Can anyone who's complaining tell me exactly how this is any different to me just paying -ú15 a month or whatever to train a second character and then selling it? Apart from now I can do it without paying -ú15 a month as long as I don't mind my character learning nothing new?

Dude I'm not going to read 55 pages. I read the first 5 pages or so and it's mainly people saying how terrible and pay to win this is despite the fact that you can already just buy a supercap pilot using real life money to buy PLEX and using PLEX to buy characters totally legitimately.

The consequence that when you buy a character from the bazaar you need to live with that character's skill allocation, reputation, history, name, appearance. That was a trade off you had to deal with. I never liked that possibility to do this but at least it has these consequences.
This is a pretty poor argument as only an idiot not checking the character's background for themselves is ever going to buy a character with a rubbish skill allocation, history, name, and appearance.
I mean if you buy a character called popblues420 with a corp history 2 miles long for full price then that's stupid.
The only thing I've seen that's any different is that you can shunt your skill points around on one character, which I would agree isn't great.

Nearly every single person against this change seems to be totally ignoring the fact I can already just keep making money and trading up to better skilled characters via the character bazaar as long as I don't mind not choosing my name.
What is the big deal here apart from that it's just making something that used to be possible but only really known to old players more visible to new players?
Personally I think they should get rid of the bazaar and permaban anyone selling their account, but they think that legitimising sales is a better way to handle it as you'll never stop it. If that sounds familiar it's because it's the same argument for legalising drugs.
So if you're able to already trade in IRL cash and buy a titan pilot tomorrow, what difference does this system make?
