I like how quickly they responded to the ho to use Crysta thread.

I'll give this thing a shot but the second I'm charged more than my montly bill, see you SE

Why do I all of sudden get an impression this new system for crysta could be getting setup to allow for purchasing ingame items with. For example you want emp upgrade items you can buy them for real money.

Sounds crazy but if SE really wants to start making money that is the way to do it. Pay 12.95 for the game and for people that don't have big ls's you can buy items for real money. They have talked about this before and there has been rumors that FF14 would become free to play but with micro-transactions for items.

hmmm.

Sounds like another bad idea, you don't get stuff in game for having money, you get it by earning it. You don't have an Empyrean, a Relic, a Mythic, etc. you either haven't earned it or haven't YET earned it.

If that would realy be the case then SE would in a way turn into the RMT that they ran out of the game with the taskforce theyd just be hideing behide a shady crysta system

Clearly you don't know about LSs who sell emperians if you pay them 60m. So if you bought the gil then yeah you get things for having real money.

So it occurs to me, and I don't know if it's been addressed yet because this thread moves so fast, but what about our friends coming back to the game? They still have old accounts that would need to get activated,, but they couldn't migrate them for a whole month. So they'd had to wait an entire extra month after their decision to come back to the game to come back to the game. Or are they just losing their stored accounts since they won't have transferred in this little window?

Touche, Change that 'don't' to 'shouldn't'.

I'm still waiting for a community rep or SE official to come in here and try to do some damage control, but it's obvious that they can't/won't touch this topic with a 10 foot pole. They know that if they say anything other than they are adding a way to make direct payments to SE without having to use crysta or click and buy then they will get crucified.

The whole change over has been a poorly managed disaster and I hope that someone or several someones at SE Japan lose their job over this fiasco.

I don't wish this at all. They're people, they need to be able to feed themselves and their families too. But I would like it if they respected me as their customer and fulfilled my desires to directly pay.

I don't care if anyone loses their job over people raging in a forum, I just hope to see an automated payment method through a more reliable company if not SE themselves.

How about the people they are sending to the unemployment line that worked in the CC processing center? Is that an acceptable loss? You can't tell me that SE dropping direct payments is not sending some people home.
