If GW2 rewards for GW1 accomplishments are significant enough then I expect this sort of thing will probably happen. To do it though you would have to have someone who has accounts in both games and is trusted enough to moderate in both games. Moderators already exist for things such as trading guilds between players, so I would guess new moderators could come about for GW1 to GW2 trades as well.

A lot of players are going to be very surprised and probably mad that the bonus from GW1 isn't going to be significant at all. It would unbalance the 2nd game to give much of anything other than some bonus skinned item like we got with preorders. You might get some title to walk around with. It can't be worth very much whatever the bonus is though or it will just ruin the economy of GW2 before it even gets off the ground. Thus, cross trading shouldn't be allowed and I doubt it will be. The only way it will happen will be on 3rd party websites like gold selling and then Anet can just permanently ban those people participating in that. Which will be good for the game as a whole.

Hopefully this.

Otherwise it's just another reason not to care for GW2.

Thats what i was thinking, correct me if im wrong, but i thought ur HoM granted you the right to reserve the name for GW2, and everything in your HoM is either dedicated to it, and therefor to you (Minis) or customized (Weapons, armor sets). wouldn't that make trades impossible?

Even though i agree, it doubt it will be much of an issue as far as economy goes, the cool thing about GW2 versus linking it to GW (like a new campaign) is that the economy completely resets, meaning even if your HoM would grant you bonus material with the possibility to sell.. people could want stupid amounts of money for them, it's simply not there to be spent yet. By the time players become wealthy enough to afford them, im sure we'll have found most, if not all of the "high end" and rare skinned equipment.

Or so i hope lol

I predict rare cases of trades attempted between games, with a great percentage being scams, leading to lots of loud complaining by people who should have realized that it's too risky a deal to enter.

It will happen, no doubt about it! So far in GW's I've seen people selling/buying runescape a/c's, Aion Wings, GW's a/c's think even once seen a wtb Flyff a/c. there is no end to peoples greed :
