I'm not saying that I think NCSoft would lose a case like this, but would they want to deal with the mess till they won? Credit card companies are required by law to block payments to online gambling sites. If NCSoft get marked as a gambling company, all credit card payments would be blocked till they could prove that they were not. We are talking a lot of lost subscription payments till the courts clear NCSoft. Would you put up with having to buy time cards from your local store (if they carry them) to keep playing the game?

Technically, inf has a conversion rate. I dunno what the price for influence/infamy on Virtue is but ask any seller and they will be able to tell you the value of influence. So yes, Inf 'technically' does have a value even if NCsoft does not approve of it.
