I think all we need is a system in which a play can say I am selling X for Y, and all who want to trade specifically that can see it. The offline part isn't too significant to me, I just want the ability to know with absolute certainty that I will not be trading for 10x less of an item than I want, that I am not paying for a very similar looking item and that I am not meeting someone in a PvP world. I would be totally happy with a single point in which I could say, for example. I am trading 1k nats for 230k gp, and I just have to stay there for as long as I want that offer to be up.
Trading should not be limited to using the trading screen and meeting up with people on potentially dangerous areas, basically. It's too open to mistakes / scammers / lurers and too favourable towards bots.
