Is trading coming back?

Do you think that Epic Games will bring back trading? (sorry in advance for my formatting)

!Dont read the next part if your not interested in the reasoning or get bored easily lol!

I think (hope, pray, disillusion myself) that they will bring back the ability to trade. Even now, I am saving blueprints and items that are worth $$$. I dont have insider info or anything like that, but just a feeling.

Some things Epic will consider before bringing back trading: -Their reputation. If they bring back trades, it will send a message to the community, either that they listen to our feedback and care, or that they are second guessing themselves and weak-willed. Given how much hate and backlash rocket players give (on literally everything lol), Im guessing they predict the latter. -$$$. They need to evaluate if it is profitable. This might be the biggest factor. If the removal of trading of trading benifited them, then we wont get it back. (from what i saw on a quick google search, their stock price plunged right around the time they announced the removal of trading, and around Dec 5. when trading left. Not sure if its related tho) If, on the other hand, they lost profit form the removal of trading, then the boycott worked and we will most likely see trading return. -Longevity of their company, profitability and games. The decision to remove trading could have been a last ditch effort to milk the nickels and (insert british moneys here) from this game, whilst boosting Fortnite's playerbase. It all comes down to which games make cash, and which ones they care about.

Id love to hear your opinions and counter-arguements.

The actual reason epic games removed trading is to be able to import the players items into rocket league racing in fortnite. If no one plays rl racing epics project will have failed and there could be a possibility of bringing back trading if rl racing gets removed.

but speaking of that rocket racing will be vaulted soon does that give Epic another shot at bringing trading back? and save the Rocket League community? Let's hope because that made me want to play every day and buy credits at that so I could buy from another trader they only see a money grab so it's on them if the game dies.

As touching as all that is. People need to understand what was happening in the dark corners of trading. While everyone looks at it as a money grab. Think about all the people who have been scammed by others for those “hard to get” “special edition” “alpha” Items.

There are people who LOST tons of money. Because of these scammers and epic couldn’t just stop them because they had many accounts. Now also think about how many people went online and purchased credits through a third party at ridiculously low prices. That created an issue with the items listed in the shop because the value that epic received was almost 0 since the credits usually weren’t purchased through them. Now think about how much loss that is just. We’re. Epic and the people who play. Once epic had enough complaints and enough “giving” back items that players were scammed for. THEY are not going to bring back trading without first making every current item non tradable and then only releasing new items that could be traded. They would then have to split the items from battle pass and non battle pass. They don’t want to have millions of subcategories and sub restrictions for items just to make a small player base happy.

@-Goose- I feel like it could be just something that was miss read but I really hope they do. I'm keeping my hopes up. Huge RL content creators like Musty have made videos requesting trading to come back and they've lost so many players just to help fortnite and rocket racing but now that that game is dead hopefully it means that there will bring back trading.

@-Goose- I've been playing rocket league for a long time but never actually played online until like 8 months ago. I used to play with my brothers like 30 minutes a month on weekends but never knew a single thing about the game. When I started to play for real, it was right after they removed trading. And when I started I didn't have a legacy account like my brother did so I don't have all the colored standards, cristianos, or sparkles.

@Black_Ink I was lucky enough to discover trading a month or so before they removed it. Last November was a mad scramble lol. I picked up some cool items, but not all the ones a wanted. I'm hopeful for the return of trading as well

@-Goose- FR there are so many things I want like black standard, black oems, tw zombas, and all the sweaty trails. I know a lot of creators like tri house do trades and I think I could get something really good if he has an extra and I have a good amount of credits.

What I would do to get like prime rocket league back is crazy. Epic games should get shut down for monopoly soon enough. Worst thing epic games has done hands down. Nothing but greedy sacks of shit
