Isnt the ESIs the value of the skills atm, if those were TT wed have a true value of the skill and a shorter way to enter for beginners since the total cost for skills would be much lower.
That way it would be more fair for all and easier to exit for those with alot of skills and easier to start the game and the value would be in the skill only and not to the lucky looter of the ESI.
Sorry for interrupting but this is sticking to my own field of activity since Id happily sell 100k+ TT of skills

Everyone wants for skills to matter more an have more value. Those of you who 'left' or want to and also those of us that still are active would prefer for skills to be worth a lot more. And yes why not, when chipping in or out, you'd prefer to find esi at TT, but, a significant part of your skill was made during the ESI farm because it was the best markup across many events over years. Markup is still there and ESI is a significant part of it. This is something mastermesh, as a lurker in this universe can't understand and MA also can't quite grasp this.
Abruptly switching the ESIs to tt value would've probably made you quit even few more years early not just because you had over 10k tt often, but, it would have been a lot harder to profit from hunting so not worth playing at all. And not for you but for the majority of the top hunters which would have been rather bad as it turns out the following eomon migrations were, without ESI and without weapons.
Cheaper skill transaction but higher skill value is something we all would prefer, but, if these things were more accessible, maybe another player would start sell, and another one, and maybe me too, since I have almost twice the levels I need for my weapon so why not sell the excess too. So even if ESI at TT would mean an easier and cheaper way out, it's a two edge sword because if demand would increase, so would the supply and I can assure you the supply is many times more than the demand - be careful what you wish for
You know and understand all this but mastermesh, with a total (12 years) turnover equal to your turnover in one of your good day, knows jack shit about hunting and ESI in loot.
I'm not biased in this, I think, as I sell my ESI as I loot them, not when the MU is super high - maybe that's why the ESI got so expensive over the years, because the top hunters waited with selling them until that moment of the year when everyone was looking for them, maybe if everyone sold them as they looted them, maybe the ESI wou;d have been 4-600% as they once were while skills were over 1.5-2k%...
Esi at tt would be a very bad move, by itself, if not complemented with a complete new set of rules and changes to make up for the difference in MU a hunter gets (which is 2-5 esi a day in hardcore mode during events and which means a lot as the losses are much higher during those times)
