This is just a little thing i thought of, since a while ago we made changes to how we traded things due to lag. Eg stick to dropping coffers etc. Would having a "Trading Chest" in Avendell help lag further by having teh need to no items to be left on the ground.
Make it so it doesnt refresh itself till a reset like guild hall chests and just wait your turn in using it. If xfering individually dont use teh chest if someones gear is in there and dont use it if someone is stainding there guarding it for someone else.
Just a thought
Do not see madness as a curse,
More of a bitter mercy.
But a mercy none-the-less.
