They should care because it's a fucking first person shooter. It's like playing a sport just to show off your expensive gear with no intention to get better. It's embarassing. And it's not true that it has been overtaken by trading. Yes there exists a small but active trading community but it's like 5% of the players. The majority still plays the game and doesn't care a lot for trading.
