In Game trading has become a lost Art.

While it was a fun concept, nowadays it really wouldn't work not only because of the playerbase wanting to buy/sell stuff ASAP, but also because if it was the only way of buying and selling, people would start using bots to sell and buy. Prime example for this is Oldschool RuneScape where you have to manually trade a person and look up their offers to buy and sell, and while it might -seem- "fun', all it is is annoying to buy and sell small quantities of items. Besides that, there are bots buying and selling as well which defeats the purpose.

I think people are too used to automation at this point.

Absolutely this. We old school gamers from the MUDs, Ultima, Everquest, EVE, etc, are being replaced by the arrogant CoD and BF generations (No, not changing subject) who are just to; "You want that item, you know how much it costs, save up enough and you get it just like that" that the AI shops in modern games offer. The entire idea of "This item you have to get from another player, who your going to have to struggle with on a price for before you can get it" is completely alien to them. And, if it's alien to them, and they don't know how to deal with it, they just move on.
