are an item that we own. its also the only item not allowed in our trade feature. most know that points can be traded through a faction but that has been a faulty scam for some. of course they can always be sold in the points market but why do we have to go through all that inconvenience? points are money. shouldnt we be allowed to control them in a safe manner like all our other assets? ive thought about the effects on the points market if points were allowed in trade features. i dont think it would hurt the market at all. new points come into the game all the time and many would still sell theirs in the market. im not really pro or con on the idea. more could be said im sure. its just something ive been wondering about and i'd like to hear your thoughts on it.

Isn't this a suggestion?

I would like some paragraphs though xD
I think this is a good idea. As the op indicated, points are a currency of sorts. I often get people interested in doing trades but don't have liquid cash and keep their money in points. Ched nerfed mugging, put bet winnings in banking, so why haven't points received the same consideration?
All that happens now is that a person puts their points up for sale at a lower price for a trade in the hopes that someone else doesn't snatch them up. Most point sellers know to put small amounts for sale now and to protect themselves by getting mugged prior to listing, so it's silly to not have improved the point system already.
I know a lot of us use points as money storage but i think ched intended their purpose to be something we use only. So i doubt he will make trading them any easier.
You sir, got a good point there. Unlike Ched's points, which can't be tradded and are utter rubbish.
This.
so far, points are not trade-able cause they only affect us. For the refills and expanding list, and more.
What would be possible is to suggest a certain amount as maximum points traded daily to avoid the sudden change in points price. Take it like the city items. So like, 1000 points maximum in a trade?
at one point there was a cap on point prices in the market.. if its still in effect i dont see a problem. points sold are money for players. there is no governing the amount of cash spent anywhere in the game. some people prefer cash for trades. i dont think regulating sales at the points market is a good idea.
I have been thinking about it for a long time.
