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!

The whole argument against trading is that we shouldn't be able to give new players the good stuff
