Let me explain why trading would ruin this game. I've got some spare Gjallarhorn's lying around. A lot of people will give alomst everything for one. So if i could trade those with other peolple I would have everyting I would ever want within a matter of seconds. This would leave me with absolutely no reason to play, untill the next expansion....... i am not alone in this, and most a lot of players will quit once a trading system is implemented. So it's better for both bungie and the players that a trading system won't be implemented...

Bungle has said they will implement player to player trading eventually. They just have to figure out how it'll work.

Trading Solution so that you cannot abuse it etc: 1. DNAPEX - DNA Print Exchange tool (for trading) costs 30 Strange coins and is bought from Xur. 2. Trading resets all XP earned on the item. 3. Each player needs to have a DNAPEX in order to do any Weapon/Armour trade even if you are just giving a weapon to someone else. Explained further - Seller needs to reset his ownership on the item and the buyer needs to claim ownership with new weapon by use of a DNAPEX. 4. Glimmer and items are freely tradeable however you will still need a DNAPEX item in order to receive Armour/Weapons. But you can trade Heavy ammo for glimmer ETC. 5. Rare/Uncommon/Common Items DO NOT need a DNAPEX item for trades, however Legendary and Exotic items do. 6. The bottom line rule for this whole trade system is that you are essentially giving every player the option to be a temporary Xur Merchant, but with costs to both seller and buyer. The Above solution counters item selling because you will both be burning 20 coins per item trade above legendary grade. Scenarios covered: Real money trading: The key is to make it so you are essentially spending the same time and effort in game regardless of if you pay with real money on top. the 30 coins from both sides means that people are effectively buying a Xur Item. Affects in PVP: The current system is in nowhere based on skill level. Anyone that pretends that it is, just go look at the countless pictures where people with 1 kill 34 Deaths gets an Exotic. There are no PVP Specific Weapons and as such there is no direct affect on pvp from PVEing. Earning vs Buying vs Xur: The current system is complete RNG. If you have gotten a gun from RNG you did not earn it in anyway shape or form. You simply got the item from a randomly generated function. Doing Weekly Coin strikes is no different to rolling a dice except the dice in the weekly coin strike has 6's on each side of the die. To put it into perspective, there are people who have double or even triple my game time and yet they have not obtained the Vex Mythocast or Hardlight. Another perspective is I have done VOG hard a few times and this has resulted in me dropping 6 Vex Mythocasts. Another Important perspective is that a large majority of the people who have GJallahorn now, bought it from Xur in the second week. You are NOT unique for having any weapon in the slightest as we are all just a single dice roll from getting any weapon.(Ignoring Fate-of-Fools) Alternatively: Fix the broken loot system that rewards morons with Gjallahorns and good players with Shitty legendary pulse rifles.
