The only reason against that I can see, with any plausibility, is CCP wants to protect certain RMT shops and that can only mean that CCP or someone high in CCP's management is making profit from it.


This.

RMT payments are likely not going to be reported as income, and therefore not taxed.

Pretty slick operation if that is actually what is going on. Wouldn't surprise me at all if it was true.

One needs proof before such actions are taken.

I am not sure I trust a translated transcript of a voice chat. That said I would like to remind CCP of two things:\

1. US anti-online gambling laws clearly say that while money in is OK (microtransactions) money out is not. The US government can and has had credit card companies and paypal refuse to make payments to offshore casinos.

2. Every time there is a cash out in EvE it opens up question about the taxation of virtual assets. Allowing RMT places all players in danger of RL tax consequences for playing EvE.


It's actually far worse than this - tax avoidance is one thing, the possibility of money laundering is quite another.
