As someone who doesn't care for points much I don't get the outrage.
First off,the pawnshop had one use and I wish they would add a new use for it instead of removing all functionality. Ex: buying used guns (lower quality then normal) for cheap.
Also you can sell a bigger quantity of points for a bigger price than normal if you notice no one else is selling that same amount and I know you can buy points again and again, but I'm to lazy to buy them individually, I'd rather buy them all at once from one guy.
Ive noticed you can make more money from selling them not to the pawn shop but to the normal trading place thingie.
maybe it's just me though.
