No trading is good. What about gifting?
During today's nightfall, I received my 6th (or 7th?) Gjallarhorn as my reward.
Now, I *DO* think trading would break the game. But what about gifting? To people like my RL little brother, or clan mates?
Thoughts would be appreciated
Edit: if you could, what would YOU gift, and to who?
Edit 2: 100+ comments. Keep ideas/thoughts coming in.
Edit 3: this is meant solely for gifting, yet the line between it and trading is becoming very thin.
Edit 4: it's 1:15am my time. Going to bed. See you all bright and early, east coasters!
Edit 5: almost 200 replies. Thank you for your thoughts and comments!
Edit 6: approaching 300 comments. Let's keep it going.
Edit 7: redundancy. People seem to be against 3rd party black market systems stemming from this. 2 part rebuttal:
1. There are ways to incorporate this-whether it's during the Post-Game rewards screen, or through clan members/PSN friends only after a certain window of time, etc.
2. This black marked system is unfortunately already in place. Namely, in ToO. I know of several beneficiaries from this, who will run people through. Gifting would be *much less* harmful to the game.
Edit 8: people do not appreciate the true nature of a gift, as its defined. Nothing will be given in return. Nothing will be expected as a favor. People are greedy, sure, but you cannot sit here and tell me that activision/Bungie is not also without its overhead in mind.
Edit 9: coming close to 400 replies. Let's get this thread trending. Thank you to all who have replied, whether it's in favor or against.
Edit 10: 500+ replies!

Edited by Shadow Of Sol: 7/16/2015 3:48:58 AMTrading would be better since gifting could technically be used as a trading system

I think playing with who ever you wanted to Gift something to would be better than actually Gifting. I know it's a long and tedious task to wait for RNG to bless you, but when that drop comes... You have nothing to do after lol.. This game is a Slot Machine with a "story" (if you will) If you already have the jackpot then there's no need to play for the jackpot again until a better jackpot comes along

I could see a need/greed system for this...

1 ReplyEdited by o0DELTA FORCE0o: 7/16/2015 1:58:53 AMI agree, I will be starting a website called www.destinyelitegear.com $250 per gjallarhorn I like this idea!

That'd be cool. Sent it to your fireteam friends within the party only. Have an icon saying send it as a gift. And you'll see a cool animation of a present being wrapped, and press send it to their gamertag banner icon. Then it'll ask them to check their postmaster. But you can only gift it once a week so that it wouldn't break the game so to speak.

5 RepliesI would trade 2 Gjallerhorns for a single Revenant shader.. Any takers?...

Yeah i think that if you trade you have to give them something of equal rarity like exotic for exotic

1 ReplyTrading would NOT break the game. Make it Exotics for Exotics and Legendaries for Legendaries. I cannot count how many times I have done nightfall with some friends and they got an exotic I need while I got what the exotic they need. If I run nightfall and get my 9th Thunderlord, I DONT NEED IT. And if my buddy I ran it with gets a Hawkmoon (which I need) and he doesn't have a Thunderlord, we SHOULD be able to trade. It's not gonna break the game because we're trading guns that are equally good (exotic) Running Nightfall and Raids just to keep getting the same exotics I already have is a waste of time. This loot system is so crap it NEEDS trading

Gifting sound like a fun idea. I'd be down with it
-
That would be worse than trading IMO.

1 ReplyWell then you deal with people gifting each other items which is the same as trading.

Trading would not kill the game if implemented correctly. Yes, of course, limitless trading with whomever you want whenever you want would probably kill Destiny, seeing as there are not that many items that would be worth trading in any way. But the real problem that trading is probably not going to come is that people play destiny mainly because they want the rewards. They grind in the slot machine every week to have a chance at what they want, and they dont get it and try again next time. If you just give people the thing they want most through a trade, they might stop trying. While I am not quite sure about the trading , I think maybe an auction house would be cool. The only problem is, that compared to other games glimmer in itself is so useless that even 25000 would not be enough for most weapons or armor. The currecency in this game is too limited in carrying, not useful enough and being undermined by too many other things that you can trade for other things and use for other things and wont be needed anymore at some point so... I don't know. The system barely works at it is, lol.

2 RepliesWhy would trading kill the game? People are leaving because the RNG isn't in any way fair.

Sure. "I will send my Hawkmoon as a gift. Let's hope he feels the same about sending his Red Death as one asweOH HE DOES, HOW NICE OF YOU"
-
How is gifting better than trading ? The main reason for trading not being available is because of unfair traded and streamers/youtubers abusing this mechanic. Gifting would be worse

1 ReplyEdited by TattooedFox: 7/15/2015 4:43:34 PMI've thought of an idea that might work. Give the option to trade items as soon as they drop at the reward screen but once you leave that's it. You also have limited time to make your decision. Example: Doing a weekly Nightfall. Player 1 gets a Gjallarhorn, player 2 gets Hawkmoon, player 3 gets The Ram. Player 2 wants the Gjallarhorn, player 1 wants the Hawkmoon, player 3 is happy with what they got. Players 1 & 2 agree to trade their drops there and then but if they wait too long or leave, that's it. This would fix the issue of people saying they've had something like 10 Gjallarhorn's or whatever dropping but are missing a particular exotic. Just throwing an idea out there. What do you guys think?

I wish at the end results of whatever you're doing you could trade rewards with someone. I am lucky enough to get the vex mytho atleast 2 times a month but struggled to get the ghorn for the longest time. my friend was in the opposite situation lots of ghorns no vex. We did vault and of course I got the vex and he got a gjally. We were both upset and wish we could trade rewards with eachother. It be nice if they had a system where you request to trade rewards and someone could either accept or decline. (Incase anyone cares I got my gjally two weeks ago and my friend finally got his vex last night).

1 ReplyWhat's the problem with trading? There's no story to the game so people wouldn't be missing out on that if they are higher level. Sure some people wouldn't earn to get their loot but whose just gonna give people stuff they don't want? They can make it so you have to trade an exotic for an exotic and it would help out the trading economy because everything is RNG. Trading would give it more MMO like aspects like most of the people wanted.

I would gift my 16th Vex and 12th Fatebringer to my buddy who's done Hard VoG on all 3 characters every week since VoG launched and still has neither.
