I'll be 100% honest. If they straight up told us what happened to the story, and why they tore it to shreds before release(as well as why their lead story guy quit very near the release)..I would have 10x more respect for them. If they would simply say "We realize you want to be able to talk to other guardians, trade loot, have a colorblind mode, be able to actually FREE roam the environments without getting a "turn back now" message, and we are planning on fixing these things (OR simply say, "this is not what we want in our game, even though you, the games want it) I would be satisfied. But passive comments like "your voice is heard", while nothing is being done is quite frustrating.

  • Not all of that is wanted. There is a huge split of people that want trading versus people who don't, for example. My Heart of Praxic Fire made me soooo damn happy when I finally got it off an exotic engram from Xur. It would have been lame to simply trade my useless exotic titan chestpiece for the Praxic Fire. It would have taken a lot of the excitement out of getting a new piece that I've wanted for so long. Trading would make this game boring quickly. In a game where gear and weapon accrual is a big part of the game, and often crucial and time consuming, why in God's name would you want to be able to get it all immediately through trading? Then what? Also, consider the millions they see playing for the same amounts or longer each day. Then consider the measly hundreds or maybe thousands that gripe on the forums. Bungie is not going to give every child with a keyboard what they want. They are going to try to improve on what is already clearly working well, and attempt to fix what isn't. I think they've been fairly more communicative than any other game company I've dealt with.

  • If trading is implemented, no one will force you to trade anything.

  • True. But it takes a lot of time away from anybody who plays this game. Would you have wanted to trade your way up from level 5 to a level 20? Or did you enjoy getting there yourself? That's my point. It seems like a cop out for people who want the easy way out. Why does everybody want to finish a game so quickly these days? Am I the only one who thinks it's fun to put in the time and feel the satisfaction of achievement? I'm glad there's still a few exotics I don't own. If I had every gun and gear in the game, then it just turns into another battlefield or COD, where's there's nothing left to do but kill each other and mow down enemies, with nothing else to work towards. Maybe some people want that, but sure sounds boring to me. In fact.... doesn't sound like Destiny to me at all.

  • I completely agree. But for those of us who don't have infinite time to play the game l, and have been doing the raid as much as possible to try and get raid gear, only to get shaders and cloaks....I'd be 100% ok with trading with a friend who just did the raid with me and got the hunter raid gear i need, while i just got ascendant shards for the umpteenth time.

  • Well it would be useful if they could limit trading to level 28's and up, or something like that. That way, people have already likely gotten good at the game. I would hate to play a strike with a couple of level 29s who have the skillset of level 22s just because they traded their way up. I suppose that's my other main concern. But I see no problem with what you're talking about, just like I wouldn't mind getting warlock raid gloves from a buddy who has multiples, maybe in exchange for one of my multiple Patience and Time rifles or something like that (well..... before Xur sold it, that is... lol) But yeah, trading would help me out in some situations, sure; however, I still think it's such a rewarding experience to finally get that drop when you've been waiting so long. And to limit the no-skill people that want to trade their way to the top? A minimum level restriction could be implemented like I suggested. That's the only way I'd feel decent about trading being allowed.
