“Wait for a billion years for it to show up in the item shop?” “They can’t add a metric s**t ton of items to the game and then remove player trading, what if you want something obscure?” redditor Odd-Market-2344 pointed out. Epic Games came under fire across social media and in particular on the Rocket League subreddit, which is packed with threads from players expressing their dismay at the decision. The statement sparked an angry backlash from the Rocket League community, with some pointing out achievements that require trading will become impossible to obtain. “Our support team cannot help reverse trades.”
What if you lent someone an item? “These actions are not supported by Psyonix and all trades are considered final,” Psyonix said. “Websites or servers advertising such services are fraudulent and have no connection to Psyonix or Epic Games.” “After December 5, there will be no way to trade items with any player or between accounts,” Psyonix said.
In the same announcement, Psyonix issued a warning to those who may consider using “fraudulent” third-party trading websites or servers. Psyonix said the trade-in system for core items, tournament items, and blueprints will let players continue trading duplicate or unwanted items to receive a random new item of higher rarity, and players will not lose any previously traded items when player-to-player trading is removed.
