So a couple hours of incursions is too much for a plex?

A PLEX isn't a way for you to play for free.
It's a way for people that have less free time than you to pay more $$$s [i.e. cover your subs] so that they can keep up with you, while not removing you from the game.
Any other explanation is a good distraction from this reality. If other explanations help you stay in the game, you should ignore you read this post and go with that one.

Depends....
Do you like running incursions? If not, then maybe the answer is no.
What is your hourly wage (if salary use an imputed hourly wage), if it is more than $10/hour, then the answer is no.
If both are no (you do not like running incursions and your hourly income is greater than $10) then buying a PLEX instead is indeed a good decision.

Exactly. It is a form of mutually beneficial trade.
Player A is time constrained, but not income constrained (well not overly so).
Player B is income constrained, but has considerably more free time.
The PLEX market allows A and B to engage in a mutually beneficial trade. A buys a PLEX and then sells it to B in game for ISK. A gets the ISK he desires, but doesn't have the time to grind for, and A gets to extend his game time (which he may not be able to afford IRL) for a small portion of the ISK he has saved up. Both "win".

I have a job IRL. No need to have a job ingame as well. It doesn't matter if it's only an hour, or a couple.
I have a job. I have money. I'm not greedy. I don't waste money on crap. I care about more than just myself. EVE is a hobby well worth spending money on.

I can't remember off the top of my head which fanfest it was ('12, perhaps?), but there was an economy presentation where the number of PLEX they had seized was divulged and where they talked about what mechanics they had in place for moderating the PLEX market. Granted, the pile was staggeringly huge at the time, and they've used that strategy a couple of times since, but on the other hand I can't really imagine that rate at which they seize PLEX has slowed down all that much.

Decrease the income for activities people are already doing and they'll leave. I keep saying this and people keep leaving. And calling me names like troll for saying it.
Eve has an amazing power to allow people to rationalize the most incredible bullshit I have ever heard.

Ahh, well that is good then...having a large pile of seized PLEX. It does give CCP a way to combat inflation/ISK entering the economy and one that is not very obvious. For some reasons central bankers love doing things on the quiet.
