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!

    I'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?
