Let's look at how this would really end up, Mark, has a spare 320 raid helmet, Tony really wants that item as there rarer than chicken teeth, Mark says, I'll give you 150 legendary marks for it. Tony decides that it's to rare an item for just 150 marks, he wants 150 marks + $5, Mark decides he's not going down that road and tells his friends what happened, One of his friends pm's tony offering to pay his price as he really wants that helmet. The following week tony gets another raid helmet ( lucky git ), He decides that as the first one sold so quickly, this time he'll hold out for $10. And that's how it begins, before long you can buy an entire 320 set of everything off eBay to "jump start your guardian" And if you think it won't , people already offer "carrying" services for Raid, Trials etc, for the cheap price of a "donation" And let's not forget the 1000's of " John didn't give me my xxxxxxx that I paid him $10 for " posts that will start appearing

It won't happen because your system would give freedom to the gamer and Bungie isn't interested in gamer freedom, they are interested in control. They want to control how much and when you can do or gain anything. They see their system as a way of guaranteeing you will keep playing for a certain number of hours per week. They don't want to risk giving the gamers control over progression as they probably think it will make people upgade easier and stop playing sooner. I think a trading system would be more fun as it means you can concentrate on doing the things in the game you like and trade with others to progress

[b]Fwwwop[/b] Magic just happened we all have trading ...... We all hit max level in 72 hours ...... Now what ? Hint : [b]rngesus[/b] is a powerful and unforgiving Goddess but she is there for a reason ..... one day you will understand why ;)

I want Billy, Tony and Mark to get to the grind and get their own gear. We did it and they can to. You can everything you want or need in this game if you just spend the time playing it.
