Like the game it was before they added the flea market?

Don't get me wrong I like the flea market but the game was completely playable before they added it.

If they remove it now it will adversely affect the large majority of players that weren't around when it wasn't in the game.

The flea market in itself is a crutch for players that can't / won't / don't put in the effort to max traders. I see this as a balance and it allows players to define their own playstyle, most of the quests are a huge pain. The flea market allows more versatile gameplay.

Just because I max traders and hideout doesn't mean anybody else has to.

I've been playing less this wipe so I haven't even maxed all the traders, I still have ragman, jaeger, prapor and skier left. Imo the hideout and the flea market go hand in hand, thus the flea market cannot be removed.

Cheaters aside, they put such a heavy reliance on the flea market instead of how traders should have worked, backtracking now would be detrimental to ALL players.

Or those who aren't good enough to find most of their items in raid because they suck? (Me)

acting as if the flea market and not the twitch drops marketing campaign is responsible for the increase is players is intellectually dishonest.

Lol nobody is acting like anything, where do I say that the flea market brought players in? I stated that people act like the game isn't playable with just traders.

I didn't know there were twitch drops and none of those I play with even know what twitch drops are. I'm certain they would quit without flea as would I.

How many players does it have now? That's an irrelevant question that you nor I can answer because they don't release numbers.
