If someone is referring to me, as an CG apologists. You are mistaken. First everyone read dev post. Post says " Our team is aware of certain issues folks are experiencing with the Guild Gifting feature and are investigating." Does it say broken or fix? Investigating means finding the issues and deciding on the next steps.
Seems to me issues are not with packs which are designed to be store at all times, so the store is not broken. The only issues are with the specials.
I wish GC would decide that the issues are worth fixing.
