I'm still extremely skeptical that OP is really loyalty rank 2 or 3 if has been playing his as long as he says he has. Maybe OP only plays a match per month.
The points for playing are so low that you basically have had to spend money. I know Spade has been around forever, but is only level 2.
I liked the idea of the Traders License someone brought up, so maybe there will be a work around.

Why buy a trader's license, which only nets you one thing: the ability to trade, when you could spend $10 in AUR on literally anything else and get loyalty rank + the ability to trade + that thing you just bought? "Being around forever" has precisely nothing to do with loyalty rank. It's tied to activity. If Spade logs in once a week and plays a single match then yeah, his rank is going to be low. Working as intended.
He has been way more active than that.
I think there is room for compromise though. The reason for the Loyalty Rank requirement is to prevent abuse, and nothing more.
If another mechanic can be equally effective in preventing abuse, while opening up trading to a greater number of players, particularly people who have stuck with the game through thick and thin, then I think that would be a better option.
Loyalty Rank should be a last resort option to prevent abuse, as this could literally be the one thing in this game that could be then described as P2W (available via real money that isn't reasonable available without it).
