The division will have trading added to it in a free content update in April.
EDIT: ALSO FROM LAUNCH HAS OPTIONAL MATCHMAKING FOR EVERY ASPECT OF THE GAME
Trading will work as follows;
If you are playing in a squad with people (4 max) and you find a good weapon but your friend needs it, due to him being in yor game when you acquired it you can trade it to him.
If a player isn't in your instance when you found the gear then it can't be traded.
This is a good system that won't spread the whole ruining finding good loot aspect that bungie seems to be worried about as only friends that were with you when you found that gear can get it.
Why destiny still hasn't added player trading like this system I will never understand.
Hell we got a bloody roadmap for all the content currently planed this year in the game..
The weekly update didn't help either, you would think that bungies goal would be to Entice players with juicy info before they leave for a game that will give them the fill they can't find in destiny anymore but nope, silence.
Get yor shit together bungo
Edit: a lot of people seem confused and claim that people will just sell shit on eBay with this trading system but it doesn't work like that.
Say bob and Lucy are on a team together and only just met today, any weapons prior to their meeting can't be traded to eachother. Say bob found an awesome weapon during the game with Lucy, he could trade that to her because they were in the same game when he found it. Lucy leaves and comes back, bob can't trade with Lucy and give her guns from the earlier session since she left so bob must now find guns in the new session to trade with her again.
Then say Kevin joins mid session. Kevin can only trade guns that have been found since HE joined bob and Lucy's session and the same thing happens when he leaves. It's to prevent the whole selling of weapons.
[u][b]Edit 2:[/b][/u] would like to add that yes not everyone likes 3rd person games but there is no reason to talk shit about people that do in the comments. There are many great third person games (mass effect, gears, spec ops the line, tomb raider, uncharted, read dead, GTA, ect).

Yeah Bungie is -blam!-ed. Bye bye destiny.

4 RepliesSo go play division and share some dildos.

Its more loot sharing, than trading...but cudoos to them... I swore off Clansey games a long long time ago...it will probably be free for gold members in a month anyways...

I definitely think trading within destiny would be good ! It would help with the way the 'smart' loot system incessantly give me the same things over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over . . . and over, and over, and over again. I could help the guys in my fireteam get their light levels up as I could trade/give them some of the things I get and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over again. Tldr; and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over again.

5 RepliesSource on this trading update? A link to an official statement?

Its a good system for a game that has as much loot drop as diablo 3 comparatively speaking. It would most likely work the same way. Find loot with a team and you have like X amount of hours to trade with those specific people and then that item will be locked to your character/account.

8 RepliesEdited by MrSkeeZe: 3/4/2016 6:06:31 AMPeople always bring up the divisions 1 year "road map" as a reason why the division is better than destiny. destiny had a 1 year road map too ya know?

1 ReplyI don't think Destiny needs trading.

2 RepliesYou can't drop/send anything from your inventory to make emergency room for loot. Deconstruction is the only way. There is no Postmaster. Dark Zone is uncoordinated PvP (What I mean is there is no "crucible") This trading update comes out a month later after release (game is already getting planned updates and features that should have been in already, but it's okay cause it's The Division and not Destiny) Encounters are not random, so eventually you will complete them all. (Those small missions for your base) These are just a few gripes that I have with the game. I hope that these will just be small bumps in the road, but we'll just have to wait and see.

14 RepliesEdited by sebguts10: 3/4/2016 4:43:38 AMTrading in a game like this is a slippery slope. I guess it's different for a game like The Division where the guns don't come with "rolls" like Destiny, but I don't know. That content roadmap was huge bomb for Ubi to drop. I mean, we did technically the same thing for Year 1 Destiny, but not to this extent. Another example of how The Division is learning from Bungie’s trials. Still not convinced that The Division is going to have the longevity everyone seems to think it does. I’m terrified that every mission is some variation on “Go here. Kill them. Rescue him” and that The Dark Zone is just running around hoping you don’t run into some major shitheads. But this reveal is very encouraging. Might actually get the game now. Not convinced the whole, “Year _” thing that Destiny does will work for The Division. It works in Destiny cuz we know that there are a ton of other threats out in the universe that could show up at any point. In Division it’s… the guys who spread the plague? I mean, we don’t know what the main story leads to, but if we’re still running around an abandoned Chelsea with no idea of what happened this time next year, then The Division is officially a terrible government agency. Just me tho. Your move, Bungie!

2 RepliesWhy trade when you can kill them and get it for fck all . That will get old real quick

1 ReplyFirst of all, how did bob and lucy meet?

2 Repliesshit like that should be in the game the day it drops nice of them to add it, was probably an oversight or just echoing Bungie and Destiny sounds like just more bait, so looks like I'm not getting Devision

Might as well jump! (dun dun dun dun dun...) Go ahead and jump! (Jump!)

1 ReplyWhat about Derek's guns

1 ReplyAnd? So what it has trading and destiny doesn't you know what destiny has a the division doesn't. A fan base which doesn't go on about itself.

For this to work in Destiny a large number of things need to be removed from the loot table. No one is going to want to trade for a sparrow horn, emote, moldering shards and such. I love the idea of the Division and loved the beta. Pre-ordered mine months ago. The idea of trading amongst my fireteam is a good move in the right direction.

Lol division is gonna be a dumpster fire tbh

1 ReplyGenuine question, can The Division be played in first player view?
-
14 RepliesAll this "free content," that's been cut to make you buy a season pass and is going to be added "later." Sounds like... bungie? Your turn ubisoft... your turn.

What is there to trade and for what will we be trading for, glimmer? Caps to low. Other weps with specific rolls? What's the price tag? Things like strange coins an motes might be to important to some. OK so I got a patch A with a sweet ass roll, I want 100 strange coins for it, or 100 motes, or maybe 15k glimmer, any takers?
