I don't think trading is a bad idea at all but what I think would backfire is noobs not doing the raid and there friends giving them the extra gear. If you're going to implement a trading system you would have to put a lock on the raid gear until that person completed the raid. If you gave them a gun or helmet only unlocked in the hard raid they would have to complete that and so on and so forth.

Well you could implement a more sophisticated gear lock on gear - Assign level values to each tier of gear, with raid gear having its own tier - and make the trading system so that you can only trade within your tier

That wouldn't make sense why would I trade raid gear for raid gear...I'm not trying to make it complicated I'm just saying to put a lock on raid gear until people have completed the full thing at least once.

Edited by TigBits: 11/10/2014 2:35:23 PMI just meant that this would prevent noobs from getting gear instantly from friends Lets say I got a gun/chest piece from the raid. With my method, I can now trade either item for the boots i need - just an example - Or they dont have to make raid gear its own "class" make it on equal trading terms with exotics -The problem with putting a lock on until they complete the full thing once is that all they need to do is complete the normal raid once, and then they could potentially level all 3 chars to 30 without running the raid again - since the lock is removed, they trade whatever items for enough gear from their clan and vault it in order to gear their alts as well as themselves - bungie would never go for that

Gear will be level locked Raid gear can only be traded if youre lvl 28+ (meaning you already beat raid and have some gear)
-
You can be a 29 without doing the raid once. Just upgrade your regular legendaries fully. That still defeats the purpose of people doing the raid and just handing out gear.

Fine then we will go with your idea haha
