I'm sure you all read all the post about trading and its benefits and it's downfalls so I'll skip right to my personal ideas. Option 1: make some kind of cost on each trade for example , it's trade cost 5 motes of light , or maybe more like exotics could cost 10 and legendaries could be around 5. Option 2: once the trade is successful the item would revert back to being completely un upgraded and would have to be upgraded completely again by its new owner. Option 3: certain items can be on a ban list like for example raid armor , and certain weapons like the vex , this would keep people grinding for desirable loot while still having the benefits of trading for items to help them gain that loot. I truly believe if they implement all of these options trading would not be game breaking enjoyable and fun , adding the cost will stop people from abusing it, adding the re lvling will force people to still Lvl what ever it is they receive so they wouldn't just be handed say a fully upgraded G-horn , and adding a ban list for certain items like raid armor would still make players grind for the games rarest items . They could also add a new page to the forums for just trading which would add a lot more communication and friend making. Please share your ideas , thoughts , comments , suggestions , and bump so more people could see , trading would only make the game more fun. Edit: suggestion from Campbell5214 Yes trading but no armor maybe and also let's say you can only trade through XÛR so whatever guns he has for upgrades is what you can sell.- share your suggestions guardians Edit: suggestion from severCD Feel like you should be able to trade within your raid group if someone gets something they already have, like the vex. -share your suggestions guardians
