Anyone want to trade for a ghallarhorn? Oh wait.

Bungie. you know by now what some people want, me included. Some want in-game trading or at least a website in which we can trade within our clan. I know there's the issue with people making deals with money or selling them on ebay, which you do not want to be responsible for if something happens, but there has to be a way to restrict those sites from yourself or cut ties with anything outside your website, app, or forums. I know trading would be time consuming to develop but it would be worth the reaction and good word a lot of people will be giving you. Any of you out there who agree with this, leave a comment saying so or any other ideas you have for it. Just make sure that they make sense. Any of you who don't have anything good to say, pack your shit and leave. [spoiler]I'll see you out in the fields, Guardians. And you Shitheads.[/spoiler]

  • I will start by saying no. As nice as it would be to give my spare Gally to my friend who is the only one in our clan without it, it would just cause problems for the game as a whole. As I write this, one issue I feel has never been mentioned is related to breaking the game economy. Real world trading for items would occur. I know this isn't "new", but bear with me. Being in a clan would net a bigger loot pool while soloing for mad hoarding. Adding trading by any means, would bring forth Virtual Guild banks, or for others, dummy vaults. At least on PS4, don't know it works on XBOX. But as long as you have PS+ on your console, any subsequent accounts you make will be treated as having PS+ and therefore can play the game. That being said, those same accounts could be accessed via anyone who has the appropriate sign in credentials. So, what does this mean. All those "spare" exotics, legendaries, trials weapons, iron banner gear etc would no longer need to be earned in game as the overflow of them would simply just be placed into overdraft. Now, for those who genuinely want to help teammates or clan mates this isn't so bad. But the drive to get better and EARN stuff for yourself is already diminished. Why should I need to do X if my friend is better at X and can get it for me. The ugly side to these dummy accounts, and probably the most dubious uses. Would be for players who don't care about the rules, cheating etc. Take Lag Switchers in Trials for example. They make peoples lives hell then reap the rewards. Players who lost to them submit report and lets say Bungie actually bans them. Well, this is all good. Bungie did their job. However, this usually takes a couple days of work. Chances are, if these dummy vaults were allowed, that gear has already been transferred and now those same Lag switchers can just start over again scott free with all their ill gotten gains. There we have it. Loot laundering in Destiny - now a thing. Maybe this seems a bit extreme. Like who would go to such lengths. But you know what. They would. You know they would. Heck, when the game started you used to be able to buy 3 strange coins from Xur, and people were deleting and making new toons to abuse it. At the end of the day, trading is just going to cause A LOT of headaches. Once again, I'd love to help my friend out and give him my spare gear. But I can't. So you know what I'll do instead?I'll help him or her. I'll play the game. Have some laughs. Have fun together.

  • Thats not a good idea. Why should new players be able to get the best possible weapons from their friends?

        • Literally every poll that I have seen on here about trading ends up going against trading by a landslide. So no trading.

          • Being able to trade is not good it will zap the fun out of the game. If you're having fun that is. Diablo3 awesome game but everyone has everything and it sucks.

            • With the current RNG trading is never gonna Gonna happen so stop asking for it. It's to easy to get everything in this game anyway, all you want is for your friend to trade you one of his gallys Smh

              • What? Who? No we don't. Maybe less than 1% of the player base wants that. It may quell your short sighted struggle like getting you the weapon you crave but it would ruin the game in the long run.

                  Trading is a horrible idea. First off I saw that you told other people if you don't want trading you wouldn't have to use it. It would effect everyone that is a fact. First off people wouldn't have to play the game to acquire gear. Regardless of what you think of rng at Least now you know someone had to play the game to get what they have. If you implement trading the main thing it would create a huge black market where's people sell And buy items for real money. You don't think that will effect the entire game and community? Destiny would get targeted for hackers and fishers because now everyone's account has a real money value. They would try and hack accounts to sell of their gear for real money. I've seen it In plenty of other games. Trading would absolutely destroy destiny and it will never ever be implemented

                        • A lot of people ask for a trading system which would ruin the loot system. Instead, maybe they should add a trading system. Let's say you are playing vault of glass hard and atheon teleports someone without an oracle disruption weapon. You could press a button and give them your fatebringer. When they are done you press the bottom again and get it back. Or wait out the time limit you set before hand in the settings. I say the max should be 10 minutes and the cool down 30 minutes. This is because I wouldn't want people abusing the system. They would have to save it for important moments. Lending should also only be for people in your fireteam. I think this could work and shut up the people wanting a trading system.

                            Why are the majority of these comments so antagonistic and arrogant? [b][i][u]Read the -blam!-ing post[/u][/i][/b] you numbskulls. He [b][i][u]clearly[/u][/i][/b] states that if they decide to incorporate trading they must do it without any chance for weapons to be able to take value in currency. I'm surprised OP hasn't freaked out yet about all the same comments...

                                    • Meh idk. Id like to trade stuff, mainly shaders and what not but otherwise I doubt they'll add it. Even then people are already charging for "services" like PoE and ToO. I'm not against it by any means but they don't have enough in game inventory floating to be traded. Not that there aren't many items just not many openly available.
