For me...
"Pay" is optional. If I pay, then I meet the requirement and have to take a gift for the heroquest. If I cannot or do not pay, then I do not meet the requirements of the heroquest. I don't know of any situation where "pay" is forced.
It's isn't that different from Cthulhu Wars spellbook requirements that are "As an action, pay X power..." Players aren't forced to take that as an action simply because they have the power to take it. Similarly, I don't think IG is forced to pay when a situation occurs that could complete a heroquest.
Similarly, there's no situation I know of where a player can pay more than there existing power/VP for something. Even overbidding on the Chaos Rift results in a non-payment. If the cost is pay 1 power and you have 0 power, then you can't pay.
However, it's going to be a situation that needs a official answers...
Q: Can IG pay for a heroquest if they have 0 power and 0 VP?
Q: If IG can afford to pay for a heroquest is the paying optional?

Yes, these 2 questions need official answers to them!
