I'm not going to boycott the item shop for 2 reasons. 1: it will change nothing, because we're all ants in an ant farm to those people. 2: I like rl items, I like my cars to look nice, and if the item shop has nice items, then I don't see why I shouldn't have them. My aim is to forget that epic exists and stay in a rl bubble where my cars look nice and I'll play the game as normal.

@DuncOnPercs I completely agree with you, because of people like him who have no principles and are going to support and advertise new items by creating designs, buying items, everything will remain as it is. For example, I lost my main job selling credits, it’s sad, but in Russia you still can’t get them, and I had a huge chance to earn a lot from this now selling a service for receiving creds. But I'm not going to help epics get this money. Even if they pay me for it

I absolutely 100% understand your point and I think you are right as well, however, I don’t know if you follow Fortnite on social media or in any way shape or form, but EVERYTIME Epic does something that the community doesn’t like the kids complain about it and they do it nonstop too. Seems like every single time the players do that and take a stand Epic responds and usually makes a change somehow. I think the same could happen if they see that they have literally destroyed a HUGE amount of the player base that has kept Rocket League alive for so long. Let’s face it, we’re not huge names in the community by ourselves, we’re not pro players. But we’d keep this game alive because we finance the game by using the item shop. If we all take a stand and I mean that we ALL have to together, we can make a change.

Look, there might be a chance that it will change. You don’t have hope in yourself to even believe. You need to get off that game for a while because of your mental state. While the community tries to have options to boycott the shop, you do something else with your little brain of yours.

Not every one have the possibility to buy from the shop. Trading system was here to counter this problem, making people enjoy the game in all it functions. Now that they removed trading, a majority of rl community is gone and rl is no longer enough famous as it was to keep up with a lack of players.

@neon-knight00 bro, I'm not saying sticking together doesn't make a difference, but its about choosing the right battle. If people wanna boycott then boycott. It's no skin off my nose. However, if I wanna buy stuff from the item shop and make designs with em and whatever, then I should be able to do that without being judged for it. People just hopping on a bandwagon trying make it look like I said something bad because i said im not boycotting, i dont think it will make a difference and thats it anyway. You cant unless you get people to stop playing fortnite lol. It's not your fight, and it's a futile fight. I just wanna play videogames man.

The point of removing trades is to buy from the shop since it's costly Epic will benefit from it, boycotting will not affect much for Epic. what could affect is to send emails to Epic telling them to return the trades.

@Ih8plat2 Bruh it came out in a bundle that's actually a good deal compared to trading prices. 208k worth of items for 3k. Like, I'm "boycotting" the item shop too, but these prices are 205k cheaper than trading prices, so I couldn't not get it with my 28k leftover credits that are already on my account! I mostly just wanted the stride tides and holographic chakrams, which would have cost over 5k with trading prices, so everything else was just a huge bonus.

@K3W gamers of my age have been through this many times over the years mate, honestly. The days when developers made games for the gamers, theyre faded. Gone. Gaming is a business, and we've all tried to fight these battles for many years now, you can't win. Especially against someone as big and powerful as epic games. So I'll get what I can out of them while I can. If you really want to make epic listen, the only way is to get people to stop playing fortnite. The likelihood of that is as slim as you can get.

@Raiyu The gaming industry has already crashed before due to the products just becoming cash grabs. This idea that the consumers have literally zero power is just false. The problem is people like you. “I’ll get what I can bc I don’t matter” not only do you say it, but you cope so hard that you make an effort to convince others. You are so lost in your own consumption you can’t stop yourself from spending on a company that is ripping you off on a product you don’t even need.

Again many people promoted this game Mr. Sandman etc. they all said they were gonna quit making content... That's bad on a long period. I just feel like people who now play, wil keep on playing, but new players will not be motivated to try the game. Result: lower ranked players wont be able to rank up...

I agree. I bought 500 credits only to get the trading achievement on PlayStation and then trade here on RLG to get up to 1000 credits to eventually get a rocket pass I liked. I now have 400 credits and trading is gone, so unless they ever add a way to earn some free credits, I'm stuck on 400 forever (because I'm never giving Epic money again).

Here’s what I’m thinking will happen if we boycott the item shop. And I mean REALLY boycott it. Everyone gets together and boycotts. I think there are 3 options. 1. They bring trading back (IMO unlikely when compared to the other 2). 2. They bring extremely rare items into the shop like alpha items so people will buy stuff. 3. They shut down rocket league because it’s not making enough money and epic thinks it’s just a waste of time because the whole point is to make money off of it and if it’s not then they will just stop wasting money on it.

