20,000 Cmdrs all descend on to same planet to get the same items...
Used as an example, others have used The Chosen One... but then The Matrix is a film and not an MMO either.
So.....that Tech Broker

It matters in ED. I will take glitchy attempts to do PG mission chain generated for me over carbon copy story.
This actually triggered me into thinking ....the guy has obviously been working on the new trading systems for a while now perhaps his development build didn't get updated when they made the quantity shown as pips update, thus his unfamiliarity....so now we have new changes being brought to completion based on an outdated version to be integrated into the current live build...hmmm....maybe this is why we get so many regression bugs with updates.
He is probably constantly playing Dev builds of the game, so probably has no wish to play the game when he gets home, but do something different.
If the weapons are useful or not, IMHO it's just yet more paper-scissors-stone creep. Introduce X, which you use Y against.... Yada... Yada...
Just want more interesting and deeper gameplay to pew pew within/for, not just more variety of pew pew within the existing 2-3 year old gameplay.
Tec brokers are like shop keepers that will give yuo a voucher that says that you can buy an item from elsewhere.
An Engeneer is some one that you take an item to he then modifies it to be stronger/faster, stronger.
When I read forums I think that some should take reading and comprehension lessons again.
RE: the mats.
We also have the other trader to change large sums of cheap mats to the more rare kind yea? So not that big an issue.

Would be great to have guns with Yada Yada ammo... They'd just go on and on and on and on...
No - my understanding was the conversion is done on a like for like rarity basis but at a loss.....i.e two for one type of trade of same rarity
Anything can be tedious if you put your mind to it. Give me an example of a game that features unlock-able items (like most RPGs), and tell me there's no tedium there as well.
From my experience:
Diablo: do the same run ad nauseam until I get the drop I want, or the mats I need.
Any racing game with purchasable cars / parts: do the most efficient race in terms of credits / h ad nauseam
Could they do missions? Sure (and maybe they will). But how much different can they be? Yes, I did all side quests on Dragon Age. Go here and kill this, go there and fetch this, ad nauseam.
For those that want everything, it will always be a time sink, no matter how it is done. For those that play the game, and get things when they come, nothing much will change.
On my first account, I was like that: do the same thing over and over and over and over and over to unlock something. On my second account, I just do whatever, without thinking about an end goad. Much more fun.
How do you know every mat is for trade? How do you know you can exchange cheap mats for rare mats in sensible ratios?
Pure example about people whining about grinding because they........grind.
I don't doubt that, it's his job after all....when I go home I don't want to think about work.
However I do think it's interesting...if they don't actually play the game how can they see / experience the issues the players are dealing with...it's a small point and I doubt we'll get an answer.
Whenever Sandro is asked how much he plays the game he usually answers 'not enough' or 'not as much as I should'....fair enough but sometimes I think they can't see the wood for the trees.
You need to learn to say "sorry I misread" and not finish with quite so much passive aggressive attempts to retrieve the upper hand, but I guess that's as good as it gets. Now let's get back to the topic.

I feel like I'm missing something here.
When was this Tech Broker announced, and what is it?

That is what the forums and the community managers are for, to see issues we bring up and bring it up to the designers to see if things can be changed/improved. Which does seem to be happening.
So, does that mean that everyone is going to get access to a different set of modules to unlock ?
My guess is that we will get certain modules to unlock by doing certain things, like specific missions or CG's etc. Not too sure how it works, even though there are some out there that seem to think they know how it will all work already without experiencing it.
Last night's livestream is worth watching if you get the chance, there was a lot of new stuff to see.
