I understand that using real money is bad, but what if I use some WoW gold to buy a t2 BPO? WoW gold is not real money, so it can't be classed as RMT. Or is virtual money from games other than Eve transactions (VMFGOTET) also bad?
This is actually a very good question. What would be the policy on that, ignoring the fact that it is terribly unsecure for the involved parties? (Well, unless Chribba decides to make a W*W trial alt.)

The whole RMT rule is that you're not allowed to exchange in-game items or money for out-of-game stuff.
WoW gold is out-of-game stuff.
So that falls under the same rule as any old RMT: it's a no-no.
EULA, article 7.5:
Quote:
You may not engage in any conduct that results in an Account containing items, objects, currency, character attributes, rank, or status that are inappropriate for the level or rank of the character contained in the Account, including without limitation arranging, making or accepting transfers of items to a character without adequate consideration, thereby augmenting or aggregating items in an Account and increasing its value for an Account sale.
Ban policy:
Quote:
4. ILLEGAL TRANSFER OF GAME ITEMS
An immediate permanent ban of an account may result if a player is found to be:
a. Selling in-game goods or services for real world currency through an online auction site or any other venue.
b. Advertising the sale of EVE in-game goods or services for real world currency through an online auction site by using the in-game chat channels, through our forums or by any other venue.
Severe offences may result in an immediate ban without warning; however. warnings may be given for first time offenses, followed by account suspensions of varying degree and ultimately a permanent ban if a player:
a. Buys in-game goods or services for real world currency through an online auction site or any other venue.
You're most probably right, but I guess there is no real formal basis for it in CCP's policies.