If NOBODY buys anything from the item you really think they will ignore that? In my whole RL playtime since Release I once bought 1000crs for pass and a hymn from free credit earnings during event. Just for example look what happened to Starbucks during boycotts. WE ARE STRONG TOGETHER!!!

The thing is epic don't make their money off of the item shop but off of selling credits. It's a better idea to boycott buying credits because boycotting the item shop doesn't do anything as we're paying in credits and not real money

The reality is; most rocket league players don’t event use rlg and a good chunk don’t want to boycott. So technically, if everyone boycotted it would work (as in they either shut down the game or bring back trading), but everyone isn’t gonna boycott it, so I personally don’t waste my time throwing a tantrum

I honestly don't think that they will revert the change. Besides I for one think that we should take advantage of this opportunity of there being good stuff in rotation for once not just in the item shop but also in the rocket pass.

I don't think that boycotting the item shop will make them revert their decision. however, right now it seems like Epic's not doing too well financially with everyone they've been laying off. Because of that, they're pushing really hard for items, and if that doesn't work, they'll be in not great shape. Potentially, they might then sell the game to someone who actually cares about if they need fast money

we dont boycott the item shop we would have to boycott paying for credits because they don't get paid when we buy stuff in the item shop they get paid when we buy the in app purchases like veteran packs and things of that nature

I haven’t purchased anything from RL since 2021. Not even the battle passes. I have a feeling eventually the game will be shutdown and fully moved to fortnite at some point because it’s already running unreal 5 and would save costs…

yall... epic is not going to reverse their decision lmao. the whole reason why they made this change in the first place was because of cross-game ownership and that is due to rocket racing.. which confirmed the psyonix devs have confirmed to have been working on for for over 2 years now, if they reversed their decision that would mean they would have to delete over 2 years of work, and since epic clearly doesn't give a flying fxck abt our community that is NEVER going to happen. unfortunately...

For example- they run the titanium white reaper goal explosion in the store for 800 credits. = $10 when the tradable version is $1,300 on any RL Exchange style websites. They know these websites are available and aren’t a scam. They can’t handle that and want full control of their items. Now it’s a miserable waiting game on the store for old rare items that they may never re-run

I feel like boycott or not epic games is still be a fomo profiting and fomo based company so much so that its dam near unstopable and inevitable that they will simply just make decisions thats bettering them over us, as for much of the game companies and companies in general that puppeteer the market and its consumer base. I feel this deicision has simply driven a knife down the middle of the rl fan base in a way that divides the angry and the unchanged, the angry people make the argument of boycotting and things along these lines and the unchanged simply dont care either way, its hard for a human to simpithize with the other side of an argument because its dam near programed into us, i feel like the situation would be better on many levels if we would just stop arguing with eachother and find a third option, an example would be the push to get rl out of the hands of epic, this would benefit both sides, incuring that the new comapny brings trading back.

Maybe also don’t buy credits in general. Only use what you’ve saved up. Epic gets no money if you use credits you traded for.

Epic changes the movement on Fortnite and say they are open to concerns. Then they remove trading and essentially flip us off and say deal with it.

It’s crazy how epic actually talks to the Fortnite community and not the RL community 😂. If you’ve seen one of Sandman’s more recent videos he literally goes and shows how epic is willing to listen to the player base on Fortnite and then he switches over to rocket leagues Twitter feed and it’s just empty

I just started playing a week ago and didn’t even know trading was a thing, just to find out it isn’t anymore. It’s a bit disappointing but I didn’t know either way 2 weeks ago. I’d be happy if they brought trading back but I can’t say not having it has hindered my experience any. I don’t like that the racing is part of Fortnite. I wish it were its own thing. I’ll prol never try it as I don’t want to have to load FN just to do so.

Epic makes no money on the credits we currently have to get items from the item shop. I'd spend mine in the shop but I'm going to be very picky on what I spend mine on because when they're gone, I wont be buying any credits from Epic.

Don't spend the Credits... in Accounting there are Assets and Liabilities. The credits themselves act like gift cards ( Unlearned Liabilities ). In both GAP and IFRS unspent gift cards (credits) sit on the liabilities part of the balance sheet until they are spent ... at which point they convert to a short term asset (cash).

@cles Yeh until they put a date on the "gift cards credit (C)" to be spend. Or make up another currency like the Esport Currency (E). A shared platform currency (X) for all new stuff. And put an end to the Credit only to be used to buy all the old items we know.

@cles I cant see how my credit has any reallife value. All I can buy is digital items without value. Epic can recycle all the zillions of existing items for 1000+ years if they keep showing arround 7 items pr day. And they also relist items multiple times a year, so.... If have credit or items it is all worth 0.
