This finally got bumped off of the main page. lol

Almost page 100, where is our direct payment option now?

[katz]

So I finally get it, SE dont listen to the forums or their user communities. This isnt worth getting to page 100 because despite all the people saying we dont like it or want it, SE will not do anything to change the direction of this payment fiasco. Must be so much easier in a country you can just do what you like than actually have people with opinions.

Hi guys what's going on in this thread?

SE is pissing people off by not taking 5 minutes to set up a vendor account with Paypal. Teh internets are hard yo!

It's kind of been awhile since the last update for this being such a big situation...

After playing FFXI for so many years it was kind of easy to see their big PR movement was a business move and nothing else. Though anyone could see FFXIV bombing and the PR movement being an obvious move of desperation. I was just kind of hoping they would have a part of them that wanted to care more about the player, but at this point It just seems like its a mask they're putting on.

The FFXI forums haven't really helped that much thusfar, I've mostly seen generic responses to requests as such, "Though that's a great idea, the time it would take to do something like that would be out of our reach". Every suggestion seems to be "too hard", "too time consuming". Though a lot of suggestions may seem dumb and unneeded, I can think of at least one that made me laugh. This one was the thread about your character not blinking when changing equipment. A dev responded and called it "impossible to implement".... when it's been an addon for windower for a couple years. Impossible!


At this point I'm not sure if this forum would even have helped this issue in the long run either. I still don't think we'll see anything until next month when they see a lot of subscribers missing. I think the devs that actually read these forums know this is going to be a serious problem, but I think the higher-ups won't until they see their precious numbers down. This means action won't be taken until the same time as if the forums were never here. This makes the forums a PR stunt and useless. I'd love to be proven wrong, I'd like to see SE change, but after FFXIV, I've lost faith that anything other than money will talk to them.

I like how the EU is stickied but what about the NA and the other countries that can't pay. I know for a fact that I am gonna get charged a foreign fee and if I do I am out. I am not over buying Crysta and have it sit. I want a direct option, exact Crysta, or other method based on us funds or I will walk. I have been playing since 2004 and have stayed on til now. I frankly don't trust click and buy from what I hear around here and rather deal with SE directly or pay an exact amount to a trustworthy company.

i really don't see the big deal. it's a little inconvenient to switch your info over to click and buy, but it only takes a few minutes, and SE just wants to have both of their MMOs paid through the same method. i haven't had a single issue with click and buy and i've had an account since 14 came out. totally not worth quitting over.

[RAIST]

If it works for you, that's great. Other's have posted that it doesn't work (either not supported for their region, or their bank is rejecting them or other difficulties verifying/activating)--some have also posted that they can't use Crysta either because SE isn't offering it to their region. So, there are some users getting shut out from paying now, and they've paid for years with the 3DS option.

The point is, when asked about this issue early on, we were told we could still use our 3DS cards--implying we would still get the direct-pay option like the JP have been able to keep (as well as getting more payment options). If you want to have automatic payments now, you HAVE to switch to C&B. If for some reason that doesn't work for you (either literally or figuratively)--you're SOL for an automatic payment option.

Still no word from SE on non-JP regions loosing the direct 3DS option...nor any indication they are looking into extending it either.

Why is it that every five posts is the same dribble. It's not hard to go back and read a few pages. You would realize that some people can't use either option.
