First off, it defeats the purpose of the game. 99% of the game is gathering resources; the other 1% is making useless junk out of it. Why not just play the game you're paying to play (or playing for free, if you're like me).
Second, in Xsyon, trading only saves people time since there is nothing else really stopping you from going out there and getting it yourself. Also, since everyone still playing this game clearly has a lot of extra time on their hands, then obviously they'll just do it themselves.
Finally, the lack of fast travel means everything you will ever need is in reach -- and if it isn't, you need to move.
