It has come to my attention in recent faction chat that there is not a way to exchange Points directly to another player. I think this could be resolved easily by adding a "Points" category to the trade function, alongside "Cash", "Property", and "Items." I dont see any reason that this option would negatively affect the economic well-being of Point values on the market, and furthermore i think this change could add a new element to the game, making Points more viable and a sort of secondary form of currency. Adding Points to the Trade function will increase private trade, bringing demand down. Prices in the market will go up as a result. This move would actually increase capital gain across the board.

Nice idea. R+
The point of points not being tradable is so you can't eliminate the risk of mugging, giving the game that little bit more depth. If they were to become tradable, they'd also have to become a muggable currency.
If anything, I think making points optional to be traded would add to the games dynamic, making items in the points building more readily available. I do NOT think that mugging would change all that much being that once you have the items in the Points building, there are only a few remaining things which have limited usage anyhow, and not everyone is highly concerned with those things. There is no need to make Points muggable. Fact of the matter, if you don't want to trade for points, don't. If you want to set someone up for a trade mug, tell them you want cash.
