I loathe the "everyone wintraded" narrative people keep parroting like drones rather than form more than one logical thought and ask themselves how realistic this even is.

Were there wintraders? Yes. Were they the majority? Not even close and the few that we noticed, we removed (i.e. got reported) and they generally got their position on the leaderboard removed.

But it would take actually interacting with the community to know this, not being an armchair expert over a mode they only heard about via a cousin's distant cousin.
But how would people who didn't even play the game at that time interact with the community at that time instead of relying on false narratives to push their agenda?
