There's nothing you can do with an alt that you can't do with a single account and some friends / allies / hired help.
There's nothing you can purchase after selling PLEX that you can't purchase without it.
"Pay to win" implies that you pay extra money to receive perks that are completely unavailable to those not willing to pay the extra cash. If you can't see the problem with that, get outta my Eve.

It is the same. THE SAME.
No, it's not.
I can buy a PLEX on the market and cash it in with the agent.
I can't buy $15 on the market and give it to the agent.
Do you see the difference? With PLEX being the *sole* method of RMT in Eve, it allows those who don't use RMT to still gain access to all the same features, by purchasing PLEX from those who *do* RMT.

Thus, P2W.
If you spend $1,000 on Eve tonight, how does that give you an advantage over me? What does it get you that I can't get?

I want to elaborate on this. First, thanks to the RMT addicts, I'm able to pay for all of my accounts with PLEX purchased on the market. So putting PLEX in the system sort of negates the argument that multiboxing is P2W, as anyone can multibox if they can figure out how to afford a PLEX at market prices. Second, multiboxing does not enable me to do anything I couldn't accomplish with a single account and help from friends. Multiboxing allows me to take care of tedious jobs like transportation without shoving it off on someone else.

3b an hour? That's got to be a return on a rather large investment, which makes it impractical for the player who's trying to figure out how to afford PLEX.
Realistically, it's not out of the question to make over 100M an hour if you're willing to accept some risk. In time you can get quite a bit more if you know what you're doing and work with the right people. I put in that effort in game time in order to not have to spend real money on Eve.
