To the people that make the argument it is easier to pay the 15 or 20 bucks to re-sub your account I agree, but no one who plays this game for any length of time has only one account. I am fairly casual, and have several accounts myself. The skill system design requires alts of one sort or another.
This game in no way can justify my paying $60 a month to keep my subs active, and in all honesty, EVE should be a free to play game with perks for paying a sub.
Before PLEX was introduced, EVE was going under. If PLEX price becomes unaffordable it will happen again.
The ability to for the average player to pay for game time by actively playing the game is what saved EVE.
Who are you talking to? The people who are paying for your subs? Your argument seems to be that they should get less ISK for their money because you want to play for free more easily.

Your reading comprehension must be off, Nice diversion though calling people that plex their accounts thief's, robbing those poor souls with barely enough disposable real money to buy extra plex to convert to isk.. We 're taking fantasy sandwiches right out of the mouths of those poor avatars because we won't buy their PLEX. You are right of course, plex should be at least 4 billion isk to keep the poor avatars fed. it would be great for business for about a month.
Is that what I said?
OK.

A plastic bag with some solvents in, would be my guess.

Your argument seems to be that they should get less ISK for their money because you want to play for free more easily. Not that I disagree with your general statement, but I do take issue with your last line. You play for free with PLEX the same as your ships are free because you mined the material yourself. Or you undercut the materials market because the minerals you mine are free. In other words, not free in the least. Mr Epeen 
"Free" in the real world currency sense that one can get a "free" ball while playing pinball.

This may well result in the game being less Alts Online and more Eve Online.
That might be an interesting consequence.
Another would yet more RMTers walking away.

Another, much larger possibility is that more players want to buy PLEX for ISK than want to pay CCP real money.
