I'm selling PLEX to play the game the way I want to, which is not grinding ISK...
And my way to play EVE couldn't be farther away from what the average player would call "winning"...
Also I'm making a lot of players happy who don't have to pay real money to play...
A service to the EVE community, I'd say...  |

So, you're using ISK as your "score", I take it. |

People who actually played to win and put that effort in. If you approve of PLEX for these reasons, you cannot disapprove of RMT. They are the same thing, except one is legal because it means CCP gets to line their pockets with more money and the other is illegal because it lines some chinese guy's pockets with more money and CCP hates being undercut. The fact is, they should both be illegal. These are the practices (pay for virtual goods with real cash) that caused EA to be named worst company of the year.
But its not, that isk wasnt generated out fo nowhere, it was worked for by the people who bought it.
no different then if you didnt do anything for a month, and then sold a battleship you no longer want to a player who HAS been grinding isk all month.
its a simple commodity to facilitate the transfer of isk, in which BOTH parties gain what they woulod otherwise be denied, seller-party gains isk they wouldnt otherwise ahev the time to get, buyer-party gains another month of gametime they otherwise couldnt afford. |

Botters being banned? Guess they missed the 20-30 mackinkaw npc corp bots who mine in the Gekutami ice field (they warp out if you lock them and then warp straight back, they'll do this all day). |

If PLEX are such an anathema to EVE, it seems strange that other games are following the lead and adopting similar strategies to combat RMT. I think those arguing against GTC/PLEX are in the minority.

They're not the same thing. PLEX are sold by CCP, so CCP profit from their game and service they provide for that game. RMTers, make a profit from something that does not even belong to them and have no right to do so.
In a game that caters to scammers, thieves and griefers, your expecting people to be honest???

It's pretty much impossible to stop RMT. If you remove plex all it'll do is increase botters and RMT companies. |

PLEX cannot be P2W for the simple reason of being market controlled, AND a item ingame. (IE destructable)
Buying your PLEX guarentees you nothing. First you have to sell it ingame, which is not guarenteed, and the amount you get is anywhere between 0.00 isk and infinite isk.
P2W guarentees you an advantage over a non paying player.
