You're right. The person RMTing against SE's EULA would definetly be able to keep his account(s) running without spending one dollar as long as there's enough supply of PLEX/Crysta/ w/e available on the market.

The PLEX/crysta is meant to be tradeable and resellable, so in theory, this could happen.

This, however, never happened in EvE Online. There are people in the game that could easily do so, but they don't. The fact that CCP is hardcapping the price on PLEX is key.

No more PLEX for an acceptable amount of money available on markets would result in all players currently using PLEX return to the normal method of recurring payment via bank transfer. Actually, every EvE-player is at all times subscribed via a payment method, CCP simply isn't pulling any money as long as theres gametime via PLEX active.

All players who want to sell PLEX to receive ingame currency in return simply buy them from CCP and put them up for the usual amount.
