And there are many times where you can back out and only have lost a couple nickels. HEAVEN FORBID.

Also, the Crysta amounts don't exist in a vaccum. Any intelligent person would see that , assuming you did use crysta for 8 years just to get every penny's worth of crysta used up, that if you put crysta in with $20 incriments, you could then add $10 and $5 to come out to the same $1295 that someone who felt the need to add crysta in $5 incriments did.
The question I pose to you is why do you think SE is selling crysta in these specific increments? Have computers suddenly become incapable of processing specific amounts?

The monthly fee is 12.95/month. Where is the option to pay.... 12.95/month in crysta? Why is there no option to pay the exact amount on a website? It's a cash grab. A "few nickles" adds up to a ton of money spread across multiple accounts and I know it, SE knows it and anyone willing to grab a calculator sees it.

Ive said it before and ill say it again. On a website, SE should have zero problems processing a crysta payment of the exact 12.95 because all of this is computerized and they knew the monthly fee going into switching over payment options.

It is in bad faith to offer individuals a payment system where you must overpay in order to receive a service, even if said overpayment comes down to a few cents here or there. The agreement was 12.95/month and not one cent over.

What if I only offered SE $12.50/month? It's only a few cents off 12.95 right? My ass would be deactivated until I paid in full.

That being said, I understand if crysta were sold in round increments via gamecards in order to make it simplistic for buyers at a retail outlet.

10/20/25/50/100 dollar cards are a whole lot easier to swallow for the consumer than 12.95/25.90/38.85/51.80 especially if the individual buying the card has no idea what the actual cost of the service is because they aren't the person playing XI.
