Wow, bad idea. This would absolutely start a new type of scamming. People trading items with an individual and then purposely clicking the undo button simply to grief people. --MushaUser Musha Sigc.png 19:11, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Agreed, this would cause sooo many issues. While such a thing makes sense for merchant selling (like in WoW), for player trading, no, just no. A couple of scam methods that could arise from it. Trading certain money substitute items separately from the item in question, then undoing the money part just a moment before. A virtual case of coin on a string. Or undoing a trade, claiming the other player is trying to scam them and having them trade the gold again "or they'll report them". All in all, not good. While those I mentioned could be fixed, players willing to scam would always find other ways around it. Tylenol Jones 21:43, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
Implementation of a "dishonorable" style system would eliminate almost all of those problems.Laric McLeod 09:26, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
I dunno, dishonor hasn't really done much to stop misbehavior in PvP. Plus it would still require someone to earn the dishonor in the first place, and with people often having more than one account, they could just rotate them to avoid any problematic dishonor based effects while trading (unless it blocked trading entirely I suppose).
