Such an odd and overtly terrible decision to make. This helps literally no one, fixes literally no problems and boosts the community pitchfork economy.

The hell are they thinking?

I mean, it's Epic. I doubt they were thinking

Yep, all they do is fling around their fortnite money

They are thinking about revenue. A large layoff and now focus on protecting revenue.

For sure. I just don’t see how this helps. I don’t think a bunch of pissed off people are going to run to the shop to purchase the items they want them too.

Maybe in a month they will, but people are rightfully piiissssssed right now.

The whales will, and those are the only people that matter to epic and all the game publishers with micro transaction F2P games.

A handful of whales bring in more revenue than thousands of regular players. They’re the ones these games are designed to milk for every cent. The rest of us are just a bonus

80% of the items are traded for less credits than it costs to build the blueprints so they probably hope that by taking the trading option away that people will spend more money on those 2000CR blueprints
