If you are looking for support in this endeavor, I'm afraid it won't be coming from me.

Who knows, you may actually convert some of them into PVPers if you paint a target on your back.
Take one for the team, Lan!

If we assume that skill packets cost 2 bil on the market, then they're essentially worth $40 USD. (estimate obviously)
That's not an estimate. It's a fantasy.

I'm confused.
You seem to be against rich corps using their wealth for the noble goal of introducing new players to the game. Players that otherwise might have never heard of this game.
It irks me that people seem to be adamantly opposed to corps trying to increase the player base. Is that not what CCP wanted in the first place? A sandbox with player made content? That content must surely include recruiting new people from outside the game. A thing that SA, Reddit, and others have successfully achieved.

Find something else to justify your altruistic compassion for new players.. The "Think of the poor noobs with no money" shtick is not only dishonest, it's getting really old, really fast.

The rest are keeping their mouths shut which suggests they're either rage posting in opposition from alts or whipping out the calculators and rubbing their grubby little paws together in glee. If this goes through players sat on lots of alts for trading purposes might cash out well. Or lose massively. They wouldn't be in this market if they didn't enjoy risky types of speculation - it's always been fairly volatile - so they're probably enjoying themselves either way. Last I looked, there were maybe three or four WTBs in the first five pages of the Character Bazaar.
It seems like everyone is dumping alts right now for whatever reasons. Not sure exactly the implications of this, but I will say it's probably a good time for any new players reading this to grab some decent characters cheap. Probably a lot cheaper than making a comparable one after the SP packs come into the game.
More on topic, though. I've been known to dabble in the bazaar and have no problem whatsoever with the proposed changes. I don't think many character traders do who took the time to think things through. There's a good chance we'll see our profits actually increase.

PLEX doesn't reduce RMT. It legitimizes it.
Putting the cash in CCP's pocket instead of third party ISK sellers in no way changes how the game is played and the fundamental problem of paying to jump ahead.
While it can certainly be argued that paying CCP for ISK is better than paying ISK-R-US is better for the game, it's faint praise. The problem is not addressed. CCP's solution to RMT was to grab a piece of it for themselves, thus encouraging the practice through making it legit. There has been no time in this game's history where RMT is more prevalent than today. Whether legit or third party, RMT is RMT.
How can that possibly be good for the game?

No player can legitimately make money by farming ISK and selling them. The only monetary benefit for the ISK seller is, that he doesn't have to pay his account. Every PLEX beyond that is still just an ingame item. The problem with RMT in most games is, that you can actually make money by farming ISK/Gold/Coins/Crystals/whatever the currency is, often using bots or a bunch of chinese kids in a sweatshop. That does happen in Eve as well, E-Bay ISK selling is definitely a thing, but not as much as it would be if there were no PLEX. CCP on the other hand, even though of course they get a nice financial cushion through PLEX, don't sell ISK, and therefore don't bot or farm. I think CCP buying ISK might be one of the best things for the longevity of the game.
A one time event to clear some of the large alliance wallets and make things fun again. Not enough notice to allow farming to matter much. Just announce that on such and such a date CCP will do a PLEX buyback for cash.
It will create some great stories of massive corp thefts. Many corps and alliances will collapse overnight as their bankers sell off all their assets and null will open up like it hasn't in years. It will also have the benefit of clearing some of the massive stockpiles of PLEX, capital fleets and minerals from the game.
This will have to be coupled with fixing ISK faucets and a reworked (or removed) PLEX system, of course. But it might be just what we need to remove the current stagnation that is plaguing the game and shake up the balance of power that virtually unlimited ISK has created for the large blocks turtled in around their money moons.
