Unfortunately, ZOS has decided to distance themselves from it as much as possible to make things easy for themselves. There are likely some legal issues that other games seem to have solved, but ZOS isn't willing to look at. Due to this desire to keep distance, they won't likely devote any resources into making a safe system for players.
They could implement a system in any number of ways, but they just haven't decided it's worth the resources, whether it's dev time or having lawyers look at the money side of it. They have made the decision that having players get scammed and having their CS team deal with the repercussions of that is the better course. When you look at it that way, if they look at this topic again, they may decide the easiest, cheapest solution is to just state that crowns for gold is no longer endorsed and is a TOS violation. That way they don't have to spend any money and can free up their CS reps.
