Trading system in the Tower (Idea!)

I understand where the idea of Guardians earning their loot as they progress derives from, but it would be a neat feature to trade items amongst your fellow Guardians. In the beta I received multiple duplicate items only to have them disassembled. I would much rather trade it to another friend or Guardian who needs it more than I do. A trading system can be implemented at the Tower where you may, along with inspecting other players, inspect their vault as well. This is when a player can send a trade request with another guardian. The other player could then receive the notification from the post or have it flash on screen. The other player will have the choice to accept or deny the trade request. A cool down of 3-5 min can be put on trading with the player to prevent spamming trade requests if he/she denies the trade. At the vaults there can be a window to showcase what the other party has offered in terms of loot and what items you may offer to trade. The window will also showcase both vaults to scan through. If the trade was accepted, the player who sent the trade request would place what item(s) they offer and select the desired loot of the other guardian. From there the other guardian would receive a notification that the trade has begun and can head to the vault to see what loot the player has offered in exchange for one or more of your items. You then select the items that the other party desires or place your own offer within the selection and finalize your decision. The player who sent the trade request would receive a notification that an offer has been placed and can view the upcoming transaction from their vault. This would be the final process where he/she may accept or deny the full trade, and the traded items would enter their perspective vaults. If the trade is denied, the player who the two players may go back and forth until a satisfactory trade is made, or one may cancel the trade process entirely if no agreement is met. This is a rough markup that can be improved upon, but I believe a trading system could be interesting within the game. Thoughts?

    • Won't happen, or, atleast I hope it won't. If Destiny has a trade feature you open the doors to being able to duplicate items, this is common in most games that have a trading feature Eg. Borderlands or Too Human. While "duplicating" an item might sounds great so that you and a friend both have it, it WILL get out of hand and then those nice legendary and exotic pieces we're all hunting for and putting time and effort into will become needless and boring and a waste of everyones time. Bungie are smart, we all know this, even though some brain-dead people can't see how awesome Destiny is and will be. So with Bungie being smart i'm sure that no trading will happen unless they 100000% can confirm that there will be no possible way to duplicate items through glitches such as the save glitch. [spoiler]Save glitch is when the giver of an item during the trade will exit out of the game after the trade is complete but before the game is able to save the data to say they have given the item[/spoiler]

      • I'm conflicted with this. On the one hand, I recycle my weapons like crazy for $glitter. On the other, I like trading in general. If there was a way to make $glitter marginally more attainable, I'd support this system wholeheartedly

        • I don't want a trading system. It will ruin the in game economy and make legendary and exotic weapons and armor too common.

          • I think an economy for resources such as Glimmer, Spinmetal, Ether Seeds, Weapon Parts, etc. would be neat. Allowing players to trade consumables items would be a cool alternative to weapon trading.

            • No because the curse of trading is duplication and then a badass gun that only is aquired by completing a high raid that is close to impossible every one will have with only a few earning

                  • I wouldn't want to see any type of trading system, shop or auction house. It would be good to be able to sell your wares to an NPC rather than dismantling and gain a little more glimmer. After all there is a war going on surely they need spare weapons.

                        based on an interview i saw on youtube (specifically at about 9:00), there will not be a trading system because they want people to be able to go into a game and show everyone what they earned. Which in a sense builds your character.

                          • While I expect trading in some form at some point as bungie have said they are looking into the affects it will have on the game. The idea of having players inspecting me and my vault and then popping a trade request would only make me spend little to no time at all at the tower.

                              • Nowhere in that article does Bungie say they will enable trading. Thank God. Trading is stupid and opens the door to all kinds of problems. The biggest being RMT (or otherwise known as gold/item farmers/sellers)

                                • I think the lack of trading, as it stands right now, is appropriate. I like Bungie's notion when they say that they want every piece of gear to have "a memory with it." Plus you might end up with people becoming Glimmer farmers and Exotic loot vendors which would negate the need for most other vendors in the Tower. There could be other ramifications that I'm overlooking at the moment, but Destiny's economy is too new. Time is needed to see how well it works and to squash any bugs. There could very well be a trading system implemented, but the game needs time to play out first.

                                  • In response to the people talking about farmers and dupers, those people clearly don't have much experience with Bungie. They were always amongst the elite wielders of the banhammer. Bungie doesn't like people who exploit their games, and they WILL respond. That said, I personally don't care for trading.

                                    • Trading will turn this game into borderlands 2 where loot has absolutely NO value whatsoever because what's the point of doing the raid on the highest difficulty to get good loot of you could just ask some duper or farmer for it and don't give me the "people will have to level up to get it because lvl 20 really isn't that high of a cap no offense to bungie go back to borderlands you little A-Hole.

                                      • By adding a trading system you would open the game up to a whole gambit of other issues, spammers, gold sellers, accounts hacked and striped of all items, duping, and I am sure there are more I am forgetting. I feel the system they have in place is the best one for the game.

                                        • People WILL find a way to dupe items. So I'm glad there isn't a trade system (: Also Deej said they won't put one because they want you to get your own items so if someone asks how you got it , you have a story to tell.

                                            NO Trading in game plz! If this was just a singleplayer game I would not care but with there being PVP also, being able to trade items would probably really make PVP a mess plus it's just more fun to get items on your own. STOP BEING LAZY!..

                                              • I disagree with the premise of trading weapons. Bungie wants the weapons you get from missions, strikes, raids, PvP, to feel special. To feel like you EARNED them them through blood sweat and tears. And for you to be able to show them off and for others to know what you went through to get that. Being able to trade those weapons to others who haven't gone through that would neuter any special meaning those weapons had. They would then solely be a sum of their parts. Nothing more than a good weapon without the meaning behind that.
