Crown Store Gift Opt-out

Is it possible to opt-out of Crown Store gifts so it's impossible to receive them?
I don't like any form of RMT within games. Thus I do not like the Crown Store or the RMT opportunities the gift function provides. That means I don't want to send or receive Crown gifts.
Not all of my friends are aware of my position on this so I may occasionally be sent a gift that I am uncomfortable receiving. An awkward conversation always follows. I would prefer to avoid this in the future.
In some cultures, turning down a gift is quite offensive, so it can be a sensitive issue. I regret being put in this position.
If there is no Crown Store Gift opt-out function, I hope ZOS will consider adding one.

That's kind of a tough stance. How would you feel if someone threw your gift back in your face? At any rate, did OP check if this is a gift for the friend to earn the gryphon pet? Maybe it's a one off; give it a pass, then let everyone know "I have a new resolution so please don't send me crown gifts starting 2019..."3 -

✭✭He has a point. Yes he can decide to not accept the gift but at that point haven't the Crown points been spent (I've never gifted so don't know)? That wastes the money of the gifter needlessly when it could have been rejected before the transaction completes.2 -

✭✭✭✭The rejected gifts can be used again, so it’s not really a waste
And at the very least crown gifts are direct purchases only. With the exception of crown crates, this is the least skeevy RMT you could ask for, as much a RMT as buying a collectors edition for the extra cosmetics0 -

If the sender wants to spend money then they can. It's not your money why do you care?0 -

Crown points are spent, and the original sender receives the item back. They can send it to a new recipient, but they can't use it themselves.
The officers in my trade guild were bouncing a dye pack around for a week until someone accidentally accepted it.6 -

EphemeraCrawford✭✭✭✭RMT for in-game items is not like the gambling crates, in that you get what you pay for. It's a good way to support the game.4 -

I have a large friends list of people that includes many players I don't 'know' beyond having done a dungeon or two with because a random player was soloing an area I was soloing, and I grouped for either the bonus, or to help a newb.
I generally send the friend invite stating that it's useful knowing a lot of players because it's helpful to be able to choose players to port to on occasion.
I usually offer 'friend' and follow it up with an offer to craft stuff they may need to research if they need something in future.
That doesn't mean I want gifts to start showing up from casuals, and I don't want to have to reciprocate just to keep things fair and even, either.
While I gift on occasion to closer friends, I'm uncomfortable with a random gift showing up from someone I barely know, so I just ignore it most often if theres no other communications so it will hopefully return the crowns to their account when it expires.
No salt here.
I just don't need people spending money on me when I don't need something that costs money if we're not bffs as it is.
I'm far enough along in the game where I'd rather help than be helped.

^ I have to agree with this.Just lighten up dude.
It's a gift
Though I do understand your dislike of the crown store the thing is the gift is as much for them as for you, in that they enjoy giving you something. Just take it in the spirit it's intended, say thank you, and let it go. Surely it doesn't happen THAT often to make a big deal of it.The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls. ~Pablo Picasso5 -
Matchimus✭✭✭✭✭If I 'gift' something knowing I will get something for doing so...can it be called a gift?
Gift me without conditions I will gladly accept. Gift me because you get something out of it makes the experience feel hollow/used. I think I get where op is coming from.
If ppl want to exchange crown items to obtain the 'gift'...no probs.
I don't like the thought of option to opt out as ppl could do this without knowing the implications thereby reducing income to keep this game going. Don't want to accept it, just do so.1 -
PrayingSeraph✭✭✭✭✭I understand why you may not want anything to do with RMT, but I agree with others, at that point you should graciously accept the gift. If not for your benefit, then for theirs...
It's the selfless thing to do in this case2
