Couple of points here: 1) Trading is fine, and will not ruin the game in any way at all. 2) Every time someone makes a post that says, "Maybe trading would be okay if we added all of these various restrictions," they're basically saying, "Let's not have trading," because the logistics of implementing it are complicated enough without having to include and maintain a bunch of additional restrictions. 3) I'm sure most of the people making these posts are just trying offer suggestions to make the game better, but calling for additional stratification just comes across as selfish. It sounds like, "I personally am sick of being at the mercy of RNG so please give me an out, but keep everyone else trapped in the grind because it should take other people forever to get their stuff." 4) In the Conversations with Creators interview Luke Smith talked about loot drops in their current state feeling too "disconnected" from the world and they were definitely going to address that in TTK. If they are changing the loot system, it is entirely possible (let us hope) that they are backing off the RNG a bit anyway, and undermining it won't be that much of an issue. 5) If they are about to mess around with the loot system, they will no doubt wait and see how that goes before adding anything like player trading, so if something like this does happen it won't be for awhile.
