adding my support~ really pissed with this.... payment is really becomming too cumbersome to even want to imagine dealing with... id be better off joining my brother and mom in WoW, as mush as i ~love~ its graphics... still better than having to deal with all this ><

Now there's an idea >_> despite I've had my account locked on WoW before for being hacked then used for some kind of chat spam, at least they were good enough to work with me and get my account back, which let me feel some trust in that company. Trust Im losing in SE (oh so dramatic~)

I just cancelled my wow sub a while ago since I could really only afford one mmo at the time and I decided to stick with ffxi. Starting to regret that choice now.

I rather just be able to buy Crysta directly through my Debit Card.

I don't want to have to pay more, for a bad system we're not even in control of other than supplying our information.

This is just going to cause more problems, and more monthly bans due to non payment. Unless we're suddenly no longer banning for non payment and simply suspending account till payment is made?

SE needs to touch on these subjects because right now, it's badly thought out with how they want to work it.

BTW, the Staff, really, sucks, it's horrible I mean really.

Crappy payment methods. At the point where its not worth putting in the effort to just pay them. They really don't want to make that money that badly that they put in retarded payment methods.

Severely disappointed. Last thing I want to worry about is if money I'm trying to give a corporation for a game goes through or not. You guys are going to lose a ton of money over this as well as loyal customers.

Yeah, really don't like that we were effectively forced into this signing up. We had no prior notice of this (don't count people who used it in FFXIV - most didn't) and I'm pretty sure if we had, there'd have been some serious backlash. Seriously, I swear sometimes Square-Enix just try to make it as hard as damn possible to do the simplest things.

All I want to do is pay for my account and have it done quickly, securely and without hours trying to set things in motion. Don't understand why they couldn't just use PayPal - everyone knows it, and most people trust it. Guess we're going to have to see how this new thing works out, but I shall be keeping a close watch on my bank account in the coming months for any "irregular charges". Any dodgy transactions and I'll just cancel it and use Crysta (maybe this is SE's covert plan in the first place).

If you don't agree and sign up to Click & Buy, you cannot play the game whatsoever. Even if you've paid your £17.99 from Steam and such, set up your content ID and got passwords ready. It just acts as if the account doesn't exist until you set that all-important financial agreement up! Found that out yesterday when setting up a second account (you still have to use Click & Buy even though it's a trial period and effectively "free").

Also, Square-Enix, if you're reading these posts: Please update how to use the redeem code for the Destrier Berets. The one you have on Steam and such does not work, and actually forcibly logs us out of PoL whenever we try to use it. I do not see anything about redeem codes on the SE Account Management site. Some help would be fantastic...thanks.

So I want to tell people, if you do the transfer now, it very much seems like you have to start with one of the new payment methods come august. In just a few days. So if you're trying to hold on, DO NOT do anything regarding the transfer until after the august billing cycle.

I've also seen people talking about purchacing crysta in incraments of 100. I do not know about otehr regions, but here in the US you cannot do this. The minimum you can buy is 500. Take note of this. The 100 was just SE's example of how it is 1 to 1 and not a fact that you could buy 100.

Not much point, everyone would have left the filter on!

That's gone now, you know...

Actualy it's still always on until you manualy turn it off yourself in teh first place.

New payment (Click and buy option)

Me: SE, i have your money.

SE: Oh, GOD. Don't pay me!

Me: What?

SE: Pay him and he will pay me.*points at shady guy*

Me: Ummm okaaay. Hey Mr., Will you give this money to SE for me?

Shady Guy: Yeh no problem, ... but its gonna cost ya.

You kow that this makes me think of? Tax dodging.

It's actually really sad to see all of the posts from people who are quitting, through choice or just not being able to use the new system. I really don't get it. SE have effectively shot themselves in the foot with this - losing money from the MMO that's making them any profit whatsoever. *shrug*

Square-Enix, we need an official response on this matter. You need to acknowledge that a sizeable chunk of your userbase is unhappy at the "choices" (I use the term very loosely) you've laid down in front of them. Any information at all would be great, but in particular: why this happened, is there any hope it will be changed, and do you realise the knock-on effect of implementing this system?

I've never had a problem with the POL payment system..

I mean sure, the interface was clunky; there were times when it was a bit slow, but it was convenient to have it in the pre-loader to the game. Although, the annoyance subsides once you stuck in your details and it was just a matter of leaving it to automatically debit your account (at least until credit/debit card number changed).

Then they added the whole verified by visa thing, and ok, it was an extra 1-2 steps to go through, but I got the feeling that it was to help secured my transaction between my bank and SE. It was only an extra step, browsing a webpage and getting a confirmation, no big change there. Once that was done it wasn't any different from previously... just leaving it running until something changed.

And now they add in click+buy and I'll admit I'm not impressed... jumping through stupid hoops, signing up to a third party to pay SE money, with an interface that timed out on me twice when trying to put in my details.

The one thing that really annoys me currently is that I've had a look around and I can't quite seem to find any sort of recurring payment option... I like it when payment is done automatically, but it seems like the only option currently is to buy a stackload of crysta and let it dwindle out of the account. It's going to be a pain in the ass having to remember when my payment is due and logging in and buying it from a third party...

Seriously SE, loads of people hated the POL payment system, but it worked... why are you making it more and more difficult for us to give you money?
