We saw similar stories many times.
1. Someone was excited by newly purchased item and wanted to show it to a 'friend'. Accidentally traded it.
2. Other guy wanted to test decay on an item. Accidentally TTed it.
3. Or very recently helaer shows FAP's decay after healing job and accidentally trades it.
Many if not most of those ended up with item being stolen and refused to trade back.
Then we got Item Protection on most (not all!) items.
Problem: in order to do above (well apart of 1.) you still need to disable Item Protection.
Another problem: not averybody know about it, mostly new players but even old players (especially ones coming back from inactivity).
Solution is very simple:
Move conditional checking if Item Protection is enabled.
Right now we can't move protected item to Trade Terminal or Trade window as that check is on move action.
Instead change it to Accept action.
That way we can still show item, check decay, but when accidentally we click Accept button we get message saying "You cannot trade protected item!"
One step further, would be to set Item Protection for every item we buy. Maybe at least an option to enable it, with deafaulting to true.
That way new players who are not aware about protection are somehow safer.
