Speaking to GamesRadar , associate creative director Julian Gerighty said "priority of different features" took precedence over trading. "It's the reality of production. Some features make it, some features don't," he said.Last week, creative director of Ubisoft Massive Magnus Jansen announced that Tom Clancy's The Division would have free updates and paid post-launch DLC . This is where, presumably, player-to-player trading could "make an appearance in the future," Gerighty said, mentioning that it's "something that obviously some people are very passionate about."The Division's player trading system was announced at E3, where, coincidentally, another feature was scrapped— the game's companion app , which was originally announced when the game was revealed in 2013. The app was cut because it "created an imbalance" that compromised gameplay.Tom Clancy's open-world RPG is set to release on March 8. It was announced last week that the game's beta will open for Xbox One from January 28 to January 31, and will run from January 29 to January 31 for PlayStation 4 and PC. For guaranteed beta access, you'll have to pre-order The Division. Those not interested in pre-ordering can register on the beta website , though there is no guarantee that you'll get in.
