Well if we take that analogy, then almost any lottery award can be bought with TP, so therefore has a monetary value.
Its a hard thing to get my head around, but TP is awarded for nothing for game deeds/quests etc, TP is given for nothing monthly to VIP/Lifers etc. TP also can be purchased for R/L money. Rewards for lotteries hold no monetary value, unless you buy TP to buy these items. So therefore unless you buy TP to buy a horse it should have no value in RL, so the horse given away has no monetary value.

Its bloody confusing, but I see your point Sapience, and feel your angst when consumers like us from other nations come on here moaning about this and that. While I know that you yourself have no control over these issues, I would hope that we could get an official Turbine report on this issue from one of the powers that be in your legal dept.
