Sure I could try to barter those logs that you traded me for ore, but it's an inconvience and I'd likely favor someone else that has what I need, or, I wouldn't want to even bother. I'm still not saying it's bad, but it shouldn't be the only method to trading. Can you imagine the chat log? Brings back horrorible memories of lobby chat in Diablo 2.
