This allows players with disposable real-world income to easily acquire large quantities of ISK, and, conversely, players with large quantities of ISK to pay for their game subscriptions with ISK instead of real-world money. It's also possible to buy PLEX with real-world money and use it to pay for game time; however, it's almost always cheaper to buy game time (with real-world money) directly instead of buying PLEX (PLEX is more versatile and therefore tends to be more expensive than straight-up game time).
