THE ANSWER TO PLAYER TRADING
Every time someone brings up player trading, people always come up with crap excuses about how it will "break the game". In this thread, I will slaughter all excuses about why it shouldn't be implemented
Tl;dr at bottom
[spoiler]don't make me kick your ass bungie[/spoiler]
Excuse #1: level 20 players will be max 32 if people give them armor and fučk all the people that had to grind and raid for months to get
SOLUTION: only allow trading of items of the same rarity. For example, let's say I get 2 hard lights from vog and I already have a bunch of primary exotics, but for some reason, I can never get any other weapon type (this is my crurrent situation). Now let's say some other dude is the opposite of me. He has 3 plan c's and cannot seem to get the exotic he really wants, hard light. So, simple, we trade an exotic for an exotic. We both get what we want, and probably end up playing destiny more, since we're happy. Bungie is happy because that's two players that are now more happy with destiny than they were before. Activision is happy because those are two dlc-buying players (potentially) that are playing their game, as opposed to say, getting bored and quitting.
Excuse #2 there will be sites like destinyexotics247.com
SOLUTION: if you can only trade the same rarity, those sites would become obsolete because, why would you pay money to trade an exotic for an exotic, especially considering you can do that for free. You wouldn't. Problem solved.
If you can think of any more excuses for why trading shouldn't be implemented, please comment below and I will proceed to conquer them.
Tl;dr- only allow trading for items of the same rarity, like an exotic for an exotic ect.

In response to your "Excuse #2", all items of same rarity are simply not equal. Those sites would not be obsolete, in the slightest, as getting any Exotic to trade for a desirable Exotic is still not hard to do. It only take a few Strange Coins to buy whatever is on sale that week, and have some pile of garbage to trade for what you actually want. Spend 13 SC on whatever the cheap armor is for the week, pay someone a few dollars to actually trade that soon to be Exotic Shard for what they have to sell. Even if you go Exotic Weapon for Weapon, it is only a few more coins to do the same thing. People do not want Exotics just because they are an Exotic, but they desire specific ones. Basic tenant of supply and demand, and your solution still leaves those unbalanced. Economies are complex, and you simply will not achieve a fair and balanced system without a robust and well-implemented economy. That is just basic economics, and if you leave any opportunity at all, for the in-game and real-world economies to intermingle, they will. You would have more luck getting Bungie to add something more akin to an auction house, than a trading system. At least an auction provides a quasi-economy, in that it becomes regulated by public participation. However, you would still need to uncap whatever type of currency is used in that scenario, as people will always want to spend more than someone else.
