Petition: clickandbuy the only way no,thanks.

[Romanova]

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

It's not even close to being the only method though.

Figured as much -.-

Ya to clarify, I believe paypal can't be accessed in all countries, so some games (especially ones like Starcraft that are popular in a lot of countries that don't have paypal) will give access to clickandbuy which is a European site.

But they just allow it as another type of payment method, not force it or try to make it the primary method.

Is 30 days deal so bad? I think it's much easier to cancel and reactivate the account like this. You take a break and when you return the $12.95 or whatever you pay will mean 30 days. This was not the case before. If you returned mid month your money would only value 15 days.

What is really left (i don't know if it currently works like this) is if we cancel the IDs to take a break we can still keep whatever amount of days left as credit for when we return. That would make it perfect. I'm very fond of quick breaks.

Hate to say it, but this just may drive me away from the game. There's no reason why billing should be so tedious. Crysta looks like a complete scam too.

Silver lining though: it'll make room for the Autumn rush of games that interest me.

I think that once you pay for 30 days, it only lasts 30 days. I mean 30 days and not 30 play time days...

Edit: Also if you set up recocurring payments with SE they charge you an extra $1.00. It's in their new ToS too.

This is so depressing, I just found out that for the Japanese players can still pay directly to SE via CC, just like what we used to now.... this is a good way to make FFXI JP only, since all your NA/EU players will now be quitting, and nice way to save Japan's electricity crisis in helping the recovery of 311 earthquake by cutting all international internet connection to your FFXI servers.

Just posting in this thread to agree, the whole situation is pretty awful. I left my feelings on the matter as feedback in the service&support section of SE's website. I urge everyone else to do the same.

I don't wish to use clickandbuy, and I don't wish to purchase "Crysta" since I don't like overpaying, nor do I want to feel like I should keep playing just to minimize losses by purchasing Crysta. I know saying this won't matter, but $12.95/month or gtfo, SE.

Square Enix, why is it so hard to give you my money?

WTF is that? SE is saying JP ONRY now? Bravo SE...

Can't speak JP so i can't verify this but if thats true.... JP can pay exact Crysta (mentioned last page) and they can also continue to pay directly with a CC, and no one else can...?

This is just unacceptable...
