Is there a way to do this? I'd really love to be able to hand some out every week for my podcast, good way to give back to the community.

    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

    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.
