Some people want a trading system in Destiny. Sure, it would be nice to give your friend that second Legendary Pistol you have, but what would that do to the game? Diminish how special these items are.
If you find something incredible, like the "Strength of the Pack" Cloak, you'd want to have a story to go along with it. Instead of "uh, my friend gave it to me", you can say you took out the ENTIRE Citadel on Venus BY YOURSELF.
That's what Destiny is about. Not sharing rare loot you found with everyone, but making your own path, your own [b]Legend[/b]
I for one want to earn my loot, not breeze through the game and be given all the good stuff, then get bored and quit.
So let's get #earnyourloot trending on BNet. Let's follow Destiny's original purpose, to share war stories and marvel at each other's accomplishments.
Burn Brightly, Guardians.
EDIT: Well......we're trending. HECK YES!!!!!!

I like the idea of people not being able to get gear by being given it. I do however think that it would be nice to have a feature like SWTOR does where if you get an item in a raid or flashpoint you can trade it with someone in your group. I think it would be coil if you got engrams from the raids that gave exotics and you could trade those engrams among group members for a short period of time, but you would have to trade an exotic engram for another exotic engram. Of course this might be hard to implement, and I'm fine with the no trade system. As long as no one can be geared up by their friend I'm good.
