It is easy to think that trading will get someone where he wants. In the end, only time will prove him wrong. I mean, if one considers trackers like baseball cards and one's objective is the "thrill" of the trade itself instead of the trackers I guess he might have some fun but he'll find himself doing it for the rest of his torrenting life because those who keep on trading keep on losing accounts for various reasons... A trader has to constantly start all over again. This is specially true with trackers with better security systems which, incidentally, are usually those that also have higher levels.
He might get a BitmeT* or a ScT today only to find that his account has been disabled some days/weeks after he has become a member. Invite trees crowded with traders tend to be more targeted by staffs because the odds of someone there doing something suspicious and indeed plain wrong are much greater.
Even if he trades and eventually becomes a fine useful member there he might find himself in the middle of something like that... thus having to start all over again in order to get the same tracker time and time again. He might even get lucky and manage to keep one of his traded accounts but that will be the exception.
If someone really loves P2P and wants to have the pleasure of looking at a 50 week old account that he built from scratch then he'll soon realize that trading is not for him. Climbing on user class, becoming a recognisable and respected member on the community, knowing that people will flock to fulfil one of your re-seed requests, getting invites to other trackers on the forums just because he is a good member there - no proofs.., the proof is in front of everyone's eyes. Don't know about the rest of you but for me it's also a pleasure to see that your invitees do well. Everyone takes pride in being the origin of successful invite trees. These things are priceless.
It's such a pleasure to introduce your login data and always be sure that you'll see the home page. It's such a pleasure to know that if something went wrong it's most certainly on the part of the tracker. It's such a pleasure to disregard the fact that your torrents suddenly turned "red" not bothering what the hell is the code of the error... you know it has nothing to do with you!
