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).

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.

1 ReplyWow lucy sounds hot is she single

Player trading in Destiny is a stupid idea in its current state.
-
Just stick with the original idea: You can only trade with people in your fireteam [b]during[/b] the reward screen.
-
Trading wouldn't be good for destiny
-
You don't get it do you...destiny is a RNG game meant for the constant "thrill of the kill" adrenaline rush it gives you when you receive the thing your were grinding for.now,if trading was brought in you could have a mass chaos of everyone new person in the game have every weapon in the game automatically same with armor.you could be in a group that gave you that stuff right away because they have to many of that one kind.destiny would be even worse,by a landslide.
-
Thinks about benefits not consequences of trading...how predictable
-
9 RepliesNo trading sucks. If trading was added, idiots would sell exotics on eBay and literally make the game pay to win.
-
So its really just party bound gear.
-
4 Replies"Subscribe to my stream for access to my group for gear trading! $20 per person raffles!" If people don't see [i]that[/i] coming...
-
4 RepliesSo you mean they made it grinding irrelevant, so you can just get handed guns that you don't have. Therefore the game will get boring quicker another reason the division is cardboard An shit af.
-
Destiny doesn't need it because the diversity in the loot isn't that vast. Literally anyone can get everything.
-
2 RepliesBut do they give out boxes of raisins...?
-
8 RepliesCan't Kevin just kill Bob and Lucy and steal their stuff? I remember hearing something about betraying allies and taking their loot.
-
4 RepliesPeople will just take "donations" for runs through high level content to get good gear. Oh, you donated but the person carrying you got the only good gear? He'd always trade it to you for another small "donation".
-
Team trading would have been so good in year 1 of Destiny. Can't count the times I was in a raid group and and someone already had an exotic then the boss dies and they get the same exotic they already had.
-
I will charge $50

Sometimes our tower looks pretty & broom-bot is bamf!

9 RepliesEdited by WiLDRoCKeR334: 3/4/2016 5:00:57 AMI think we can all safely say division will put the nail into destiny's coffin. They already can't keep up with the current games that are out now.
-
There aren't enough actually good pieces of gear to trade in Destiny.
-
So the division has UBISOFT. Relax bungie.
-
Didn't read lulz

3 RepliesBorderlands 2 has a dueling system and duplication glitch. Your move The Division. Umm, UbiSoft. [spoiler]they're making The Division, right?[/spoiler]
-
7 RepliesThe division and destiny are different games...
-
Destiny hasn't added trading because of duplication glitches that are in every game that has trading and no prevention software running on the server

1 ReplyCan't speak highly enough of this system. Intelligently designed to players wont be perfectly geared out quickly over overpowered, but to limit frustration by not getting the drop they wanted. I am very much looking forward to swapping gear with my friends depending on our wants, needs and playstyle depending on what we drop together. Bravo The Division devs.
