Here's a simplistic scenario :-
I Spend $10 for a PLEX on the site.
You who have billions of ISK buy the PLEX for 400Million ISK
You buy more.
And more.
You use a PLEX to fund an account, however many you may have, 1 or 20, does not matter.
You do not pay $20 to sub for a couple of months, not ever.
Say 50,000 accounts on the system.
10,000 are paying hard cash for subs
5,000 are paying hard cash for PLEX
There's a defecit of real money, real money not going to CCP.
Funding an account by buying and using ingame PLEX is a loss for CCP.
CCP is bleeding badly because of PLEX for subs.
Do you always fail at life? How hard is it to understand this mechanic of exchanging time for money? CCP still gets the same amount of revenue...actually they probably benefit from more subscribers because they allow us that basic exchange.
Subscriber X is handicapped and can't work therefore not having much left over cash. He does have time to grind missions or incursions with friends. Subscriber Y is a 45-60 hour a week worker who doesn't have much time to earn ISK to pay for his play style. Subscriber X purchases game time from Subscriber Y using ISK as the currency. Where does CCP not get money in this?

If you would say that more accounts create more ISK: That is only true for botting (and that's baaaad hmmkay) and some industrial ventures.
Industry is not an isk faucet, you just get isk from other players. The #1 faucet in eve by far is rat bounties.
Perhaps Incursions have eclipsed rat bounties at this point...though technically rats their payouts are freaking ridiculous.

I've never done an incursion, but I thought most of the profit was in LP? And to spend LP you usually have to spend ISK too.
There is a lot of LP, to be sure. But Vanguard sites for example pay each pilot 10.5 million ISK. A decent fleet can clear 5-6 an hour. A dream team of officer fit epeen warriors have been clocked clearing 8-9 an hour. The two groups BTL and Datanian agree to farm these sites without taking down the mothership until the sansh are withdrawing....maximizing rewards. The only slow down comes during highly contested areas during Euro and American prime times.
