I don't care too much about this update. Imo it doesn't really change much, if anything, besides appease some of the players that wouldn't shut up about how much they needed trading in zone. I'd think that some sort of trade GUI different from Era's would be cooler, but I guess its more efficient if its more public.
And can someone explain why it is so damn awful that we used something that Era has? I mean come on, this has been asked for since the introduction of the in-game forums. People even specifically asked for "Trade Tables, like on era"... I mean really, please explain how it hurts the game that we have a building that has content from era in it. Seems like every update is somehow traced back to Era, even when not a lick of the idea has anything to do with Era.
