Petition: clickandbuy the only way no,thanks.

Or we could just have the ability to continue to be directly billed and it all go away!

I do not want to sit there and buy crysta either.

I see the positives of using Crysta. You choosing to process your payment every month means there is no chance of a charge back or any of the other issues that plagued the old billing system. It really wouldn't be that hard for me to choose my deductions monthly either.

The problem lay in being unable to purchase exact amounts of crysta. This is the part of the system that favors SE as you are now forced to overshoot in order to maintain an account. Guess what that means? You get stuck with varying sums of Crysta you can do nothing with.

Everyone knows companies are in this to make money but cmon, its like bumping up the monthly fee without actually doing it. Sure, you get back your money if you play for the long term but why entrap customers? Is that good business?

If they simply allowed customers to purchase the exact amount they wanted, this wouldn't be such a huge mess but in typical fashion they've upset people by giving individuals two crappy options to choose between.

Why the change SE? Please stick with what works.

you can not use prepaid credit cards anymore!!! Clickandbuy does not accept them. You have to have a bank credit card or you have to inconvenience yourself to go buy an ultimate game card from 7-11, or other places, so you can pay using crysta.

Paypal may accept those prepaid cards, give it a try.

Dont the cards themselves cost more than the actual value of the crysta? Unless maybe you make an online account?

Click and Buy sent all kinds of red flags up when I tried to do it to play XIV, and couldn't in the end 'cuz it was impossible to make an account without a phone number or something.

I'll go with Crysta with forced, but this is ridiculous. Not a happy customer.

After this long, changing payment is a terrible idea. Especially with all of the players that will be unable to continue. I've played this since it was released, kept quiet, bit my tongue. No more, if this goes live like they're planning... my friend and I will be finding another place to spend our time and hard earned money. Thank you for a wonderful game, SE, but I'm afraid the line in the sand has been drawn.

Skimmed a JP thread. There's lots of talk about webmoney and the only MOD responce was directing people to the FAQ sticky.

This is not true; I paid for XIV through a prepaid credit card when XIV was still accepting payments, though the process of reversing unauthorized transactions and such is tedious and should never have been an issue in the first place.

It is able to accept payment for other games it has in its list, as well, but I won't delve into those.

I just do not want to be forced to buy Crysta because of points outlined above. I want a simple, automated payment method that is directed to the company who owns the servers for the game I'm playing on, no middle-men or nothing.

Is that so much to ask for?

Ya I looked at that too. I don't speak, read or understand Japanese unfortunately, I only saw references to WebMoney, but did notice that there was a response from a MOD to about as many posts there as here. I checked the French and German sites too this morning, didn't see much reaction to the change.
