Crown selling need a proper system.

This would make the game pay-to-win, as there would be a way to directly buy gold. The fact that ZOS allows crownselling/buying, does not mean they should do anything with it. Technically I do not think crownselling is even allowed through the TOS.

I do understand where the idea is coming from though, and scammers are terrible. Scammers should all be banned in my opinion. But this would be a PR disaster for an MMO where some (new) players already can't differentiate the crownstore from pay-to-win. And it is better for ZOS to avoid such bad PR. (Not to mention the fallout when someone would buy gold, and notice it would have been cheaper on another guildtrader. Players would feel bad for losing real money, and would ask for transactions to be reversed.)

This already happens though.

You buy crowns -> Sell crowns -> Buy any carry you want with a swipe.

WoW has the token. GW2 has the gem currency exchange. There is plenty of precedent for it. I’m all for it.

Rift also has something similar, also they allow players to sell mounts they get from crates to other players via auction house. I haven't played Rift in 5 years but that's how it was when I was there.

I just wish you could actually buy the crowns rather than specific items. I like having a supply of crowns for small housing items and other such things and it would be nice if I could buy 5000 crowns for example just to have on hand.
