CCP, Do it. Do it. Do it

Like graphics cards for isk?

This may be a shady precedent, just keep giving your goverment more reasons to Tax the videogames you play.

On the other hand this may lead to a new Rich Class lead by pro/powergamers, and of course massive RMT bots.

May lead to ....??????? aren't we there yet?

He did. You are completely disposable.

This.

But the important question is, how will it be taxed? Like actual income? Or like gambling?

If it's treated properly and I can write off rifter losses as business-related operating expenses, this might be a good thing.

Good to know.

Silentwitness, the balancing of the melee classes vs ranged classes on Inferno is broken. A +33% to dodge is worthless when the entire area around an enemy is covered in bad touch spots. There's no way to stay in melee range without dying, which means you run around like an idiot while the sorcerer or demon hunter does damage to the mob. It's okay if you lower our damage, just let us survive getting into close range.

Also, your puzzle pieces are too large or there aren't enough of them. The environments look terribly static.

This idea fail in EvE, because D3 got random unique items with random statistic, while in EvE all items got same atributes, who want pay for identical items.

Also no, even if items got rare statistic, this is EvE not H&S created by gredy company who know they cant win vs RMT... Blizzard lose this battle with all those who RMT so they decide to work with them by another way... CCP never surrender to those people ...

you can

sell D3 gear for $$ in the auction house, pay eve sub

It would be nice if players who are making alot of ISK can do something with it. Even if it was a case of trading ISK/PLEX for items which CCP and their partners wish to promote;

CCP sells Graphics cards for Plex

CCP sells Passes for Plex

The plex system went a long way to help CCP control some of the RMT and at least started putting some of the real money back into CCPs own pockets. If done carefully CCP could draw in yet another revenue stream which is currently being siphoned off by RMTrs. New players already spend real money to play EvE in easy mode. Easy mode equates to; buy plex with real money - sell plex for isk - buy ships and fittings - then die gloriously in a fire - Rinse and repeat!

If you give the players a 'legal' way to profit from gaming they will take it and work with you to help expose all the illegal or botting RMTrs.



Worth watching if you havn't already.
State of the economy 2012 - Youtube

One of the things that makes EvE great is its active economy. CCP will always go to alot of effort and expense to monitor and control the economy. As mentioned in the above video CCP will be starting to introduce a lot of new sinks since the economy is growing to fast.
