If this is introduced it will effectively allow ISK to be traded for RL goods. Have CCP considered the tax implications of this since in-game ISK can now be considered to be RL income?

My feelings on the matter however it is a ripoff no matter how much you want to empathize how FREE it is, it is still a ****** graphics card and the whole concept just screams RMT.

1. CCP can't do RMT, unless you want to say that playing the game is RMT - you pay CCP $$$ and they give you opportunity to earn ISK

2. This offer is reverse of redeeming your GTC or whatever for PLEX. It is not an ISK sink, it is a PLEX sink. It is like the Aurum stuff. They could have just sold video card for Aurum in the special store. It would have been equivalent.

I hope that clears it up for you.

PS. Yes, I'm probably giving CCP ideas again - Aurum for RL stuff, like Quafe or those model ships.

The problem is that even if you don't spend your ISK on RL goods, the fact that you can spend it means that tax authorities might consider the ISK you make in-game to be RL income.
