As I see it (Destiny)

There are three categories of vault users (though two are very similar):

• people who have no alts therefore never need to share weapons
  
• people who have alts but rarely share
  
• people who share regularly

Making it easy to share weapons does not have a massive impact on people who rarely or never share.

I think that the suggestions made here make life easier even for people who rarely or never share but just use the vault as storage.

Under that scheme any weapon picked up is in the vault. If no other alt equips it from the vault and you delete the weapon in your character page then the weapon is deleted and is gone from your vault.

Note that you put stuff into and took stuff out of your vault without having to even access the vault.

Imagine you pick up some greens during a strike and delete them in a lull between fights or in orbit. You haven't needed to see your vault, you don't need to care, and the stuff is now gone.

If you pick up a legendary or exotic then it is immediately in your vault without you having to do anything. If you hate the exotic then just delete it in your character screen. It will be gone and it will never bother you again.

If you want to share it with an alt then, when you decide to play as that alt: just equip it from the vault and both characters are now sharing it.

If you want to give it to an alt (say you feel that it doesn't suit your current alt) then just enter the vault and un-equip it. Notes:

• it is already in the vault without you doing anything - the other alt can pick it up when you start playing as that alt
  
• the un-equip just frees up a slot in your current alt's equipped gear slots - this can be done before the other alt picks it up or after (the order doesn't matter)
