The division will have trading added to it in a free content update in April.
EDIT: ALSO FROM LAUNCH HAS OPTIONAL MATCHMAKING FOR EVERY ASPECT OF THE GAME
Trading will work as follows;
If you are playing in a squad with people (4 max) and you find a good weapon but your friend needs it, due to him being in yor game when you acquired it you can trade it to him.
If a player isn't in your instance when you found the gear then it can't be traded.
This is a good system that won't spread the whole ruining finding good loot aspect that bungie seems to be worried about as only friends that were with you when you found that gear can get it.
Why destiny still hasn't added player trading like this system I will never understand.
Hell we got a bloody roadmap for all the content currently planed this year in the game..
The weekly update didn't help either, you would think that bungies goal would be to Entice players with juicy info before they leave for a game that will give them the fill they can't find in destiny anymore but nope, silence.
Get yor shit together bungo
Edit: a lot of people seem confused and claim that people will just sell shit on eBay with this trading system but it doesn't work like that.
Say bob and Lucy are on a team together and only just met today, any weapons prior to their meeting can't be traded to eachother. Say bob found an awesome weapon during the game with Lucy, he could trade that to her because they were in the same game when he found it. Lucy leaves and comes back, bob can't trade with Lucy and give her guns from the earlier session since she left so bob must now find guns in the new session to trade with her again.
Then say Kevin joins mid session. Kevin can only trade guns that have been found since HE joined bob and Lucy's session and the same thing happens when he leaves. It's to prevent the whole selling of weapons.
[u][b]Edit 2:[/b][/u] would like to add that yes not everyone likes 3rd person games but there is no reason to talk shit about people that do in the comments. There are many great third person games (mass effect, gears, spec ops the line, tomb raider, uncharted, read dead, GTA, ect).

Then go play it and trade Oh wait you can't it's not out yet

Edited by bmxmitch1: 3/4/2016 9:53:59 AMI and many others suggested a trading system like this! Where you could trade your items in the fire team you're in, but only in the end-game screen (where you see your stats after a strike). But no, we get twitch streams now. GG bungo

Trading doesn't work in destiny. Not enough diversity.
-
I dont like trading in any form. The second a trade process is allowed, the second it can be modified trough package tranfer from player to player. And yes I mean item duping. I hope Ubisoft has a damn good duping protection or else this is gonna kill the game sooner then the lack of endgame content.
-
Big nerf to fusion rifles. Your turn Ubi..
-
There's not enough items to justify trading. We lasted this long without it, we will be fine. Might be a cool feature but nothing gained nothing lost
-
5 RepliesDoes it have enough loot for trading to be worth it? I know destiny has nowhere near enough crap to implement a trading system. Plus if they did trading, the desticles would realize there's about 10 hours of story content in the game before they have to start grinding
-
1 Replytrading will make the game faster. once it's over, most destiny players will come back. i had the same problem with borderlands. i started with my lv 50 friends. finished the story in one day, lv 50 two days later. dropped it at 28 hours of gameplay and never saw the point to strive for more loot. trading spoils the experience to quickly

19 RepliesDestiny does not need trading. There is nothing that you can trade in destiny that cannot already be earned by just playing the game. Guns, armour, ghost shells. It's all rng, so trading does not make your experience easier. It'll just make it boring. The division has weapon crafting and armour crafting that need certain materials and attachments. These are earned in replayable missions and from loot caches. But it is not rng, infact the harder the mission the better the guarantee goods. Destiny does not have that. You can finish a strike and earn a legendary item.

1 ReplyGranted, it was a beta, but gear doesn't hold the same value in The Division, based on what we've seen so far. It dropped more frequently plus you can buy it at the appropriate level. People just need to stop comparing the two: they aren't the same.
-
That's a pretty good system. Yeah that could work
-
Whats shitty is that my brother got Destiny last week and I got exotic and raid gear drops from the old raids while he got nothing. If they had a system like the division, then I could have just traded the exotics/ old raid gear to him. But nope he gets shards and energies from his very first raid ever. That's how you hang onto new players.
-
3 RepliesI agree that RIGHT NOW destiny doesn't need any trading. Exotics are scrap and easy to get, and everything else is more or less accessible. BUT: If someone got 320 item he'll never give it to you, be assured (I certainly won't).
-
This trading sounds good but i don't think it would ever happen if it was implemented. If only the loot gained in that session can be traded why would someone swap a 320 class item (the one thing everyone needs) for a lower level one of a shotgun or whatever? Even if they have one already, the way it works now is that would be stored for infusion. There are very rare instances say where someone gets boots off a challenge and someone gets gloves, they could swap, but probably not worth the dev time in my opinion.
-
It has matchmaking for everything aswell.
-
I want trading I have 4 320 ghosts (fml) and I want to give some to my friends
-
Destiny was built around the idea that loot was unique to each player. From the ground up that's how it was designed. The demand for trading doesn't change that original design point and changing the game to include it now would be a heavy burden. It's likely to make an appearance in Destiny 2 because of the vocal demand for it but we'll have to wait and see. Even polls here in the forums show that the majority of Guardians do not want trading.
-
Why is everyone trying so hard to justify playing the division over destiny? Its not that serious.

The way you describe it doesn't really sound like trading. More like loot sharing, promoting cooperative team play.

1 ReplyEdited by CitrusTheNile: 3/4/2016 6:08:10 AMThere isn't enough stuff in Destiny to have trading be of any value.

4 RepliesEdited by AJIc3CoLd: 3/4/2016 6:14:00 AMThe Division has trading? Oh yeah? Big fuqing woop! Destiny has a live stream next week on twitch with the audio team! Beat that, skank.

Sure it has some unnecessary grinding, but a lot of it is necessary otherwise we truly would be bored with the game after a day of play.

1 ReplyLoL trying sooo hard

10 RepliesCan still be exploited. Can run a friend through something, give them what they want. Can even have the ability to do the same thing for cash. Example being Bob and John take their new-to-game friend(s) through. Just trade everything they have no use for.
