Will trading be removed completely in the second season?

Why would it? Just join the SSF faction if you don't want to trade.

No? Just join or don't join the merchants faction depending on if you want to trade or not

They only removing direct trade between 2 characters. Auction (merchants guild faction) and gifting items to party members will be there.

Ok I had never heard of this, why are they removing trading? Especially between friends? I don't always play with my friends and like to trade at will, so that is going away?

Apparently according to their internal statistics player to player trading was almost exclusively used to facilitate real world cash trading. As in paying money for in game items.

But between friends is not ok? like people you've played a thousand hours with?

You can gift items to each other if you have been playing in the same lobby in co op, but no they are removing player to player direct trading. Probably because the devs like many others game developers feel uncomfortable about grey market trading.

They should allow people that have played 100 hours together to trade freely, no RMT between me and my buds. Seems like a simple solution. Pretty sure gifting you have to use the tokens right?

Trading will be the same as it always was. Either via the Merchant guild or via the gifting system.
Note the gifting system uses items called Resonances that drop while playing with the other player and has the player name attached. If you play a lot with someone you will have plenty of these Resonance items.

A better system would just be free trading between friends, the tokens are kind of a pain.

Thats kinda how it works already. Depending on how much time you've spent playing with each other you can get resonance which lets you gift items to each other.

This would still likely allow for grey market trading, which is what they explicitly don't want.

Not that there isint a solution, but any solution implemented would be abused by bad actors.

Ya but Resonances are limited, I use up the resonances fast.

^This!

Just let us trade freely with anyone we've spent a good chunk of hours playing with, don't punish legit players just because some people are going to use RMT. This isn't even going to stop the people who want to do RMT anyway, it's as impossible as stopping aim bots in shooting games.
