Alright so I've been thinking
why do people do point commissions?

I mean, I understand doing commissions for money and all that jazz
but doing them for points just seems stupid.

I'm pretty sure that you can't change accumulated points into currency. It doesn't seem like I gain anything from it but fake money.
The commissioner doesn't really pay you anything.

It's even worse when an artist has cash and point commissions open. I always feel like anyone who "buys" a point commission is almost cheating the artist because they can't pay the $ price for the exact same thing.

And it seems that artists who do commissions for money aren't as popular just because they want to make a profit from actual money and not site restricted virtual coins. It kind of rubs me the wrong way.
I've also seen people get mad at artists for only having money commissions and not point ones.

I understand that some people don't have money and everyone wants free stuff, but I think the whole points thing is really stupid. Why can't we just have a black and white 'free and not free.' It's unnecessary, and can be insulting to some artists who work really hard to make a living off of their art and selling it to customers.

I don't know man, I want to hear some other opinions before I make a final draft on it.
