I don't think it would break the game as much as a lot of people do. Large corps would just buy BPO and make the goods to give out for free to infantry. Large, rich groups will always have more and be able to do more because everyone wants to be rich and many move to the corp that can pay the most and there is great power in high numbers. If those numbers are well organized then they are hard to counter or stop.
Small groups will almost always have it tougher than a large group. We all want total integration in to EVE but I don't think you all want it like you think you do. What if you couldn't find your favorite suit and when you did it was 15 jumps from your location, you hire the pilot to go and get your suits for a total of 1M ISK for 15 suits. Lets also say that pilot has to fly through three low security systems on the way there and then the same three on the way back. That is 30 jumps and we'll say the average time is 45 seconds a jump. That is 22.5 minutes just to get there and back as fast as they can. Are you willing to wait 23 minutes for your suit? What if that pilot gets popped in one of those low sec systems or ganked outside your station? You just lost 1M ISK and waited 30 minutes for nothing.
Moving ISK between the game isn't going to break it as bad as everyone thinks, it won't be any worse than it is on the New Eden side. Yes people can buy up the market but there will always those whom undercut prices, the market and ISK transfers would help, in my opinion, more than it would hurt. Prices will go up but it would probably put a huge dent in proto stomping but with the way matches are created and without being able to move around, choose your home, choose what system to fight in, choose what sec stat to fight in and a host of other reasons then it probably wouldn't be doable. We have absolutely no choices so why would it matter if I have 50B ISK or 50M ISK.
No market and no choices means vast sums of ISK are meaningless unless you are bad at managing your wallet or just starting out.
