Escape from Tarkov Veterans Fear Arc Raiders Will Repeat the Mistake of Adding a "Flea Market"

[...] we should develop the trading aspect of the game much more. Also, give people the opportunity to trade with each other and so on. I think it's fun. This is something we definitely should consider in the long term. We haven't decided anything for sure yet.

As a Tarkov player, I'll share what a trading system does to a game. It reduces everything you find to mere monetary value — nothing else will matter anymore. Right now, you have to make decisions based on what you want to get: metal parts, explosives, or valuable loot. But as soon as trading is added, everything will just turn into currency, and that will become the only thing that matters. Don't add trading, leave the loot system as it is! People already trade with each other right in the raids.
