Take out the whole plundering the weak out of the equation. All of you assume that whoever hides resources on the market is weak, defenseless, can't fight back.
Look at it this way. Sometimes you have to go great lengths to attack. A good example is the leader's city of your arch enemy alliance. You're trying to cut their supplies. You're trying to stop them from manufacturing more and more of an army against you.
Yet, after 3 hours or so travel, you land and they have simply put their stuff on the market? So they run no risk of you just coming right in, plundering 1.5k stone and leaving. In a game where the attacker is forced to spam, to do any real damage.
What good does that do for an attacker? That is where I see the unfairness.
