See message of ZOS:
Starting today, we are pausing in-game gifting (via the Crown Store) for the foreseeable future due to ongoing fraudulent behavior. We understand that the ability to gift to friends and guildmates is desired and of value to many of you. We will continue to explore options that will allow us to re-enable in-game gifting again in the future.
Thank you all for your understanding and continued support.

How about adding a 30 days cool down before you can gift to a friend or a guildmates ?
(not only the 30 days cool down before you can gift anything at all, but also aloneenabling gifting when you are friends for more than 30 days)

"I still do not understand why I followed the advice of Captain Rana to bring the villagers of Bleakrock into safety. We should have fought for our village and not have backed down, with our tail between our legs. Now my home village is in shambles, the houses burning, the invaders feasting.I swear every day to Shor that after Molag Bal has been defeated, I will hunt down the invaders and restore peace in Bleakrock and drink my mead with my friends at the market place".PC-EU

✭As I said in the other thread on this subject:
When they allowed the gifting and basically OKed Gold for Crowns, but did not make it actually available to do in the U/I or somewhere else that actually in the game other than player chat. They could not see the extremely high possibility of scamming, fraud, and other shenanigans?Si vis pacem, para bellum0 -
GeneralEU✭✭✭It's probably high time to make a LEGAL "Crown Store Exchange" system. This will reduce scams by 90%!
So someone will show their e.g. 4k crowns for the sale of e.g. 1 crown 2,000 gold, and the buyer can buy anything up to this amount. The seller's crowns will then be deducted from his account and the gold will be sent to his in-game mail.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭That's a good idea: enable gifting if you've been friends or guildmates with someone for at least 30 days. This will preserve their intended use cases of gifting.
I've been seeing a lot of ads in zone chat for a gold-selling service. Before this, I haven't seen gold sellers advertise in-game for years, but in recent months, I've seen those ads every single day. I wonder if this is related? Imagine if a criminal stole credit card numbers, used them to buy crowns, sell those crowns for gold, and then sold that gold for money, which effectively launders the money from the stolen cards. And maybe this is why there have been so many gold-seller spam in chat?
If this is indeed the kind of fraudulent behavior that ZOS is concerned about, then a requirement that people be friends or guildmates for X number of days would prevent that kind of abuse, while allowing legit use cases (e.g., I often gift items from my main account to my alt account).Nightfighters ― PC/NA and PC/EU
