Trade updates have totally ruined the game irrevocably and the system needs to be rebuilt from the ground up.

As per title, basically. Game is no longer enjoyable due to changes to trade levelling. On my current playthrough I'm 5/5 in trade and 6 SOC, maxed out caravans, maxed out workshops, and I'm still losing over 6K per day owning three cities and running as many policies to generate money as possible. So I basically have to be at war all the time in order to farm loot to keep my head above water paying for troops, garrisons, and money offers to recruit vassals. It's completely fucked and ruins the game.

The only way I can level is by riding around selling grain and other bullshit for profit to level up trade, which is boring as fuck.

Nope.

It was good while it lasted, but I'm not grinding the map selling crap just to pay for the things I want to do. Edit: I guarantee I have more hours than probably everybody on this sub, and of all iterations, this current one is the only which has made me quit the game. Which may even be a good thing.
