Thats why I said that the Broker would be like a Market between two players. Same rates as the ingame market, just that its between two players. Of Course Direct sent may need to be modified but generally Bigger player buying ATs off smaller player would still pay his large rate while a Smaller player buying ATs off another player would pay his rate.
Resource trading on the Ingame market then makes it 3 Guarenteed Trades while you have to form your own trade networks, another aspect of the game. It'll mean that smaller players have a use and that Larger and smaller players will work together to be effective. I.E A larger player can down a defence but then use a smaller player to finish it off/use more turns as they're more easily available to him. It means that all teirs and sizes of players have use and a purpose.
Of course a side effect of this is basically destorying the Cash trade and Scamming altogether but hey, its a free game and I don't play for finances.
Like I said before, this is just a Concept. It needs a lot of work before you can truely call it any sort of solution as there's many things I haven't looked into or thought about or have the experience to know about. Just offering an alternative option to all the other ones already offered/presented. Take it/leave it, as long as it stimulates more discussion on the topic, it's served its purpose.
