Trade option will lead to RMT and I don't want them screwing up Destiny

I think it will work if it's done right. The share/trade system in Dead Island works great and no one ever complains about it. You can trade with each other and give things to one another but if your not at the lvl to be able to use it then it just sits in your inventory until you get to that lvl. People say "you need to earn everything". Well I pretty much played the beta with the same friend every time I played. I never once found a green, upgradable auto rifle. He on the hand found a bunch. We did missions, strikes and the story multiple times. I more then earned one but because the loot is random I just never got one. If there was a trade system he could have very easily given one to me after we both "earned" our loot from something. Loot drops only come after you've done something to earn it. If I'm going to trade someone something than I've earned something and so have they. There should be no reason I should not be able to trade something with a friend or fire team member.

I vote no, simply because it's a massive waste of time. there are -no- items I've ever heard of that you cannot get yourself. I get that some folks don't have limitless time to grind for the random rare drop, and it's frustrating to see your team mate using a grey when you have a green you'll never use. BUT: that being said, if you don't have that much time to play (come on, it took me two days to have all greens, once I picked my class) then having a better weapon isn't going to help, AND it strips you of whatever satisfaction you might have gotten from actually acquiring it yourself. edit: that came out harsher than I meant it to, sorry, but I stand by it. a few thoughts: lower level gear (adjusted by current level of both players and gear rarity) could be traded, while locking higher level gear, like was suggested below, just enough to trade out a grey, or level equivalent. I could certainly see a soldier handing a squad mate a better weapon off the ground, if they're wielding a stick, but not a legendary they spent months obtaining. even with that logic, I say no. I hate to be cruel abt it, but if you can't get it yourself, you're doing something wrong, and -that's- what needs fixed. trading items won't help. edits the second: I still stand by this. it's a shortcut for people who either can't (for reasons outside the game world) or won't earn/grind the items themselves. you're playing the game for them (and there are situations where that's okay). do whatever, lol, just keep it out of my instance please ;)

Bungie has still spoken. [url=http://i.imgur.com/FMDHZ8r.jpg]Doctor Nope[/url] has arrived.

In my opinion if they do enable 'trading' the game will come something similar to PC mmorpg's like RuneScape where a player can do all the hard work and another player that has done no work but has enough glimmer will be able to buy it off them. I think each player should have to work for their gear. Anyway that's just my opinion :)

I could understand a tiny fraction of trade if it were only between fireteams or a clan, but only for certain circumstances. .. (Friend needs a heavy weapon for this strike, loans him a heavy machinegun but only one that fits his level and requirements. Or there could be a clan vault that only a few members have access to, and it could be as an emergency cache. I'm not too bothered either way, but would probably keep it very restrictive, since the loot and your journey in the wild is unique. ..

I voted for sharing loot but Bungie needs to proceed with caution on it. Maybe they lock all rare and above guns to the player while uncommons and commons are tradable. That way, you could help your friend at a lower level with getting some decent guns so he/she is not dragging you back too much, but also give them the chance to feel the satisfaction of getting the rare loot themselves.

I really enjoyed borderlands, and that didn't necessarily have a trading system but you could drop items you wanted to give. And I feel like that worked out great

What do you even mean by sharing loot ? if you can drop or trade loot ... Sure... But if you mean shared drops then no ... I can't stand ninja looter and loot whores or Borderlands style first there get everything.

Bungie has said before that they want special loot items to show that this player has been through this shit to get it, trading would ruin that, so I vote no. I could see trading with loot that's not legendary or exotic though.

Ill say it again, a limit of trades per month. if bungie were cool they'd have interactions/activities and a market in old russia but doubtful. selling buying might be too extreme but gambling glimmer points and having limited trade would be cool. none of which will happen because game developers usually dont listen to anyone and they usually dont do anything that cool in games.

I voted no because all loot drops are specific to your character, meaning you never get drops for titan unless you play as titan, never get warlock gear unless you are warlock , the same I'd true for hunter, so what are you sharing? I even noticed that I would open chest with squad mates and they'd get something completely different than I would, we'd kill bosses and they would get an engram and I didn't and vice versa. Unlike borderlands this game drops loot that is intended for the player not just random items in a loot table. So I really don't understand why players are asking for shared loot if all loot is specific to your character.

I'd like the ability to trade/give stuff when it comes to loot sharing. In particular selling an item would be a better way to get rid of good items than deconstructing it for five glimmer and upgrade material.
