Please implement trading, like a huge trading markets/market that you can for example trade a gear 8 wedge level 70 for a level 70 gear 8 Bigs or so on so forth. Live trading would also be really cool. I understand there could be problems but it would be so much fun You could also trade things like gear, mods, ect

Just some examples
Its not like it would eliminate that. It would make it easier to get exclusive characters
People don't have to accept the trades
I'm hoping it never happens or if it does that there are a lot of restrictions and definitely no one to one trades.
I understand that and its not like you can trade a level 1 for a level 70 (card) but they could also just do inner guild+ allies
If you haven't played a game with trading, you have no idea what this leads to.
The secondary market will almost completely supplant the games actual revenue stream to the point it could strangle it...
And if you think it's pay to win now...
You ain't seen nothing yet.
If you are thinking how it could work, don't. This concept goes back decades.
Even if it was guild only think about this scenario.
I've been playing over a year. Say I create a new account. Level up 5 chars to level five as fast as I can, doesn't matter what ones. Then I join guilds/ally with my main account. trade the 5 whatever chars for an arena meta team.
My new account can then dominate on its shard until either A, someone else does the same thing B, someone spends a bunch of money to catch up C, people slowly grind there way up to my level.
Also how many players would they loose off the new shard my alt account is now dominating. Lost players means lost potential income for CG.
Also no matter how they set it up it would create a market for people to create a bunch of accounts and sell off its good chars as fast as they can farm them. This submarket would destroy the game and CG would then have to track this submarket and its own crystal value otherwise why spend in game when you can get it cheaper from people on reddit or ebay or wherever else people sell in game currencies for games for profit.
It will be abused and farmed. Can we trust then to close all the loop holes?
Agreed. Although it sounds ideal, the negative ramifications would just be the end of this game.
If anything along these lines, allow shard donations.
Gear donation seems a bit low in quantity especially for higher tiered gear. I wish we can do we trade within the guild. For example, an equivalent purple gear on a 1:1 ratio basis. I noticed that in my guild some people lacked what I have lots of, and vice versa.
Shard donations would be the worst, alt account farming would be crazy.
I think the best thing to counter alt account farming is to set a level requirement to use. Setting it higher even to level 85... would surpress that motivation.
I agree there are many solutions. But can we really trust them to close all the loop holes. We have seen many "obvious " exploits pointed out hours after they release content.
So you don't want my Ugnaught?
That's why TOS are created and updated
What?
Where in any game do you have a legal right to do anything, the game doesn't let you do?
I guess you could compare this to a trading card game but there is no trading, and we don't deal cards......so, yeah.....
Read the terms of service, specifically the part about content and entitlement.
You actually own nothing it's not your digital property, you're just using an EA service.
If I spent $100 on a force awakens bundle, don't I own those characters as my digital property?
No, read the terms of service.

Nope, you "own" the game. When you play a game and buy a digital download, that doesn't give you any right to sell any content....
