Teleport Trade Cancels Need to Stop

Set yourself to busy then they won’t be able to trade you until you remove the busy status.

We should not have to change our online status or waste a blist slot to prevent people from abusing system functionality to hold us hostage.

Considering how often players teleport because it is the primary way people go from one place to another, this really isn't a solution. You would have to be constantly turning it on and off if you still want to be able to do basic things like receive whispers from players.

Not an entirely useless solution though given the correct circumstances. For example I would advise anyone who is in the process of purchasing a house to put themselves on busy because not only can trades interrupt teleporting, they can also interrupt interacting with the placard.

Personally I think trades shouldn't be able to interrupt anything. It makes it way too easy to troll someone.
