Petition: clickandbuy the only way no,thanks.

[Zumi]

A friend of a friend tell you that?

No its true go ahead google it if you don't believe me.

Edit: just went and googled it myself, Russia, Brazil, Latin America most of Asia have monthly fees for SC2.

Russia only it seems, but they get the game at a discounted price to begin with. Can't find info on payment methods. It's all an aside though from the issue at hand here.

Nice knowing you guys.

Im bad, Im not reading all these 19 pages (got to 6 and seeing the same thing over and over) but its titled 'petition' so Im just adding my 2cents if something like this wasnt already said. The whole crysta scenario seemed stupidly complicated just to play a game and too much of a hassle. But considering clickandbuy as the only alternative my whole ls is signing up for crysta.

Here's my problem though. Crysta isnt available in my country. So my single option to keep playing this game is registering with clickandbuy, which from everything I've heard I really dont want to do. And after reading about people getting their cards frozen and having this option blocked to them, if the same thing happens to me (or any other player from a country crysta isnt available to) well then we're screwed.

This is ridiculous, and unfair. Why are they privileged to not deal with this and we have to?

[Dragoy]

I read the first couple posts but your kidding yourself if anyone is going to sit there and read all 19 pages.

It's only at page 5 for me...
Okay, okay... I might have 40 posts per page going on but yeah, there's a lot more in this than just ClapandBye. ^^;

The system is already in place for the JPs, just give it to us for Christ's sake. This is beyond ridiculous if they actually allow JP's as the only region to continue to use the current payment system.

I think they meant that they have the option with the new, Square Enix Account system, not 'retaining the old one'.
I think.

And that said, they are likely planning to introduce it, or something similar to the rest of us in due time.
It could be in testing already! Or not...
Well, at least one can always hope for it.


But as it is now, it really might be the last month for me too.
I sometimes do not log in for days now, but still have always been paying the full price, and I know many others who are the same.


It's sad but true.

Anyway Crysta reminds me of Xbox live points in that, you will always be paying more and have extra balance. I can recall MS getting sued for it but I doubt they won.

Except that you buy the MS points directly from Microsoft and don't have to go through multiple steps to do so, like SE is doing with Crysta. MS is a simple click, add points, select card to use and hit done. And you don't need them to play games, you just need them if you want addons or bonus content, where as with Crysta you need it to even play FFXI. Bad system is bad.

Add to that, the screen shot from the Japanese forums and this is a major slap in the face to everyone else, and is unacceptable. We should demand a mod contact someone from SE and demand why they can pay directly but we can't.

[Zumi]

SE really needs to hire someone to go in and fix the terminology on their SE account site. When you see stuff like "Automatically Continued Options" makes you think "What the hell does this even mean?"

I can understand doing this for a brand new game, but a game where ppl have been playing N years and are used to auto billing, I really don't get it. For those that are paying for 2-3 accounts are they going to bother buying surplus crysta on all of them each month? For those with a single account are they going to bother? Probably not if they were using XI as a glorified AIM or just logging on rarely but didn't bother to cancel. Or if they don't have or rarely use paypal. I now question if SE understands the reasons many players continue paying for their product. They should have really like...asked us...before implementing this. This seems like moreso than any single issue in the past, yes including salvage bans, it has the potential to really dwindle the player base. I don't know if it will or not, but look at the feedback on various forums. As someone with an actual 3d verified CC, it really is annoying, particularly when japanese customers apparently can continue paying with CC or buy crysta in any amount they please. It makes me wonder does SE even want their other customers. There has always been favoritism in game but for that to extend to billing... I understand about non verified CC and chargebacks and the expense of a billing department, all of that, but why should i be put thru this when i've never had an issue with the CC? There should be an option to continue auto paying with CC each month, as we were led to believe would be the case.

Idk about SC2, but on WoW they will soon start a monthly fee here. And cheaper than US one lol. 15 BRL which should be around 9.0 USD with some taxes to it.
