to respond to your general question, No. I don't trade items. I'll occasionally drop some stuff to the ground for others if I can't make use of it and they indicate that it's something that would benefit their character.
As for my benefiting from other higher level characters. It's simple really. I play in some, but VERY few public games. Probably 90% of my gaming is done solo, in a private game I start and password. I have yet, to ask for someone elses help in defeating a particular boss. As for those times where I do game with someone who happens to be of a higher level than I, IF that player offers (I never, ever ask) some gear, I'll generally accept. I don't see this as twinking however. (Not that I'd see anything wrong even if another thought it to fit that definition.) I'd be inclined to call that co-op play, and I think it's in the highest spirit of the games intent.

Why do I park my car in the driveway, then drive on the parkway?
