An alternative already exists, it's called the GTN. I managed to get two of the pieces of armor I wanted for my jugg ( Revan's chest and leg pieces) for just over 40,000 credits the other day. Even if I don't use my stipend or buy more cartel coins I can still get the items that I want.
As for all of the threads you mentioned about f2p and cartel market hate, I've noticed it's mostly the same posters over and over again.
