Enabling Gifting is a frustrating experience

Eskibidus · March 24

I tried requesting gifting to sell some crowns for gold, only to get what feels like an automated response implying I’m not "active in the community" or that I should "play normally."

I have 2600 CP, well over 180 days, and log in daily for dailies, pledges, BGs, and Imperial City. I even bought a crown pack, but ESO+ has no value for me outside of crowns (which I can’t sell).
Also I'm in 5 guilds where 2 of them are Trading Guilds, where I actively sell items.

I recently took a break but played regularly for two months and being told to "play normally" is just frustrating.
Meanwhile, I see 400 CP players and fresh accounts selling crowns(and gold) without issues.

And please don't tell me that the system isn't automated, because that is clearly untrue.

I've run into this issue many times, myself and with friends. It feels like an automation issue, wherein any breaks you take are a death sentence.

I agree; this needs to be addressed at some point!

I've been updating the ticket almost every day, and yet I haven't received a non-automated reply.
Taking a break from this game is really like a death sentence for your account...

We will have an update to this sometime next week. We have been looking into addressing some player concerns while making sure we are still keeping accounts safe.

I know I won't be buying any crowns until gifting is enabled on my account. And I know I'm not going to put in any special requests or jump through a bunch of hoops to get it enabled. ZOS will either enable it on their own or I will never buy crowns.
