1. join a crown exchange Discord
2. Always insist on a middle man
3. Record the Transaction to use as evidence
As a GM we are not responsible for refunding lost gold, most GM's take their role very seriously and we are held accountable if we allow members to scam or use exploits ect (as per the new TOS)
And Just like ZOS (speaking for myself) GM's will not always tell you what has been done.
I am sorry for your experience but clumping together all the GM's and making them scapegoats for your misfortune is not the way to deal with it.

I too want to buy an item that will be gone in a few hours and cannot find a secure way of buying it with gold.
Doesn't matter, I'll live without the item, but I understand that many are falling for scammers right now and that scammers are thriving.
(I've been scammed ONCE and refunded by ZOS, but I never expected them to. They have no obligation to do so and they won't do it twice).

Forum moderation and in-game moderation are done by two different teams (companies). It is much easier to delete post and suspend accounts on forums then in-game.

I wasn't saying the option is there, I was asking if it's there.
But you can still gift it using the store of whatever platform you’re using. I’ve gifted a chapter to a friend, and my husband gifted me the latest chapter as a pre-order. Just because you can’t do it through the crown store doesn’t mean it’s not possible.anitajoneb17_ESO wrote: »SeaGtGruff wrote: »joerginger wrote: »This hasn't been possible at all last time I looked.

I don't think he was asking you, but rather the person who told the story of a stranger spontaneously offering the "Greymoor DLC" to another stranger ingame. But since Greymoor isn't a DLC and cannot be gifted via crowns or anything,the story looks pretty fake. Too bad, was a nice story.
You can try and blame ZoS or GM's or other people, but the truth is, if the buyer/seller gets scammed, it's their own fault.It is actually ZoS fault. They could easily implement system for these transactions ingame.
