    Generally agree but where does that leave us with the system that I think EVE started where can buy an in-game token for £15, redeem it for a month subscription or trade them with other players.

      I’m sure they could draft something that allows that sort of thing still. The currency in games like EVE/WoW/RuneScape is technically an in-game item rather than a currency for a storefront.

      If that sort of thing would end up being abused, then it’d have to go obviously.

        That is the problem I can see though, allowing one allows pushing it too. Games start to sell a shitload of cash shop things with the same method, EVE seems to be trying to do that too last time I played it.

          Ban it all then. I’d personally ban all extra transactions in games to be honest, but we can start with removing virtual currency.
