    When you introduce p2w or your own RMT system you will devalue the currency and thus inflate prices. Anyone who doesnt pay to win will therefore play the game at a slower rate.
    A PLEX system specifically combats inflation and is self-regulating such that if people who don't take part in it will be unaffected by it. Please read my original post for why that is.

    A lot of these concerned people aren't so much concerned about inflation or how it'll affect the in-game market.

    They are mostly concerned with someone paying real money to get ahead in the game.

    Everyone on both sides agrees that RMT cheaters/botters/spammers and economy manipulation are bad.

    No it doesnt combat inflation.

    It only creates a limit in the direction you can RMT. You can use real money to buy in game currency. The limit is you cant use in game currency to buy real money - you can only use it to buy time.

    Its an obstfucation of buying in game currency from an RMT but it is still buying in game currency.

    And it is untrue that people not taking part in it will not be affected.

    You are introducing a new method of passing around currency - that flow will go AROUND those players who dont take part. Effectively minimizing their ratios compared to those who are using real money.

    End result meaning - p2w has been legalized in game.
