Default How can free accounts trade- a solution!

Ok so from my point of view its really easy way to solve the problem we have actually:
Free accounts can not trade with other players.
Why?
To prevent farming of items from a bunch of free accounts and killing of the game economy.
This leads to:
only pay to play accounts can trade. Which makes the availeble market for items, resources, gold VERY small.

THE SOLUTION:

each item in the game will have a special tag for the server side of the game that will devide items in 2 main categories:
crafted items
droped items

As soon as any player crafts an item the game assignates this item the special tag that ientifies it as crafted. The crafted items then could be traded between ANY kind of players.
Of course the drop items will stay prohibited for trade for free accounts.

I direct you to the post I made about this here.

It details a number of restrictions that could be placed on free accounts besides the global "No trading period." restriction we have now. The suggestions I made would make gold farming via multiple free accounts impossible, while still allowing free accounts to trade. Go bump that post if you like what I wrote :P.

The problem isn't with crafted vs. bought/dropped items, it's that a person can make a free account, farm gold with it, and then trade it to his other accounts, thus giving the primary account a huge advantage.

But seriously, go check out the post I linked, haha.
