If they could implement a trading system that worked then cool, but the only thing I ever see happening from trading is people somehow duplicating items.

Trading? Every game that involves trading has two kinds of players: Players who get rich without playing the game and Players who play the game who never come close to the wealth of others. I understand trading means you can get that shader or exotic faster and much much easier. However, [b]Someone always gets the better trade.[/b] Players who know the game of trade will get wealth further than the lone wolf could ever achieve. Even though there's a 25k glimmer cap you can still hold as many silken codex as you want, so silken codex type items would become the new currency as each piece holds 200 glimmer. [b]Trading. I'm pretty neutral about it. I won't be mad if they add it, I don't care if they don't.[/b] Items in destiny have a very personal value, getting the Exotic Bounty weapons have a personal price to it. Trading would label what that price is. [spoiler][b]Trading will speedily end Destiny.[/b] Trade-Players will get what they want to soon and feel as if the game has little or nothing to give. [i](As the game already has little to offer capped players.)[/i] Players who do not know trade will beg, and beg. Never feeling like they achieved anything because the wealth they see others have is unreachable.[/spoiler]

You know why there is not really a trade system right? You can have 1 exotic armor equipped, and 1 weapon. If you were able to trade, than as soon as you got 2 exotics of any kind you would be able to trade them for the 2 you want. Also once you have full purple armor than everything else is usless, so you could just give it to your friends. Players would not need to grind level 20-26. Player would also trade motes of light, energys, coins, and purple gear for shards. The game would take 30 hours to finish every single bit of content -PVP. Every mission, Every Strike, and The Vault.

The problem with trading at this point is that the loot system is in need of overhaul. I would be ok with trade once the loot system is perfected. Trade isn't even really needed right now with the drop rates being what they are.

Only if you find some way to cap the system to keep it from breaking the system. Maybe have a pawn shop? Put your unwanted purple and golds in the shop for a portion of what they would sell. Have the pawn shop drop the last damage or armor slot from the item since it is "used". Purple chest in the pawn shop sells for 50 vanguard/crucible, the person who pawned it gets 35. This would keep the game honest and still give a discount for good (but not as good) gear.
