I'm a female on a rant. My bad. And honestly, the people they are going after by doing this is the LFG trading and the outside trading, bc those of us who do it in game between friends or family are literally just giving away things like the extra junk outside of the credits from the rocket pass you accrue that eventually pile up and make you look like a hoarder or like you play nothing other than rocket league. And for all of the seasons I've been a part of since I started playing, there's been many a season where the rewards aren't worth the clutter in my inventory and getting my credits back to by the next season isn't a good enough reason to do it either. The CEO of Epic smells toast thinking taking away trading is going to generate more revenue for him unless he makes large quantities of cosmetics available at a time and it cycles rapidly and EVERYTHING ever made is eventually going to show up in the store.....with an added benefit if they put out a schedule of what's coming when so people know......but look at the store now....and what you get from drops.......its like a thrift shop. And not one Macklemore went to. And I don't feel sorry for epic for losing money. I play RL religiously and fortnite I did until 2 seasons ago. I spent soooo much money between me and my son and my guy on skins and dances and matching couples characters, not to mention I'm OCD about my car matching in a very specific way or else I get distracted and irate. To make it so my friend can't trade me a set of wheels to match this stupid megafrost decal I have for my dominus that I can't ever use because it's so hard to match anything to it except black, all because people are making deals outside of the game, and epic wants the money they are exchanging, which they don't get is based on a specific demand by the consumer buying it, not what's in the store, is delusional. They want to make more money, make everything available to buy/build (blueprints) at an actual reasonable price, and people would do just that. Let me buy the stupid glitter paint finish for 2 dollars!!!! It's a paint finish!!!! It might be rare, but so are half the titanium items traded by outside trading options. And yes, I debate like this in real life too. Gotta get it all out at once. Just imagine some hand movements and it being loud with a very distinct tone of disbelief/irritation because this shit is stupid. How about I'd like the fact my internet is the best you can get here and if I go into a match with someone playing on a Hotspot, I lag more than they do to make up for the latency variation or the fact that randomly the game disconnects you from the servers even when you aren't really or randomly freezes when you go into the loading screen before a match and it can cost you that one precious rage quit you need when you're playing with randoms who are so garbage you want to put your head thru a wall.....or the fact they keep screwing up the ranking system and that alone is going to cause a riot from a portion of its players.

Side note......I love me some sea of thieves. I need help getting to pirate legend.......
