I guess, since many new people do not even know trade ping is a thing.

Having to rely on trade ping to get people's attention is extremely obtuse.

If anything, we should have a feature that does nothing but ping someone if you specifically want their attention rather than needing to send a trade request.

Though not only would adding this help alleviate the need to run up to people and trade request them, but it'd let you know any time someone posts near you.

A lot of players, not even just new players, won't bother trying to ping you if you don't respond, so giving people the option to be alerted whenever new IC posts pop up would help immensely. Especially for characters who post up in otherwise quiet areas.
