This is actually a clever ploy by SE to force people to use crysta and in doing so they make crysta somewhat legitimate since so many people will be using it. Think about it, what other reason could SE possibly have to make clickandbye the only way to direct pay? Everyone knows the bad reputation that clickandbye has, SE is counting on everyone going the crysta route instead. Eventually I see SE adding ingame items you can buy with crysta, making people familiar with crysta beforehand is a smart business move.

Final Fantasy XI needs a letter from the producer like XIV does. This thread is probably not going to go anywhere. We aren't Japanese so they don't listen to us.

Yeah i read that. I honestly can't understand SE at this point. Squaresoft should have NEVER been merged with Enix with their business practices the past few years. I have always had anticipation for Square games before the merger because one could always expect a great game play.

This POST merger practice with games and customers have all but ruined SE with stupidity and arrogance that their customers can't just say goodbye. I do have a feeling IF they don't change this billing requirement with shady 3rd parties and Japanese still maintaining CC activity from POL there will be a huge falling out of SE yet again.

Hmmm Smart you say. They have a limited customer base of people like myself who have been here years or taking breaks. They add abyssea content to obtain more "casual" players to their listed game play. SE then goes and changes the entire billing payment plan that most everyone here hates with a passion BUT lets Japanese players pay the same way they always have and you think this is smart business? I would bet SE hires people like you for their business practices since it works SOOO well.

Why is it Japanese players are able to pay in exact amounts and we are not?!

[Ramsos]

Whoa hold on, I am not saying that I like these changes. I was simply stating my theory on why I think they are doing this. They are going about this all wrong and are probably gonna lose a majority of the playerbase, but their strategy would make sense if they allowed us to buy crysta like the JPs

Does anybody know if Canadian players will be zapped by ClickandBuy for a currency conversion fee?

If they charge in US dollars to the Click and Buy account you use a Canadian Credit card with, then yes you will be charged extra. It says on their website they charge an additional 5.9% AFTER the conversion.

I just used the only power a consumer has in issues like this; both my account and my girlfriend's account are now canceled.

SE won't listen to us, despite how much I would love them to, so I don't see how much good it would do to give them more money.

Exactly what my brother and I just did.
