Trading mixed with RNG idea

To start off, I'd like it to be known that I am, and have always been, against the idea of basic trading in Destiny. Having the ease of being able to trade anything with anyone would eliminate the point in half of what we spend our time doing in Destiny. The game would be broken if trading was that easy. The tokens in this new expansion gave me an idea for a possible compromise between people who wish to have trading in-game, and those who are against it. What if Destiny players could come across Merchant Medallions, which, when aqcuired, would allow you to trade one item with another person who also obtained a Merchant Medallion? These medallions would be rewarded as RNG drops from endgame activities such as nightfalls, raids, and PoE and Trials. This would force people to still do the endgame activities which give them the chance to drop the item(s) they are looking for, so future trading doesn't appear as a free hand out. The drop rate, of course, would not be terribly high, but somewhere around the average exotic drop rate perhaps. I'm not even 100% certain how I feel about this idea, however I thought I'd throw it out there for people to view and discuss. Share your thoughts and expanded suggestions for this idea below! _________________________________________ Edit 1: Maybe there should be both an Exotic Medallion and a Legendary one. Exotic weapons and gear can only be attached to and traded with the exotic medallion obviously, and would have a lower drop rate than the legendary medallion.

  • Trading wouldn't break the game. I don't see a difference in people who afk in a game and then come back to shoot a rocket at the last boss and are rewarded with an exotic; versus being in a fireteam and your teammate happens to get their 6th ghorn so you trade for it. I think trading should be limited to people in the same fireteam that completed said activity. Rarity for rarity. Upon trading, the weapon would lose all xp progress(if you were to have open trading in the tower). I play with my friend almost every time I get on. There has been times where one of us will get something we either don't want or need, yet can't do anything with it. Then again, Xur has kinda been that person you can go to get your exotics if they don't drop.
