Safe Trading

Yes they could. ..and do. But then you learn to trade with credible people or alter your habits(silver first) or get a stall.

Couldn't a scammer just make an alt, and complete the scam then delete the alt. There would be no reputation to taint..

A trade window would mimic real life where Noone would be dropping items on the floor.

If you actually think that a trade window will stop people from scamming then I have some bad news for you.

I remember back in the day playing Sierra's the Realm where trading consisted much like it does here by dropping an item on the ground and hopefully the other player drops the payment for you in return..

There are better ways to do it just as what existed in World Of Warcraft that leaves little room for scammers.

Someone wants to buy your rabbit skin, you right click the player and open a trade menu, then place the rabbit skin inside the trade window where the buying player can inspect it. The buying player can then place payment in his trade window, both players can now see all items taking place in the transaction. Both players click confirm and the items are traded.. simple and safe..

Unsafe trade is an advantage of this game - it leaves the place for player action to make the transaction secure, if you want a safer trade I suggest you to check this out.

Yep that's an advertise.

The more restrictions, dev's care and introducing some mechanics to "ease" the player life the less place for actual gameplay.
I.e i think that introduction of teleport made organized trade obsolete.
