This is really scarry actually. Real Money for In Game items issues aside, it is absolutley and profoundly scarry how High Capitalism finds means and ways of creating the new needs.

If I had an Eve visa, I'd use it to pay for my Eve sub. I'd make isk while paying for the game, w00t.

I wonder how many cashiers will get laughing fits when they see THESE credit cards. Man, I'd probably die in shame if I had to pay with one of these.

Interesting problem for the in-game economies, since there is no way to control the amount of in-game currency that will flow in...

Agreed, but I'd probably use a credit card that had some of the better examples of EVE art on it. Just because it looked cool.

My bank Abbey do 'photocards'. You can upload any pic onto their webiste and resize and adjust it however you like to fit the card. Since you need an account to access the card maker here are some samples I made

That's neat! 
Checking to see if my bank does the custom things, too. I'd get one in a flash.

I'd get one if it wasn't for the ú10 (approx $17.50) charge for my bank to make it

My friend has a credit card with a store that's a real VISA and gives points for the store with purchases. He pays his home mortgage with the card every month, then pays that off with cash. $2000 monthly... that's a LOT of extra ISK/Gold/Credits/whatever being pumped into the game world.
I really wish people that have no concent of what a game is would stop trying to come up with ideas for games. This isn't a money making industry where anything you do won't have any effect on anything "real". Stupid greedy people.  I just want my games back. I don't want to play a business.
