To be completely honest, one of the things I missed when I started playing Guild Wars 2, when it came out, was trading.
I have played GW1 for a long time and I spent probably half of it in Kamadan. Not because I “had to”, but because I enjoyed it. And I think that many people agree. Look at Kamadan, it’s always full! I’m pretty sure that more than half of the people that are not obligated to be there.
A lot of people in this community are still here because of trading and the items that they found through the years. Contrary to GW2, there are unique, one of a kind items in GW1, impossible to value. It’s not like there are 100 more floating around and you can just post them on a Trading Post for 1 copper less than the previous one listed. It’s not like that and it cannot be like that with most of the items and, to be honest, I’m really glad that it’s not.
In GW2 all the items fell the same, all the items are still obtainable, everyone just has to grind and spend hours farming to get them.
Trading in GW1 is kinda the same. But instead of grinding and farming and buying gems, you sit in Kamadan waiting for them to appear like a prey. When/if they ever show up, you have to negotiate in order to get them. You have to own other items that the seller wants, or have enough ectos/arms. And this "trading/negotiating game" is thrilling and exciting for a lot of people, including myself.
I have never found other game where trading and the uniqueness of items was so meaningful.
Additionally, trading has brought me many friendships. A lot of those started with “WTS something.” and that "something" was something that I wanted to buy. The fact that you are trying to sell or buy items on your own gives trading a more personal feeling, in my opinion.
So, to my eyes, trading and negotiating is not bad at all. In fact, it’s probably the reason why I still play this 15yo game. And if a Trading Post was added, I’m pretty sure a lot of that essence would be gone.

My main collection is Q8 +5e/15^50 Jade weapons.
But while the final pieces of the Jade collection don’t magically show up, I decided to start a small humble side collection of OS weapons with +12% damage mod.
Finding OS 12% weapons (specially Q8s) has proven to be a hard task to do these days but, nevertheless, I managed to grab these pieces in the last few months:
(Special thanks to Kabong (KBNG) for the amazing Storm Bow and to Bradols for finding that matching 212g Piercing Axe, you guys are the best!)
