The idea of paying real money for fake money baffles me. Honestly, I think it's weird that people sell crowns for gold.

So you can expect the pricetag would be around 50'000 Gold for 1000 crowns.

I would love a system similar to the WoW token or the GW2 Gem Exchange.
For anyone who hasn't played those games, or who has but hasn't payed attention to these exchanges, it doesn't create any new currency out of nothing. Instead the exchange rate depends on supply and demand of each currency.
No longer would people argue in zone chat if they think someone is charging too much or too little for Crown trading. No more worrying about "is this other person going to just take my money and run?"
Heck, something official like this would probably even increase Crown sales because people like OP who don't have enough time to farm for gold would instead buy Crowns and toss them into the pot for gold.

There needs to be an official way of doing this, some kind of COD system rather than abusing a facility meant for gifting, which isn't at risk of scammers before I'd chance my crowns.

I got scammed myself last year,I agree there should be an safer way of trading crowns for gold.
Like for example adding the item the person wants to the trade window,let the person put in the gold and once both parts accept the person gets charged the crowns,gets the gold and the other person gets the item all at the same time.

This is a HORRIBLE idea, people already trade gold for crowns in places like TCE. If it was able to be done in-game, sanctioned by ZOS, I can't even think of how bad the outcome would be. The economy is already being screwed by these crown whales.

The last time I tracked my farming results, I ran farming loops in Craglorn for 12 hours and sold the results for about 1 million gold, on PC/NA. If you don't have a maxed crafter, then nirncrux will still sell well or there's always farming alchemy flowers in the Hollow City. People always need flowers for potions!
Now, I don't know how much gold you want, so it might take more or less time to build up your desired "nest egg." But in general, I think it's a good idea to have some activity that makes gold in ESO even if you have limited playtime.
