Obviously this sub forum was created by Gree or someone connected to Gree. So in my eyes, they like and want to see people making these in-game trades. I think it's pretty cool. I have already sold Uzis myself to benefit my syndicate. Currently, when you leave a syndicate your stats are lost. The thing that I wish was written into the programming is, if you have donated money/Uzis/bricks to a syndicate and then leave the stats/ranking are still "lost," however, if and when you return to that syndicate your stats are returned as well.
