they are trading for something to try it out on the spot so to speak

items will be wiped in the reset but the knowledge of what they tried remains for future use in the retail

Are we talking about in game trading or trading for real money? If (I assume) you're talking about in game, then it's simply because people want to try out their dream builds before retail, or want to ensure that their at their best form come next BWE for pvp matches.

Hehe, well, think of it this way.

Both gold AND items will be wiped. Why not trade? Keeping your gold isn't going to do you anything, either.. so why not trade it for things you can enjoy? An impending wipe doesn't stop you from experiencing the game.
