We remember when people were mad about the fact that you couldn't trade weapons and armour with your friends in Destiny, but really, that particular feature would have put a bullet in the game's lasting power. With that in mind, and with all of the recent comparisons between Bungie's sci-fi adventure and Tom Clancy's The Division, it would appear as though Ubisoft feels the same way about equipment trading in its upcoming open world shooter.
Associate creative director Julian Gerighty told GamesRadar that sharing gear was something that simply didn't make it into the final version of the release. "It's the reality of production. Some features make it, some features don't," he said. "It's something that obviously some people are very passionate about," Gerighty added, before admitting that "it'll maybe make an appearance in the future".
We reckon that's fair enough, but would you have liked to have been able to share your loot with others? Begrudgingly hand over your most powerful rifle in the comments section below.

Why not limit the amount of gears or weapons you can trade per-week or per-month?
Trading gear in Destiny is not something I want in general. Some things I guess could be traded but I don't think 'exotics' or even some of the legendaries should be traded as these are rewards. I think it would cheapen the experience of completing certain activities and the rewards themselves. I earned my Vex, Black Spindle etc. You would see people who have never completed these running around with gear instead of actually doing the activity themselves.
Keeping getting better and better...
It wouldn't work in Destiny there isn't enough loot and all the loot is easy enough to get as it is. The fact that they are restricting trading sound's like there's going to be a small loot pool which doesn't sound great. They should of made just legendary equipment can't be traded or certain level gear maybe, this sound's very restricting not very RPGish at all.
I'm really not bothered about trading...I personally have barely used the feature in the games that do have it. Not quite sure why people are starting to have such a downer on the game especially for really little things like this that in reality have very little impact... that's just my opinion
Yea, trading just leads to a while other host of problems. Once you allow trading you inevitably have people attempting to hack or spam the best gear into the game, ruining the economy. This forces the devs to focus on fixing items in the game rather than improving the game itself.
