I think youre all reading way too much in this.
In practice, i read it as the current system NOT changing at all, other then that any and all GTC for isk trades will be going through the account management page, and that every buyer has to either use the gtc himself right away, or sell it to someone that uses it right away or something like that. There will be no more reselling of gtc's by players.
Buying isk indirectly would still work, but selling isk for cash wholesale by using gtc's as go-between would not.
It's like, a method to keep tabs on whose selling how many gtc's to whom for what isk. Sounds pretty logical to me, especially if they plan on taking it further at a later stage.
Oh, but it's not exactly comforting to see that CCP somehow equate this with something that increases their ability to stop the sale of isk for rl cash. For some unfathomable reason there's still absolute craploads of farming going on, while there should be alot less market for all that isk. Who is buying all that isk that doesn't go through gtc's ?

makes sense
You understood what kieron was saying. proof that there must be DEVS IN BOB!!!!!!
I don't think he did understand it. Kieron mentioned that many players would be upset over this change, and those players may leave EVE. If they were simply cutting out GTC resellers like Amber Leonne and making the system automated through the account system then why would he say that?
GTC resellers being cut out and the system being made automated would make things easier, why would so many people quit over this? I think theres more to it then CCP is letting on.
Wait and see.
I'm betting the ability to buy gamteime to resell though the acc management page is going to be limited. As in: you can sell only as much gametime as you're bought for your own accounts. Just as example, but that is one aspect that also always has been missing from the "arrangement" so far.
