Now, I know a lot of people would kill for this to happen. Being able to trade those pesky duplicate exotic drops, or faction gear that your friend wants, but is too lazy to level that vendor. And we can't forget about the friend who just got the game; we need to get him "up to par" A.S.A.P. so we can make Omnigul scream for another reason. But think about it, a trading system wouldn't only ruin "The Destiny Experience" but it would ruin the satisfaction of those hard earned hours inside Crotas End. Yeah, it's frustrating getting that second "No Land Beyond" from the exotic chest, while you've been praying to the Destiny gods for that long deserved "Gjallarhorn". Doing crazy rituals like [i]waving[/i] milliseconds before you open a chest/completing a nightfall, or emptying all of your ammo into the sky hoping someone will answer your call. But it's not just the rituals and silly things we do for higher chance of loot, but that pressure building relief once that last exotic piece we needed appears on the right hand side of our screen. If we add a trading system (in Playstations case), users will be able to make multiple online accounts with 3 more of the same guardian, trading gear from a main to a secondary, running end level content and receiving (potentially) unlimited rewards/loot drops. Now, you ask, why would that affect the Xbox side of things? And quite honestly, it wouldn't. But for the YouTube commentators and collectors on Microsoft's console, obtaining content would be so much more difficult! Trying to compete with someone allowed 10 separate accounts is like, dressing up as a blindfolded flamingo, attempting to rodeo on a pack of hungry wolves. And you may be thinking, "If someone does make multiple accounts all Lvl 20, then they deserve those benefits". But why even let someone have that advantage? Some of us gamers don't have the time to play majority of the week, and instead of causing more problems. The limit to 3 guardians - 1 account - shared loot is a good design on Bungies part. Creating a trading system could benefit a lot of the impatient players. Allowing that glorious exotic gear to be tossed around like another uncommon item. Easily receivable if you know your way around. Completely removing the luck and prestige one needs to receive top tier goodies. Collectors and n00bies alike, we can all agree that the bright golden aura, illuminating our weapons and gear, makes us smile just a bit more. In knowing that, this is it, this is the weapon the community has been talking about, this is where all my life and grey hairs have come from. So let's keep it that way, we shouldn't succumb to our own greed for gear. Keep grinding out those weeklies and doing those rituals. And hopefully, bungie will make the in game vault easier to access... Keep up the good work and happy hunting Guardians. Additional notes: [b][u]Jan. 15th 2015[/u][/b] I've seen some pretty good ideas thrown out there so far. Some even enough to persuade my thinking. But so many people are repeating ideas and asking questions that have already been answered below. Someone earlier had posted a great idea for a compromise. Where people can get a type of trading system they're asking for. But with limitations. [b]Read below[/b]: [quote]i think they should add a type of trading. Allow trades of any loot you get from an event (raid/nightfall/crucible) between anyone else for any of the loot they receive in that event. This would ensure people couldn't hoard exotics and sell them later. Couldn't overpower noobs. Couldn't trade between accounts (unless you had 2 systems and either someone else playing or a patient team that didn't mind carrying a lane duck). But would allow people that get multiples to trade that to people that didn't. Like last week. Got a300 power ghorn from vog. Already have a331 maxed out, so i really have no use for it. Would have gladly traded it to someone on the team that had been wanting one. Or this week when i got 2 found verdicts when i beat the Templar. 2. Same drop. Bs right? Would have traded then both for the hell of it because i already have 3. Same with visions. An after event trade system would actually only make the game better and make the craptastic loot system a little more forgiving.[/quote] - minion630 This proposition, mixed in with a few other ideas could be a possibility to make this happen. And I'm all for input, so keep throwing out ideas. I love the positive activity on this thread. Keep it up Guardians, and I hope to see you on Patrol.
