There are a plenty of way to avoid exploiting of the new trading feature, but CCP has decided to use the moneygrabber method, which is also the most exploitable.
The plan: Pay to Exploit
New mail and PSN account
Create alt and get some free stuff (and a new recruit:optional)
Buy AUR
Buy Boosters
Get level 4
Play for 100k WP (for more BPOs:optional)
Wait a month or two until booster & BPO will be tradeable. (only first iteration)
Pass to main your stuff
Profit
As you can see you will likely be able to create alts and raise your level fast, obtain bonus stuff and also recruiter stuff if you are particulary tryhard, while keep all the useful stuff for your main.
Not bad though?
The Counter #1: Combined threshold
WP-SP-Isk, set a reasonable threshold of these 3 indicators, all 3 of them takes time to raise.
200k, 2-3 millions, 20 million, this will make sure that the player is legit, or at least that the booster is really trying hard.
At the same time legit alts will be able to trade.
The Counter #2: Death Mark
Mark certain items as untradable.
New player active booster? Just rename it or make it slightly different from normal boosters and mark it.
Warbarge components? Mark them.
Keys? Keys are actually gained via playthrough, i don't see any problem in trading them
Newsletter stuff? As far as i know you can't redeem old stuff with new subs. But from now on you can mark valuable stuff (boosters, officer stuff) as untradable.
The Counter #3: Time
Just set an amount of days before trading can be activated
The mehhhh Counter: Warbarge Subsystem
Unlock trading with lvl.6 warbarge subsystem.
Exploitable, but it would require far more aur than level 4 loyalty, it would be interesting to see how many players would pay astronomic amounts of aur in component to unlock trading so fast, it also doesn't let the booster nothing in his hand, except an upgraded warbarge.
As you can see there are a plenty of methods.
If you want to sell me something, please give out a lot (and when i say a lot, i mean a whole lot) of SKINs.
Make them cost like 99 cents, pay some kids to color a few everyday and grab my money.
Shifted in time, your tomorrow, my today.
