On paper, ya that's it, the main difference is now there is a system for doing it. All it does is make the EC tunnel "Minigamer" into an actual profession of sorts.
I defo remember people offering to buy gear in dungeons though, can't say if they resold it.
The only reason I think people will use it as an excuse (to train) is because people are already grasping at straws for excuses for training people.

I don't wanna wet blanket the system too much but, I think the system is a pointless side point in the scope of the games design.
I get that "different people are doing different things" on their team but I think they need to snip some concepts from the game at this point over adding more things that are marginally "sidegrade" in nature. Like you said, the EC tunnel already existed...the bazaar already exists...there really isn't a need or point to altering that landscape unless you have a concept that's altering it in a meaningful manner.
You have things like "Etiquette" and "Diplomacy" in game that have 0 purpose.
You have many trade-skills that are so out of scope for the available content that it trivializes things OR become irrelevant almost immediately.
So many things in-game need to be worked on or fleshed out and I don't wanna sound like an asshole splitting hairs but god damn it's giving ME anxiety and I'm not even working on it.
Like holy shit, there is so much to do and they are fuckin picking out wall-paper.
