Realism was never meant to have open access to trading with regular players. The whole point of the game mode was for it to have a more realistic economy/experience rate game mode where loot/items were harder to come by than normal, since players needed to spend a lot more time grinding to get to that point. Merging the economies would completely defeat the point of the game mode. We realize that realism is a more niche game mode, though that was expected, since it's quite challenging with the low experience rates, and reduced gp. That being said, Dan and I were discussing allowing realism players to change their account status to classic mode, should they choose to not want to be realism players anymore. This makes sense, since classic and realism are quite similar, the main difference being that classic players have higher experience rates, and the ability to trade with normal players.
