I think you misunderstand where the cheating happens.
It's not about cheating the trades or the market, it's about a client saying "btw I have a massive factory that's producing 10 million widgets per hour" on release day.
Factory simulation needs to happen server-side. You can't trust the client to have followed the rules on resource mining and factory building.
