Can people.....

send you stuff on your wish list? its kinda confusing on how the wish-list works?

Sadly no.

The wish list is merely a tool for you to keep track of things you want to buy but would rather wait for;
The funds to purchase it
A sale
Doing more research

So you see something you want, but can't afford it until payday. You can add it to the Wishlist and that way you won't forget what it was and you won't have to go searching again.

At this time, we can't even gift points to others.

What's lame is that Amazon (and others) have managed to change the meaning of a straightforward phrase so that people think that it's misleading when used properly.

The main use of the wish list is to tell the marketing people what people want to buy but are not quite willing to at the current price/time. I can't imagine that they're not data mining wish lists to drive special offers but if they're not then they should be.

I too blame Amazon. Traditionally what Amazon calls a Wishlist is normally called a Registry, a list of items you would want others to buy for you as well as to coordinate purchases so you won't get three of the same thing when you only asked for one.

All I meant was that a wish list (or wishlist) used to mean simply a list of things someone wanted.
Now that Amazon have loaded the phrase with the expectation that it will be backed by a particular service it's difficult to think of an alternative that would describe the CoH version. Shortlist (or short list) perhaps?

Shopping list?

like on the sims website you have a wish list and others can send U items on your wish lisist and sometimes they even do the sims people send you stuff.

Like coh should do the same.

And when they do, it would be cool if you could have the option of making your wishlist public, and then tying it in to your forum handle and global email. So for example, if you win a costume contest, then a potential prize would be to have the contest sponsor look on your wishlist and buy something up to whatever # of points they wanted. Or everyone who likes Samuraiko's videos could chip in and buy her things from her wishlist.

"Want List!"

As much as I'd like the idea of being able to buy a few things for in game friends, I think this won't happen because of the fear of people charging, in a sense, real money for stuff.

Example: I give you a billion inf, and you give me 800 points worth of x or y.

Or, I pl you to 50 and you give me x or y IO sets of this type or that.

Myself, I'd like to be able to give a few points for team inspirations so I don't have to carry them all myself.

But, those lowly RMTers and the like have ruined it for the rest of us.

I would like to be wrong about it, though.
