It would actually be part of the game? Not everyone who plays the game uses the forums, and even less use discord.

Adds ease of use and includes players who are oblivious or unwilling to use the currently needed programs and websites.
I'm here to play Haven not use 3rd party applications.

There is often a language barrier in realm chat.
This would eliminate it.

But the proposed mechanics demands buyer to travel and trade face to face. How the two would overcome the language barrier at that point? How the buyer is going to explain he came there to trade rather than to grief and kill ?

This wouldn’t be face to face. It would be a semi realm wide barter stand. You have to be in the same realm to see what people are selling and buying but to actually complete the transaction you have to be in the village that is selling or buying. Could be done at any time, doesn’t require both players to be online and be able to understand one another, this is why it’s better than realm chat.

You don't need to speak a common language.

An ingame implementation of fair report would be certainly a good thing, as long as it would refer to bartestands in the same village.

It would most likely report weird things like selling a stone for 48 mulberry leaves. Besides, too much of developer time to be worth it.
