Why would a company that rewards 'Loyalty'... allow that loyalty to be traded to other people?

I hate the idea as it homogenizes LP stores and markets, cutting opportunities for mission runners to exploit arbitrage who do research. We have a mechanism in place to trade LP, through just one level of indirection called the market, and its up to individual LP holders to determine their exchange rate.

yes, but as you said LP is worth nothing until you put it on the market. The proposal only changes who puts it on the market. In fact its very similar to the tags4sec thing. It decouples two professions.

companies don't care about loyalty. They want you to collect points and give them your money, thats all.
