No giving is an issue. Perhaps we could allow coins to be given to other players, but with the normal trading tax. Gifting money could be like buying a null item. On the other hand, if you can reliably and easily transfer in-game wealth to others, then grey-market RMT becomes much easier.
I agree that not having to haggle over item prices removes one way for players to interact, but I wouldn't say it's the same as "no player interaction".
One of the things that's got me excited about this model is that you buy items from your fellow players, not from Jetbolt. If you are awesome at finding items in the world, you profit from the buyers because you'll get the coins they spend.
If this model fails, we can always fall back to a traditional item shop and more familiar trading and item gifting models. But I'd like to try the new thing first.
