Can I transfer points or effects/pets to a friend as a gift?

Normally no but contact support.

Sadly GGG doesn't do this :(

Unfortunately we don't have a system for transfers or reselling of purchases between accounts either, as this could be abused.

We do appreciate all your support toward Path of Exile and are sorry that we could not satisfy your request in this matter - if there's anything else we can do for you, or if you have any further questions please let us know.

I'm afraid we can not do this for you even if both players agree. Our policy doesn't allow us to transfer microtransactions or points between accounts. Sorry about that.

Hopefully they change their policy...

(If quoting support isn't allowed, feel free to remove the quotas from my post, GGG)

You could offer microtransactions/points in exchange for ingame goods this way. Say, you want to buy an expensive unique and don't have heaps of exalts but could offer to transfer 200 points for it, then you would effectively buy that item with $$ instead of ingame currency. Which is RMT and therefore forbidden. :-)

You can't earn point by playing the game. You need to "donate/purchase" it from GGG, right? You can't sell the points/effects/pets back to money, how come it becomes RMT ... You can give point to guild, which is equalvent to the guild leader, so is that RMT?

Maybe just a gift package you can purchase from GGG and give it once?

Um... let's try this again, then: By being able to buy points that are transferable to other accounts, people would be able to buy ingame goods for real money. Apart from safety issues like with cross-league trading you could offer to buy ingame items with non-ingame currency that involves the exchange of something bought with real money. Which is R(eal) M(oney) T(rading) and therefore not allowed.

I get your idea but you can't castrate all men to prevent rape.

There always RMT site here sell and buy orbs/items. It's bannable if caught; can't they just do the same for people trading points for ingame items?

Lets forget transferring points. Let's the players to use points to purchase a gift and send to friends sounds a great idea. GGG would surely get a lot more microtransaction and we can have special package on xmas, valentie's, etc.

They've replied to these requests in the past with "contact support and we'll see if we can work something out". I think they have to evaluate both accounts to make sure it's not being abused. Contact support directly.
