Bungie not ruling out player item swaps in Destiny

Players have long been asking for Bungie to introduce some form of item swap feature, so that players can trade their high level gear in Destiny. While they're not planning on implementing something, that doesn't mean that the studio aren't at least having the conversation.

During the recent House of Wolves livestream (that you can read much more about here) Bungie's Christopher Barrett said: "It's something we're... there's downsides to it and there's upsides."

"The investment designers... there's a lot of conversations I'm sure that happen about that. We're always considering features like that," he said. "Personally, I'd prefer not to have player trading. But you'll get different opinions across the entire team."

There's nothing more frustrating then getting a cool piece of armour, but it then being for a different class and therefore unusable. At the same time, the current system means that great class-specific gear is even more valuable when you can get it. Would a swap system devalue late-game gear, or would players prefer to have more options? That's the question.
