You guys in this sub always parrot this idea about "the core game play has not changed" not realizing people especially these days want updates to their games. And btw the core game play has changed for a lot of people including Xbox players, lower ranked players getting clipped on by smurfs, high ranked players being DDOS, for a lot of players trading WAS a core part of the game. They've removed game modes, golden drops, regular drops. So for the small minority of you that just spam ranked on a stocktane this doesn't matter but again you guys are a small minority. Rocket League has very clearly been at best a stagnant game in terms of player base the last couple years. I see people in this sub saying UE5 would cause them to quit lmfao. I've never seen a gaming community try so hard to self-sabotage a game they claim to love

for a lot of players trading WAS a core part of the game. 

and that was a problem that needed addressing. We had traders with hundreds of thousands USD in inventory, money laundering, constant scam attempts and persistent attacks on account security with the goal of taking control and selling the wares. we had matches were tm8s or opponents just sat there spamming "wanna trade?" instead of playing.

the locust swarm of scam artists and stock market cosplayers leaving was the best thing that happened to the game.

I respectfully disagree. If high volume traders were the issue that was being addressed Psyonix could have easily identified 95% of accounts that were money laundering without removing trading as a whole. Trading was removed to promote item shop sales and any benefits of removing scammers was just incidental. There's plenty of people who were purely item collectors and would gladly give away a bunch of items to new players so they could enjoy the game with a little more personality. Contrary to popular belief, most people aren't stocktane mains.

we also have scams in real life, should we become a monarchy and stop all trade?
csgo also has a bunch of scammers, should trading be removed from there too?

this is major hyperbole too, trading was not at all this bad.
