But the key here is that they're consumable. People buy PLEX because they want to extend their account play time without paying real $$--that's the only reason they have value in-game. So in EVE, this process is zero-sum.

One amendment to this part...what CCP has to be careful of in this case is people buying PLEX off the market as an in-game investment. Buy them when the price is low, sell when the price is high. That's generating wealth that isn't being directly consumed by the process. But, it's not nearly as much as the full value of the PLEX, and they have enough isk sinks to counter that.
