Then Character Bazaar should be done away with too.

Eve allows the entire sale of characters but not minor improvements on original character.
Because those characters had to be skilled up at one point by someone. You can't buy SP, period. Someone had to go through the time.
And if you increase your skill point, you're the one who skilled up that character.
The difference is......?
It has no effect on the economy. The only difference is that one way will be defended to the death by used character salesmen scum.

It costs nothing to train SP. It costs something to fast-forward SP. If anything, fast-forwarding should be more powerful than training.

So you convert one form of currency to another.
It doesn't even take time to train skills in EVE. Not real life time, just waiting time. No actual effort is put in.

If it didn't take time, why do I still have over two weeks left on my current skill? Time is EVE's most valuable currency. You do not understand how this game works. Go away.
Time isn't a resource. People don't sell time. They sell skills, like lifting up a rock or programming a computer. They don't sell time. A vegetable's time is worthless. It takes all the skills of a partial-vegetable (IE logging on) to play EVE and train up skills if that is your only goal.
And once again, if somehow the skills of a comatose were a currency, WHAT CURRENCY IN THE WORLD CANNOT BE TRADED FOR ANOTHER CURRENCY?
Currency, by definition, is meant to be traded.
P.S. Don't cry just because you'll lose your precious character bazaar that nobody else cares for.

If time is not a resource, why do jobs pay by the hour?
As I said, employers pay for skills. People don't get paid for having a lot of free time. People have to WORK for their money. If you disagree, go try to convince Bill Gates to hire the coma ward of the local hospital to Microsoft. They are great at waiting and have all the skills you admire.
In EVE, isk for skills isn't pay to win, it's win-to-win, since you need to have the isk anyways, and EVE is an economy game.
And it's no different from character bazaar since training skills takes no work and there's no "skill point economy" aside from the sh*tty character bazaar which we could do without.
