I'm not saying they shouldn't resolve the issue. But there IS a way to avoid it all coming out of the GM's pocket.
A few guildies chipping in to gift the Mundus Stones worked just fine for us. Doing it via crown gifting still means someone paid RL $$ to get them lol.
And also, trading RL money/Paypal to your guild leader to have them buy an item is directly against the TOS of the game AFAIK.

Just to clarify (and I'm not sure if this is even what you meant), we can't trade RL $$ for gold.
"Donate $5 for our mundus fund and we'll give you 500k gold" = against TOS
"Buy raffle tickets to win Necrom" = against TOS
"Donate $5 for our mundus fund and you could win an Amazon Gift Card" = OK (as far as I know).
Another example, we have a member that donates 4 xpacs every year. We give it away via free enter-to-win on our website (not via in-game paid raffle).
The only exception to this was trading gold for crowns (surprisingly) being blessed.

Gah! I thought just donating in-game covered everything. I hope ZOS fixes this! Or at the very least makes sure there is a away to donate crowns to the guild bank.
Donating def can (well, did) help!

fr that's just asking to be scammed. No way in Oblivion am I going to directly give real money, my full real name, address, and phone number to another player and anyone would be a fool to accept money from another player offering it.
Support and this forum are going to be flooded with "My guild leader stole my money!" or "I gave my guild leader money but I want it back!" type posts.

I'd love to see the relevant section of the TOS that states this, because I'd be shocked.
If someone gives me money out in the real world, and I use it to buy an item in the game for MY house, I don't see how that could possibly be against TOS. I'm not trading anything in-game to this person , which is where TOS violation comes into the picture.

That said, the crates have been temporary non giftable for 6 months now on PCNA.
Disabling gifting entirely is a much bigger revenue loss for ZoS though, so they'll probably get all hands on for it.
Either way maybe give them at least a full work week.
Everyone crying about the apocalypse hours after they made the change.

guild member is directly donating money to you in order to fund an in-game purchase which they'll take advantage of, which is real money for an in-game item.
