On the other hand I heard rumors that an ingame trading mechanism exists in multiplayer without throwing items around.
yes trading does exist but it is a bit buggy at times (i.e. items disappear from your inventory and do not appear in the other player's etc.) thus dropping items is a quite common way for me at least to give items to other players. The safest way to trade atm is to put items in a chest and let the other player pick them up.
I get that you want to make it as simple as possible for everyone but sometimes the simplest is not the best solution as you said. I am curious now what your original thought was and if you could just ask red51 for the methods to make it happen (in the API requests section).  think about it.
 think about it.
