Petition: clickandbuy the only way no,thanks.

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.

And some don't want to.

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.

Have you read anything above your post? Any company that requests a copy of your passport or driver's license to set up an autopay for an online game is not to be trusted. Any company that charges random charges to your account when you only want to pay your FFXI fee is not to be trusted. I'm glad you've had no problems, but do you actually look at your banking statements each month and notice the additional fees you're paying, for the same game?

boy theres a lot of stuff flying around in here. just an fyi ppl 1. POL is a third party billin system 2 i have used clickand buy with my bank debitcard for the past year with no issue, there was a random verification amt to verify the card when i first set it up but no real charge. clickandbuy is a secure pay site just like POL,PayPal ect. but if you're tired of the game uess its see you again. and i do check my bank statement every month, also i was not asked any question that SE and pol didn't already have and i was not asked for birth certificate or other nonsense.

Actually, POL isn't third party--it is SE's server, as in... the one you log into to play the game.

And the "stuff" that is "flying around" is real-life accounts of problems people have had with setting up/using C&B. If you didn't have problems, then great--it worked for you. You could take the same stance with SE's old billing method through the POL server--it worked for you, so there are no problems with it even though there is a long history of issues with it, right?

Simple fact remains....in addition to new payment options, the JP region gets to maintain the same billing practice directly through SE's server as they have in the past (a la POL billing), while everyone else is being forced off to another system that for some SIMPLY DOESN'T WORK for various reasons. In some cases currently paying customers are being denied any means to pay since NEITHER of the new options work for them. The simplest way to fix the CC billing option for those players is to BRING BACK the existing directpay 3DS method that they've extended ONLY to the JP region.

They've shown they are capable of doing it (reference the JP transfer process), they have the agreements to accept NA/EU credit cards already (reference their online store), it's a web-based solution that is easily ported into web-apps (reference any company that provides the solution)--the CC processor does the core work for you, you just plug in your site/account specific details into their scripts. SE CAN do it... for reasons unknown to the general public, they have CHOSEN not to do it.

It's going on almost 1000 replies of the same thing. Come on guys, a few more posts, we're almost there, we can do it!

But seriously, I'm still playing--for now. I'm still investing my time and energy into this hoping that this is going to be resolved.

I'm hoping that whatever changes they're going to make are going to happen this week. That would still give people 2 weeks to get switched over to whatever is deemed more acceptabe.

@ Community Reps Could we see some kind of input from SE this week? We've been kept in the dark for some time now. People are just going to get more anxious the closer we get to "D-Day" or "X-Day" or whatever we're calling this. Could we know what kind of changes are going to me made? Just letting us know what's going to happen will put out some fires. Even if the solution is unsatisfactory, it will put an end to the issue. No more duplicate threads, no more duplicate posts, and we can get back to gaming, or moving on to other pursuits.

[Nianny]

Woah, almost 1000 replies in this thread... 5 to go.


Edit: Panthera beat me to it.

I hate to say it but they are not going to change the way we pay here in the states or any other country, japan will be the only place that gets to keep the old way and were stuck with the C&B or crysta way of paying.

I agree 100%... SE hasn't replied to us because they won't change it.

They should at least give us the option, or being able to buy crysta in exact amounts. (Yes this has been said a ton now.)

The devs however have replied to us in the past so... Maybe it's just a matter of time, and people actually quitting before we get another reply.


Edit: Post number: 999
