Gem store/ gold for gem greyed out?
to quote a post from Gayle Gray from a while ago, which was in reply to this question:
There is a ramp-up on some features, and that system is in place to prevent the use of new accounts for RMT (Real-Money Trading) activities. You know the sort, they are the third-party “Buy my gold and I’ll steal your account” guys.
If you play a bit more, the features will become available to you.

It gets unlocked when you level up enough, I’m not quite sure at what level though, but I think ~15-20 or so. Props to the NPE for that, it wasn’t like this until the “awesome” feature patch a month ago.
In addition to the quote above they’ve been restricting new accounts since launch to prevent gold sellers and the like. If it doesn’t go away with a certain level it will go away after your account is old enough it was 30 days at one point idk if that’s been changed or not. (That was originally for a slightly different thing but similar enough that it’s probably related.
