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!

Trading 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
