realms could build a market structure, RTS style, allowing villages to NPC-trade between them, through offers and requests, generating some XP/auth... that's about the only way I'd engage trading in HH

We've had this discussion in the past. It's a torn subject. I dont' recall when/where the discussion was.

Yes, there was a discussion, but here I addressed the fact that jorb explicitly expressed his developer's doubt (at 1:46:56):

Many MMOs live off of selling cosmetics, and you know having cosmetics being sought after items (?) like (?) I'm not entirely opposed to it but, if I could say one thing, it is that it definitely adds to the art tab. You know, I(?) mean all these things need resources and I'm kind of... a bit torn on how I feel about, for example, the fact that I spend a good part of every week's patch working on a hat for the patch. I'm not saying we should perhaps stop doing that but I'm also not convinced that it's the best, you know, investment of time and effort to make hats every week... but now everyone expecting(?) so it's practically your right for everyone to get their hat (inaudible)

When devs have doubts and players have doubts, I think, talks can help.

I'm not saying that drawing hats and selling them apiece for some $$ is a wrong way to earn money as an artist, If it works.
