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.

Theres a simpler solution that will fix a majority of the problems / complaints that arise from the RNG system. Do what WoW did. Open up a 30-60 minute window of trading from when you get an item in the raid. Allow trading only between those in the fireteam at the time of getting the item. Havent gotten the warlock chest yet, and one of your teammates just got his third one? Maybe youll pick up something in the raid run that he/she needs. Boom, trade.
