Trading IS the meta, it always has been and it always will be and making trading stupid and inconvenient isn't going to convince players to trade less, all it does it make for a more aggravating and less fun experience and encourages people to spend half the league camping out in their hideout to make sales instead of actually playing the game. The fact of the matter is that trading is a central part of gameplay if you arent SSF, period. Bots aren't stopped by trading being inconvenient. Price fixing isn't stopped by trading being inconvenient. No other games with an auction house experience any of the issues any of you describe any more then PoE does.
