I understand that this is probably a security measure of some kind, but as a new user I'm becoming very bored of waiting 72 hours for the ability to trade with other users.
Luckily I've had a friend gift me some stuff to keep me from going stir crazy, but I'm itching to start earning money and trading with other Gaia users. The experience feels a little hollow so far, but having access to an economy would make things much more interesting.
I can't imagine this level of security being a good way to keep new users, especially as we had to prove we weren't robots at signup with a captcha and email confirmation. I also understand that you need to keep people from abusing the system with multiple accounts, but I don't think the current method is very user friendly.
Why not remove the delay and instead raise the price of the trading key to 2000 - 3000 gold, or more? 500 seems cheap, I got given more than that just for doing the punky shop lady's quest. At least then anyone who was planning on making multiple accounts would need to actually play on each account for a while to make up the money, and people like me who are genuine and want to start trading can begin in the first 24 hours.
