I understand in the past certain design choices are influenced by an overall vision of the game. However many games have implented trading in a way that it is not abused or used for other purposes. I feel with some fundamental design choices for a trading system in destiny, this could really increase the longevity of the upcomming game. ------------------------------------------------------------- Benefits of Player-to-player trading; * Player Economy increases Longevity and replayability tenfold. * Restrict Trading Exotics and Items higher than your current maximum light in that slot. Or bring down the level of traded gear if above. (Trading a 200 Auto Rifle to a player who has a maximum of 123 in that slot will bring the gun down to 123.) * Lift or increase glimmer cap to allow players to accumulate wealth. * Restrict trading some items which Bungie feels players should earn. (Strange coins, motes, passage coins etc...) * Exchange silver for glimmer to combat Real World Trading. *Allow players to buy items from eachother with Silver, or failing that, Silver Dust. * This Eliminates paid carries, or decreases the popularity as sought after gear can be earned / bought by players who dedicate enough time into selling other gear to make enough money. However some items will still be exclusively for those that complete them, Emblems, Shaders, etc... * Gives players a reason to continue doing endgame activities even once all gear is aquired. Endgame activities will become very profitable and players will never feel dissapointed with loot drops, as one mans trash in another mans treasure. * Feeds the capitalistic nature in all of us and keeps us playing to accumulate wealth when there is nothing else to do. * Allow shared clan marketplaces, essentially ESO. *Allow Raid gear to be traded but just with members of your fireteam while still in the activity. Never again will your friend get the items you need and they dont and vice versa. ------------------------------------------------------- A game with this scope with a thriving player run economy would be great. Please i implore you, let your players decide, poll something and see the response of what the fan base desires. This is where you step in Community, agree with me?
