Because they're not interested in RPing a trader, I would say that's more accurate.

Lemme give you a related example. You know why I don't have any 5k transports currently? Other than a lack of money, I mean. No corporation interests me even slightly. As an independent trader or leader of a small group, I can make my own diplomacy, I can go where I want (if I'm smart about it), I have some freedom. If I want to be constrained by corporate policy, I'll ask for extra days at work. I don't wanna deal with that crap in my free time.

I imagine that's got a lot to do with it for other people too; many of 'em have a dull, tedious job in real life, and they just can't get into RPing a trader.

Another contributing factor is that there's not as much publicity for the trade routes now as there was in 4.84. A lot of people knew profitable routes back then. Now, you don't hear about them so much.
