ArenaNet:Guild Wars 2 suggestions/Tradable armor

Idea (Discussion)

People can trade armor to each other and be able to wear it. For instance, if 2 warriors come walking by hating their armor but like each others they can trade armor and use it.


 * Why this is a good idea
 * Trading armor would be good if it's loot dropped from monsters.
 * Lets players have more choices.
 * Many of the 'problems' can be solved by adding a level or achievement restriction.


 * Why it may not work out
 * This would allow players to craft armor in later outposts and then return to earlier towns and sell max level armor for extremely high prices
 * Scamming could become an issue.
 * It would unbalance game play and shift the focus towards 'time played' rather than 'player skill'. End game characters would be able to just jump about selling armour to low level characters, thus meaning that even crap new players would have an advantage over the skilled but poorer counterparts.
 * Armor resale would decrease the effect of armor crafting as a gold sink.
 * One size fits all armor would be unrealistic.
