    I think he misspoke. No one's buying power will change at all because no new currency will be introduced to circulation. The consumer price index (definition) will stay the same. When one person uses real money to purchase a PLEX and then sells it on the market wards, he is gaining money from another person who used to own that money. When he spends it on other items on the markets, he disseminates this money to the people who were selling those items. No money is created during this process, hence, no inflation or devaluing of currency. Besides, anything that can be purchased from the wards will be second-rate anyway since Yoshi-P has already stated that the best-in-slot gear will all be U/U drops from dungeons/bosses/whatever. At absolute worst, you'll find some PLEX buyers running around in double-meld gear while the real endgame players have full sets of Darklight or whatever is the best equipment in 2.0. If by pay-to-win, you mean pay-to-have-second-rate-equipment, then sure, call it that.
