Well then you've got the wrong idea, you just can't expect it to be easy like that. You need to earn your loot in Destiny. If your friend has duplicated or unneeded items, he can dismantle them. If he has a cool exotic but it's not as good as his other one, then he can store it. It's not about getting a gin from a friend, it's about working alone or together to get loot like that.
