I agree that you should be able to trade. It should be a trade not giving away like people are thinking. It would break the game to give some one a bunch of legendary and exotic for literally nothing. But if you are trading a legendary for a legendary or a exotic for an exotic, i see no way this can ruin the game. For example my buddy has a gally and i have a vex. He has been farming HVoG over 40 times and still does not have it. I have been farming hard raids for the gally and praying that xur, by some miracle, is selling it. It would be fair to trade my exotic vex for his exotic gally. Now the trade some strange coins or glimmer to your friends for the gear would break the game because at that point you would be giving away the gear. But there should definitely be something to do with ascendant materials. Seriously what am i going to do with 200+ ascendant shards? Maybe make it where you can buy them from your friends like one strange coin for 5 ascendant materials. Now with the people afraid of selling the exotics on pay pal if it is the trade an exotic for an exotic this would discourage the pay pal peeps, not completely get rid of it. Why would a person buy an exotic with actual money when they have to give up an exotic as well, again it will discourage not crush the idea. These types will always prevail, they have done it/currently doing it in WoW, they are currently doing it for HCE, and they will most likely do it for the upcoming content as well. Of course this is just my opinion for a working player trading. But if someone in bungie reads this, if you do player trading do it right or not at all.
