Dearest Ben:

I have purchased all skills offered, and the pick pocket from the Dies,whom I had good standing with. However, there's nothing available to buy, I presently own 39 buy skills. I only lack what "La Costra Nostra", has to offer, which is the Safe Cracking skill, and what "The Order of Socrates" gives, once my standing is good with either or. At the present time I'm building my standing up with La Costra, to purchase the safe cracking skills, but until I do, here is my question. Would it be possible for you to allow agents to transfer the extra buy skills they can not use, or sell them to another agent within their agency. Since I have 39 buy skills, I only need 20 of them to purchase the remaining two skills, which are with "La Costra Nostra, & The Order of Socrates." Since we're able to transfer money to each other or other agents, this would be helpful to the new agents that has joined our agency, in need of skills. I appreciate your consideration in this matter. I look forward to your reply.

i think skills should be earned by solving cases. in a game this equals learning. i also dont support giving agents solved cases so they can do harder ones faster, i think there is a big difference between trying and getting help with a case or getting one that some1 else solved. its ur choise ofcourse...
sharing money or gifts is another thing.
i also agree with clarice about giving a big advantage this way to "old" agencies.

Yeah, but the way I see it, you could say that they are teaching the person who receives the skills. Maybe you could only do it if you have all skills, or all non secret skills.
