However, PLEX is demonstrably an RMT deterrent which will drastically reduce the prevalence of RMT bots and their impact on the normal, legal, functioning economy. EVE uses PLEX but they also play whack-a-mole just as much as SE does. There's no magic bullet single solution to defeating RMT.
I only brought D3 in to talk about personal experience with equilibrium points. Plex only introduced minor competition - comeptition doesnt drive the market away it just makes prices better for consumers.

RMT will still sell. I'm not sure why it is good to list a pro to the addition of plex as "lowers the cost of buying illegal currency".

You can't kill RMT. No one argued that you can or that PLEX can. You can just damage it, and in the process reduce its ability to generate currency and inject it into the market (reducing it's inflation effect).

That's what PLEX Does, in addition to helping the game retain subscribers.
All it will do is make RMT become competitive rather then having a monopoly on the market.

Rather then a happy bees-nest you decided to slap it and now have a competitive bees-nest.
