I think that once we've bought them we should be able to send them to friends, but somehow i just don't see it happening. I might just be being pessimistic though
Currently, Cryptic does not support or recognize the transfer of 'in-game' assists from one account to another... (Its in the Terms of Use statement)
10. Ownership/Selling of the Account or Virtual Items. Cryptic does not recognize the transfer of Accounts. You may not purchase, sell, gift or trade any Account, or offer to purchase, sell, gift or trade any Account, and any such attempt shall be null and void. Cryptic owns, has licensed, or otherwise has rights to all of the content that appears in the Game. You agree that you have no right or title in or to any such content, including the virtual goods or currency appearing or originating in the Game, Cryptic Points or any other attributes associated with the Account or stored on the Service ("Game Assets"). Cryptic does not recognize any Game Assets transfers executed outside of the Game or the purported sale, gift or trade in the "real world" of anything related to the Game. Accordingly, you may not sell Game Assets for "real" money or otherwise exchange items for value outside of the Game. Any such sale or exchange is a material breach of this Agreement for which Cryptic may (but is not obligated to) immediately suspend or terminate your account.
So how is it then that the Neutral Zone guys managed to buy 10,000 Cryptic Points and distribute them to people? Did they buy the in-game items then trade them to people? I thought those were Bind on Account items as soon as you purchased them.

They may have made special arrangements with the STO staff to do this...

If it can be done, it would require the permission and support of the STO staff..

That's what I'm wondering, how to go about that. I'll buy some Cpoints in bulk to give away, if there is some option to actually give them away.
