Taken from my comment on a post,
Do you want the truth? The ugly truth that no one wants to hear? Well here it is. Those who want trading are literally too lazy to grind the items. That's for SOME people.
The reason why it's illogical to set a trade system is because of the lack of items in destiny. It barely reaches 2000, trade systems are enacted on games with millions of items, because of the broader selection.
Do you know how long this game is supposed to last? We have at least 2-3 more months until HoW, that's plenty of time to get every single item in the game with dedication.
Want to know why BUNGIE won't give you trading? Because they wouldn't be able to stretch out their game. The game was meant to be gradually completed, many players impatiently seek everything within 1 week and don't know what a reset is.
Do you like a game dictated by your dedication to get an item, or the amount of real world money you have to buy it? Because if trading were enacted, you'd see people sell items for profit, and then ANYONE could get everything instantly. You REALLY don't want this.
It won't happen, it can't happen.
Don't get too butthurt about logic, it's there for a reason.

I read on someone else's post that they could implement some kind of blind trading through a NPC third party acting like a handler. I appreciate that this wouldn't address your first points as bungie clearly wants to stretch this game out as much as possible but it would at least stop any PayPal transactions. Perhaps they could implement a system where it was like for like on the rarity and weapon type, or even add a bounty for all trades, this handler might need an incentive to facilitate your trades. That would slow down people gaining weapons but not leave it in the hands of RNG.
