When interacting with another player, we should have the option to trade. Earning gear from strike missions to dismantle them for minimal glimmer isn't much fun.
If we had the ability to share items, it would give a greater incentive for players to continue grinding.

It's the larger picture that Bungie is looking at. The guns you're dismantling are tonka toys compared to the numbers the Crucible and Vanguard guns will be spitting out. The Shingen C is firing 62. A Vanguard weapon is 345. That's a big number for a big big boss. Trading a bunch of level 8 guns is no big deal, but trading Vanguard weapons and gear when players really have to grind for them would be insufferable to many and would devalue the effort for acquisition.
