Kill the source, that would be the macro miners they would have A LOT less isk to sell.

The buyer is the source. The sellers are just reacting to demand. They didn't create it.

You have to get rid of the buyer which is immpossible.

We don't sell ISK, nor do we allow selling and buying ISK for real world money, nor is it something we plan on doing. We do however allow selling and purchasing EVE game time, mainly through the use of the new PLEX system which let's you create an (two) in-game item using an EVE Time Code which can then be traded for ISK in game.

This doesn't actually create any in game money, it just moves it around. I'm not an economist but if we were to create ISK and sell it we'd most likely end up ruining the economy in EVE, and that would be bad.

I beg your pardon

CCP sells ETC's to approved retailers, who sell them to me, which I can near instantly dump on a buy order in Jita. This is selling isk silly wabbit. As for not "pumping isk", actually it does; its creating a larger isk volume than would be generated by player activity. It also increases CCP's income beyond its baseline scaled from the player base alone.

I'm neither complaining or objecting: its the smart move to dramatically cut the RMT's profits. I remember 3 years ago when they were asking $30 US for 100 mill isk. The PLEX system further props up the player driven price, and as you have been doing this for 2 years and the eve economy hasn't imploded yet I think your concern unwarranted.
