And why does the rotation need to happen? Ignoring how unnecessary it is for him to be available for only a limited window every two weeks, what about the existence of this vender requires him to only have a limited stock?

And because you can still trade prime parts for platinum, and then turn those prime parts into ducats, untradeable cosmetic items are no exception.

Urgency breeds sales. It's a corporate tool wield against the consumer. Because if everything just sits there, always available, always the same price, what's the hurry? Maybe you'll get it next week. Maybe you'll lose interest entirely.

But you're right about one thing. That people grind to buy a bunch of something to sell off to others isn't DE's problem. It was their intention. People buy platinum from them directly to buy from the "grinders" and a large amount of credits are removed from the game with every million credit, legendary mod trade, insuring that people will keep playing to recoup their loses.
