Idea for a TRADING SYSTEM (hear me out)...

I have an idea for a trading system in destiny which wouldn't wreck the game. Its your average auction house/exchange, where you can buy/sell/trade. There are limits on how expensive or cheaply you can buy/sell an item for. The BIG CATCH....(wait for it)...you can ONLY trade with the people in your clan. And perhaps you may even need to have the RAIDING PARTY trophy to make it a bit harder to trade. You see, before you all jump on the hate-wagon, the reason bungie are hesitant to implement a trading system is because it would completely contradict the RNG system. But if you could only trade with clan mates (and possibly only once you have the trophy RAIDING PARTY) it would be less of a detriment to the RNG aspect of the game. And besides, the market right now seems to be centered on Vanilla (Pre-DLC) Vendor weapons, which will most likely become useless in the next DLC or too, so don't expect to be bombarded with DREAM RAINBOW LOOT ROBOT UNICORN WEAPONS, because the simple fact is, no one is gonna want them if all they're gonna do is sit in your Vault (aside from the minority of super-intense Destiny obsessed collectors out there). Please, give feedback (constructive criticism welcome). That's all Guardians.

  • Trading would be fine but only for things like weapon parts, other materials and maybe even vendor legendaries. Otherwise, it would result in things being too easy to obtain (even easier than they already are). And to counteract this, Bungie would then reduce drop rates so that on average we're back to where we started except now we are screwing people who don't meet the trading criteria. I get it, you guys want it to be easier to get the things you want. But that is exactly why it shouldn't ever happen. And that doesn't even consider all the ways these various trading ideas will be exploited. For everyone of these ideas people think of to allow trading, there will be ways that it will make the game more toxic. This idea, for instance, would result in people joining massive clans so they can trade. The "only trade with people who were in there with you when you got it idea" would result in LFG posts that require you to already have Gjallarhorn and be willing to trade it if it drops. If you're clever enough to think of an idea for trading, you're likely clever enough to find ways to exploit it. And even if you're not, someone else will be.
