No, thank you. Equal trading will not work, because you cannot base equality on rarity. All Exotics are not equal, etc. Equal does not mean fair, and if it is not fair, it will be exploited. As opposed to retyping it, I will just quote what I had posted on one of the multiple similar threads that popped up yesterday: [quote]I am not actually opposed to trading, but I am opposed to trading done without looking at the larger picture - which this video is also guilty of doing. In order for any real trading system to work, there needs to be a unified and established in-game economy, which Destiny still does not have. To add that, it will likely be a larger effort than trading itself. But, my opinion is that you simply cannot create a trading system that is fair without it. The whole "only trade with friends" argument is not really that valid. Ultimately, there is no barrier in adding a friend, other than sending an invite. It will do nothing to prevent people selling you exotics for real-world currency, apart from a waiting period. Even saying to limit it to like classifications and/or rarity is flawed, because that is essentially saying that every Exotic Heavy has the same perceived value as any other Exotic Heavy in the game, for example. We all know that to not be true. As to why, the answer is simple. Supply and demand. Some gear and weapons are more desirable than others, based upon their traits. This bolsters demand. If, for example, Xur were to sell that item tomorrow, the supply would increase, and the demand would decrease, changing the perceived value. Assume that Gjallarhorn is never sold again, and is only available as a random drop or chest reward. It is already desirable, and it is powerful, and there is a vast influx of players that have not had an opportunity to actually buy it. Demand will steadily increase, as the supply will be outstripped by demand. If what is sold tomorrow is Super Good Advice, apart from people rage quitting, the decreases the perceived value of that weapon even more than it already is today. A one for one trade of these items would not be of equal value. That means to make the trade "fair", there needs to be some form of in-game arbiter. You can do this algorithmically, by saying that other items need to be included to make the trade equally beneficial to each player. But to do this, you need to be able to take the separate (and informal) economies that exist in the game today, and provide a unifying factor, so that you can determine the intrinsic worth of items from other economies. If you remove the cap, I think that Glimmer would be good to use as the backing economic device for all valuations. But, you would also need to provide a means for people to convert between those currencies, as well. It could be something as simple as a currency exchange vendor, that allows two way exchanges between multiple types of currencies. Then, being able to attach a numerical value to something - and see what the current "market value" is for something, based on that supply and demand, will allow for that fair and level trading field. Even then, it is still exploitable. You absolutely will have overseas farmers who employ people to run accounts just to gather items of values and sell them. However, you are at least making the perceived value of the trade a part in a person's decision to participate. If both parties have to "give" a fair and equal amount, based on those economics, there is less reward to be had in people exploiting the system, because there will be fewer people willing to do some level of monetary exchange and an equal value exchange in-game. If Bungie can tackle those issues, count me in. Those are just the high-level issues, though. Like any economy, I do not think that there is a free market in-game that even supports that. Vendors would need to be overhauled, running valuations would need to be made on all items in-game, and the system would need to adapt, because of things like Xur. (Seriously, how much are Sunbreakers worth now? Two, maybe three Glimmer?).[/quote] [b]Edit:[/b] Original response for context: http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/88862323/0/0/1

Just no

And then we'll have sites! £10 Ghorn trade for a universal remote!

Don't forget planetary materials exchange too.
