Oh man, LOL gg SE gg.

I sense another server merge in 3-4 months.

Thanks SE for the 8+ years of FFXI. It was fun.

Registered just to post dissatisfaction with this policy. I have cancelled my content IDs and no longer wish to support SE's business.

nvm lol. Click and Buy will actually benefit me. I already pay a tax for all Dollar transactions, and if they turn it to BRL, in theory, i won't have to pay this bs~ (that is higher than their 5.9% currency exchange)

Pay pal would have been much better though hehe.

After learning how click an buy works i realised it was not a good option so glad i learnt that through ff14 and now went straight for crysta via paypal.
Still it sucks that im now paying alot more than i was before.
hopefully they can add better option like paying exact ammount instead this crysta stuff , it the xbox live way of doing things and it not great.

Also posting saying I really hate this system. Can't use my credit card without using Click and Buy, and can't buy Crysta without using... Click or Buy.

I already have my characters canceled because I don't expect this to change within a week or two... Or month... Or maybe ever. When it comes down to it, FF11 is just a game, and I can live without it if I'm forced to go with companies I don't trust and never heard of until now.

I dunno if anyone else has researched how Click and Buy works since I haven't read the entire thread, but since SE is likely going to be charging in US dollars, you'll get charged an extra 5.9% for the currency conversion (Which is applied after the conversion). So this applies if you're Canadian and paying for the game with a credit card that by default uses Canadian Dollars. And like others have mentioned, you're getting charged 13 times a year, not 12 now. So for me, I'm at LEAST paying an extra 5.9%. Even more with Crysta since that 5.9% still applies but I can't get the extact amount of Crysta (Just 1395 crysta would cover the fee, but I'd be stuck going with 1500). This is all assuming SE will charge me in US dollars, but I'm pretty confident they will since that's what they've done up until now.

(Also just for fun: Go to Google and type in "click and buy" in the search box. See the second most searched term? Yeeaaah... Sounds like people are liking this service)

But hey, I'll keep an eye on things and come back if they make a system that makes sense and doesn't screw over the user. Until then though, guess I'm saving $13.95+ a month.

SE you need to stop screwing the players over.

Have you heard about their stocks?

Just a point of interest I guess... Starcraft II uses ClickandBuy.

If they see this outcry and change the system (unlikely) then there won't be an issue. Otherwise, I'm thinking I'm 'bout done with this.
