I don't think this is the best idea.
It could give a large reason for accounts to start getting hacked.

P.S. I just want to get my friend the Hoverboard and Ninja Run.
Whilst I wouldn't want to see the transfer of PP, I wouldn't mind the option of sending 'gifts' that we brought from the store to friends

It's the (often illegal/shady/against game rules/will get your *** banned) practice of selling in game currrency or "game cash" (in our case, Paragon Points) for real money, whether via eBay, paypal, or other method

I used to get tons of emails from people advertising their selling of INF. Since you can buy PP with real money, why would someone buy it on ebay?

As VIP players get free PP, if PP was made tradable, they could undercut Paragon's prices for a little money here and there

Plus they could take payment for Inf/PL services in PP using a slightly inflated price and then resell the PP.

It sounded (on one of the last ustreams) like they may consider a way to let you buy points for others, or do something like game time cards with paragon points - not as in "We have it planned," but they seemed receptive to the idea.
We'll see if anything comes of it.

Why does it have to be that difficult? Why not just send some of my points?

I would like to be able to gift points in game as well.
