@Denis Dyack of course Platinum trading once the game is live can lead to all sorts of "fun" abuse. I don't think you need that anymore once the game is live anyway*, because people will know in advance what they want to spend their Platinum on before even buying into it. Currently the situation is a bit different in that regard.
I guess what I was more asking is, will the Platinum come in the form of a coupon I can redeem for any account - thus, could also give it to someone else
before adding it to my account - or will it strictly be applied to my account directly, say, based on the e-mail address I register with?
* except maybe if one person legitimately wants to gift another, but maybe that would also be safer to do out of game using coupons...?
