. This is because I don't consider trading with them unless they have demonstrated some class, or at least haven't done anything offensive that I've seen. You can bet if someone's name is designed to be unreportable, or otherwise extremely offensive I won't trade with them.
Obviously, I do my serious buying and selling on the GE.
